Favors simplifying the tax code, reducing IRS power, and policies intended to spur private-sector growth over expanded federal spending.

Immigration & Border
Supports stronger border security and enforcement measures, opposes broad legalization/amnesty for undocumented immigrants, and backs policies targeting cartels and ending sanctuary jurisdictions. Emphasizes prioritizing legal immigration while increasing enforcement resources and accountability for countries contributing to migration flows.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Opposes abortion and supports significant restrictions on abortion access, including codifying protections for the unborn and supporting late‑term abortion bans and limits on federal funding for abortion. Endorses legal measures to protect unborn children and to recognize life beginning at conception. Supports conscience protections for providers and penalties for practices like allowing infants born alive after attempted abortions to die.
Climate & Energy
Opposes federal climate-related regulatory overreach and certain green energy mandates and subsidies (for example opposing HUD/USDA new home energy standards and subsidies for solar on farmland). Has pushed investigations into federal climate data collection by agencies and introduced measures to block energy-efficiency mandates. Positions emphasize limiting regulation and subsidies rather than supporting aggressive emissions regulations or large federal climate programs.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate opposes expanded federal gun restrictions such as universal background checks and similar measures, defends broad Second Amendment protections, and criticizes legislation he says would burden law‑abiding gun owners. He has described background‑check bills as unconstitutional or unnecessary and expressed opposition to laws that he views as creating registries or third‑party requirements for private transfers. He also opposes other proposed limits such as magazine bans and red‑flag style restrictions.
