Immigration & Border

Climate & Energy
Supports protecting agricultural interests from federal environmental regulation and opposes international/net-zero banking commitments that would impose greenhouse-gas disclosure or limits on farmers; emphasizes preparedness for extreme weather impacts on agriculture while prioritizing farm economic stability. Positions favor market/industry protections and resisting what he describes as federal overreach rather than endorsing aggressive emissions regulations or phasedown of fossil fuels.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate is a strong supporter of Second Amendment rights and has received endorsements from pro-gun organizations; he has also emphasized partnering with and supporting law enforcement. Public statements and endorsements indicate support for gun rights while backing law enforcement resources and public safety efforts.
