Positions on the issues

  • OpposesProtect legal access to abortion

    Supports a federal abortion ban, saying life begins at conception.[4]

    “I support a federal abortion ban because I believe life begins at conception and that the right to life should be protected equally across state lines.”
  • SupportsExpand immigration enforcement and deportations

    Supports deporting violent criminals and those abusing government programs, and removing welfare incentives for unlawful residency, while supporting a path to lawful residency for some who arrived as children.[4]

    “We need a clear approach that starts with deporting violent criminals and those who abuse government programs. For others, we should remove incentives, like welfare benefits, that encourage illegal residency.”
  • OpposesStricter gun laws

    Supports constitutional carry and opposes legal hurdles to carrying a firearm.[4]

  • SupportsLoosen zoning rules to build more housing

    Supports zoning reform limited to genuine infrastructure or pollution concerns, and opposes tax incentives that treat homes as investments rather than shelter.[4]
