§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
His campaign website says he would hold government accountable for wasteful spending and bring budget discipline to Washington.4
Housing
His campaign website says local communities, not state or federal politicians, know best how to manage housing, schools and public safety, and that he would oppose one-size-fits-all mandates.4
- Have states require cities to allow more types of housing, such as apartments near transit
- Give extra state or federal money to communities that allow more homes
- Leave zoning decisions to local governments
§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.
Reported to the Federal Election Commission for the 2025–2026 election cycle, through October 14, 2026.5

§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.
