Why they say they're running

§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.
Abortion and Reproductive Health
His campaign website lists Pro-Life/Right to Life among the things he stands for and says he considers the Mississippi law upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court, which he describes as allowing abortion only to save the mother's life, a commonsense approach.6,
- Legal only to save the pregnant woman's life
- Legal only in cases of rape or incest, or to save the woman's life
- Legal early in pregnancy only, up to a limit such as 6, 12 or 15 weeks
- Legal until about 24 weeks, as under Roe v. Wade, and later to protect the woman's life or health
- Legal at every stage, with no limit based on weeks of pregnancy
His campaign website says no government funding, at the federal, state or local level, should go to abortion providers, Planned Parenthood among them.7
- Bar public funds for abortions and for groups that provide them, including for their other services
- Bar public funds for most abortions, but let clinics that provide them be paid for other care
- Let Medicaid and other public programs cover abortion (ending the Hyde Amendment)
Guns
His campaign website says concealed carry licenses should be valid in all jurisdictions, in the way a driver's license is.7
- Require every state to accept other states' permits
- Let each state decide which permits to accept
Immigration
His campaign website says the national borders must be secured and calls for building the wall now.7
- Build walls or fencing along much more of the border
- Add barriers only in selected places, relying mainly on technology and agents
- Build no new barriers and spend the money on other border security
His campaign website says states and local governments that label themselves sanctuaries should not be eligible for any federal funding or aid.7
Elections and Government Reform
His campaign website says a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver's license, military ID or passport, should be required to vote.7
- Require a government-issued photo ID, with free IDs for people who need one
- Require ID but accept other documents, such as a utility bill or bank statement
- Don't require ID at the polls; confirm identity through registration records and signatures
His campaign website lists term limits among the things he stands for and describes him as chairman of the Mississippi chapter of US Term Limits.6
Education
His campaign website says he believes the separation of church and state was meant to prevent a mandated religion, not to restrict religion in public places or schools, and says the Mississippi constitution keeps the Bible in public schools.8
Energy and Climate
His campaign website says the country needs all forms of energy, listing nuclear along with clean coal, oil, natural gas, hydroelectric, hydrogen, wind and solar.7
Health Care
His campaign website says people should be free to decline a vaccine or a treatment for reasons of personal choice or religious belief.7
His campaign website says healthcare costs, insurance company limits on access and the loss of rural healthcare call for changes to national health policy, and that a single uniform healthcare system would not work, because people need solutions that fit the individual.9
§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, 2026.10

§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.
