§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.
Taxes and Budget
Immigration
His campaign website says he supports legal immigration and a secure border, and wants to regain control of the border and enforce current immigration law.4
Foreign Policy and Defense
Health Care
His campaign website says he supports patient-centered healthcare that includes price transparency, more choice and competition and fewer administrative burdens, and that medical decisions should stay with patients, families and health professionals rather than distant bureaucracies.4
§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.
