Positions
Economy & Taxes
The candidate supports lower taxes, fewer regulations, and a pro-growth agenda aimed at lowering costs for families and strengthening the economy. Priorities include tackling inflation and promoting policies that favor American workers and energy production as ways to reduce costs.
Healthcare
The campaign materials do not lay out a specific healthcare policy but state a priority to lower costs for families and pursue policies that make Texas affordable. No explicit positions on Medicare, Medicaid, a public option, or repeal of the Affordable Care Act are provided on the candidate’s issues page. Available statements emphasize general cost reduction and economic policies rather than detailed health‑care reforms.

Immigration & Border

Campaign materials pledge to “secure the border & enforce immigration laws” and to oppose policies they describe as enabling illegal immigration.
Climate & Energy
Supports expanding domestic oil, gas, and nuclear production, reducing regulations that limit fossil-fuel development, and rolling back Biden-era energy/environment policies while prioritizing U.S. energy independence and lower costs for consumers.
