Positions
Economy & Taxes
Spike Cohen advocates for substantially reducing federal taxation and federal regulation and describes taxation as theft, supporting voluntary funding and smaller government. He and his 2020 Libertarian ticket promoted eliminating or dismantling the federal income tax and shrinking the size of federal government.
Healthcare
Favors minimal government involvement in social programs and emphasizes voluntary/private solutions such as private charity and mutual-aid instead of expanded federal healthcare programs; opposes broad government mandates (e.g., COVID lockdowns/mask mandates) and favors trusting individuals to make health decisions. These positions indicate preference for market-oriented or limited-government approaches to healthcare rather than major public expansions.

Immigration & Border
Supports expanding legal pathways and streamlining the immigration process, opposes harsh enforcement that creates black markets, and says federal authority to restrict immigration is limited—favoring state-level handling and reforms to allow migrants to work and integrate.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports abortion access on the basis that the government should not ban it; personally may disagree but believes the government has no right to outlaw abortion.
Climate & Energy
The candidate favors removing government subsidies for all energy sectors and reducing federal regulatory burdens on energy production, while supporting private legal accountability for polluters. Policy emphasis is on market-driven solutions and reduced government intervention rather than new regulatory mandates or aggressive federal emissions targets.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate affirms an unrestricted individual right to keep and bear arms and has stated that the right to own a gun should not be limited. He opposes broad government infringements on gun ownership and argues existing exigent-law authority addresses some safety concerns.
