Websites and accounts

§3What they've said on the issues

Why this matters: These are positions the candidate has stated publicly — on their campaign website or in public statements — summarized in plain words with a link to where they said it. Issues they haven't spoken about publicly are left out.

Drafted by AI from the public sources cited. Each sentence links to its source.

Each issue has its own range of views. A position is marked on that range only when the candidate's own statement clearly matches one option; there is no overall left–right score.

Elections and Government Reform

His campaign website says he supports mandatory Real ID to vote.5

  1. Require a government-issued photo ID, with free IDs for people who need one
  2. Require ID but accept other documents, such as a utility bill or bank statement
  3. Don't require ID at the polls; confirm identity through registration records and signatures
Marked: the option their statement matches.

His campaign website says he supports immigration status verification to vote, so that only American citizens can vote.5

His campaign website lists banning stock trading by members of Congress among his priorities.5

  1. Ban members and their spouses and dependent children from owning or trading individual stocks
  2. Ban members themselves from trading individual stocks
  3. No ban; keep the reporting rules, with stronger penalties for late reports
Marked: the option their statement matches.

Energy and Climate

His campaign website says he supports unleashing domestic energy production and expanding oil, natural gas, nuclear and clean coal production.5

Immigration

His campaign website says the country must continue to deport people in the country illegally who have committed crimes, and secure its borders and all points of entry.5

His campaign website says the merit-based America First immigration policy should stay in place.5

Health Care

His campaign website says he would end Obamacare and put in its place a vehicle that works for all Americans, and would preserve Medicaid and Medicare by cracking down on government waste and fraud.5

§4Money

Why this matters: Campaigns report where their money comes from and how much they have left. Outside groups that spend on their own, without coordinating with the campaign, report that too.

Outside spending

Groups spending independently reported $694,100 supporting and $704,806 opposing Casey Askar this cycle, primary and general combined, in the 24- and 48-hour reports the law requires for larger expenditures, filed through October 26, 2026.8

Smaller expenditures that appear only on a group's regular monthly or quarterly report aren't in these totals, so the full amounts can be somewhat higher. When a group amends a report, only its latest version is counted.

§5Financial disclosures

Why this matters: Federal candidates and members of Congress must report their assets, income, debts and outside jobs, and members must report stock trades. These filings show possible conflicts of interest.
