Immigration & Border
The candidate emphasizes protecting and building a safer America for immigrant neighbors but provides no detailed immigration policy on the campaign site. Public materials use humanitarian language about immigrants without specific positions on enforcement, asylum, or pathways to legal status.
Climate & Energy
Supports building a green grid and expanding clean energy jobs, defending public lands and increasing funding for wildfire and climate resilience projects; favors electrification of transportation and investment in climate resilience and infrastructure to reduce wildfire, drought, and extreme-weather risks.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate identifies as a firearms owner and emphasizes the value of self‑defense while also saying stronger action is needed to crack down on white‑nationalist militias and gun violence. He expresses skepticism that new federal firearms legislation will be durable under the current Supreme Court and does not set out a clear package of specific gun‑control measures in available public statements.
