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.

His campaign website says he will not take corporate PAC money, wants to roll back rules that let large companies, lobbyists and the very wealthy drown out regular voters, and supports passing the DISCLOSE Act.3,

- Ban members and their spouses and dependent children from owning or trading individual stocks

His campaign website says the national debt is being passed on to future generations and calls for balancing the books.4

- Set rules for specific risks and uses, such as deepfakes, hiring decisions and safety disclosures
- Rely mainly on existing laws, without new rules written for AI
Economy, Jobs and Trade
His campaign website says Congress should pass the CLARITY Act and two other digital currency bills so that clear rules protect consumers and keep the United States a leader in the field.4
- Write separate federal rules for crypto, as the House-passed bill would, with most tokens overseen as commodities rather than securities
- Write separate crypto rules, but with stricter protections than the House-passed bill, such as tougher anti-money-laundering rules or ethics limits on senior officials' crypto businesses

Housing
His campaign website says the red tape that drives up construction costs should be cut and smart local development encouraged.4
Crime, Policing and Prisons

§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.
