Immigration & Border
Supports increased border security and funding for border authorities while also advocating for lawful humanitarian processing, expanded legal pathways (Safe Zones Act), and limits on heavy‑handed ICE tactics. Has called for bipartisan legislation to fund and reform border processing and criticized aggressive enforcement actions.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports broad access to abortion and has a pro-choice voting record in Congress, including high scores from reproductive-rights organizations. Has also criticized Democratic messaging on abortion in his majority-Catholic district and at times taken politically cautious votes (e.g., voting “present” on a born-alive related measure).
Climate & Energy
Supports an "all-the-above" energy approach that promotes domestic oil and gas production and cross-border energy infrastructure while also supporting development of wind and solar in South Texas and voting for major climate and clean-energy investment legislation. Has advocated for expanded LNG exports and leads the Congressional Oil and Gas Caucus. Overall positions combine support for both fossil fuels and renewable energy without a clear prioritization toward aggressive emissions targets or fossil-fuel phase-out.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports expanded background checks for firearm sales and transfers; has voted in favor of Bipartisan Background Checks legislation. No clear public evidence of support for an assault weapons ban or opposition to police funding was found in the sources reviewed.
