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 proposes exempting each household's first $105,000 of income from federal income tax, phasing the break out for households above $750,000 and leaving the rates on income above that amount unchanged.6
His campaign website says the tax breaks for tips and overtime should stay in place permanently, with no expiration dates.6
- Make the tax break permanent or expand it
- Keep it as passed, with its current limits and end date
- Let it end, or replace it with tax relief not tied to tips or overtime
His campaign website says the property tax deduction should stay in place permanently, with no expiration date.6
His campaign website proposes a 23 percent minimum tax on companies with more than $5 billion in annual revenue, while family farms and small businesses keep their current rate.6
His campaign website says the deductions and offshore arrangements that let the largest corporations pay close to no tax should be shut down, and calls for ending corporate welfare, with savings it puts at $200 billion a year by the fifth year.6
His campaign website says he would back measures such as the Dollar-for-Dollar Deficit Reduction Act so that any debt ceiling increase is matched with spending discipline.6
Economy, Jobs and Trade
His campaign website says he supports H.R. 24, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act, which he describes as requiring a complete outside audit of the Federal Reserve.6
Housing
His campaign website says zoning and land-use decisions should return to local communities rather than be set by federal mandates.6
- 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
Agriculture and Rural Life
Elections and Government Reform
His campaign website lists championing the 10th Amendment, by limiting the authority of agencies whose leaders are not elected and shifting power back to states and localities, among the steps he would take in Congress.6
Courts, Rights and Civil Liberties
His campaign website says government pressure on technology and AI platforms is a growing threat to free speech, and lists support for the Free Speech Protection Act (S. 188) against government-directed censorship of lawful speech among the steps he would take.6
Guns
His campaign website says New Hampshire has been a constitutional carry state since 2017 and should stay one, and lists backing the National Constitutional Carry Act (H.R. 645) while keeping the federal law that removes carry rights from people convicted of a violent felony.6
- No permit needed for adults who can legally own a gun
- Require a permit, with a background check and training
- Require a permit and bar carrying in more places, such as parks, public transit and bars
Foreign Policy and Defense
His campaign website lists enforcing the War Powers Resolution so that sustained military action requires explicit approval from Congress, and repealing the 2001 authorization for use of military force and other broad, open-ended war authorizations.6
- Let the president order military action without needing Congress's approval
- Let the president act first, but enforce the 60-day limit and end any action Congress doesn't approve
- Require Congress to approve military action in advance, except to defend against an attack
