Positions

LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

Supports tax relief and targeted tax credits for small businesses, expansion and simplification of business deductions (including Qualified Business Income), immediate expensing, and payroll tax credits tied to hiring and apprenticeships; favors regulatory reform and federal incentives to spur private-sector job creation and local economic growth. Proposes temporary tax relief and credits to protect small businesses during government shutdowns and incentives for housing and workforce retention in the district.

Healthcare

Supports market-based reforms to increase competition and choice (interstate sales, expanded HSAs, direct primary care) while preserving protections for preexisting conditions and providing time-limited, state-administered safety nets via block-grants rather than a federal single-payer system.

Immigration & Border

Tony Sabio’s campaign platform emphasizes securing the border, enforcing immigration laws, and modernizing legal immigration while also expressing support for immigration reform measures and criticizing certain enforcement practices. Public statements combine enforcement-focused language with references to reform-oriented proposals, producing mixed signals on whether his approach is primarily enforcement-first or reform/humanitarian-focused.

Climate & Energy

Emphasizes lowering energy costs, American energy independence, and market-friendly policies under a conservative framework; prioritizes affordability and jobs in energy policy. Positions are framed as part of a broader "Energy Affordability & American Power" agenda.
