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
Her campaign issues page says she would oppose large spending packages and expansions of government bureaucracy, which it says push up inflation and living costs.4
Her campaign issues page says any changes to federal health programs such as Medicare should concentrate on removing waste, fraud and abuse.4
Economy, Jobs and Trade
Her campaign issues page lists easier access to capital for entrepreneurs, along with less red tape for job creators, among her goals for the economy.4
Health Care
Her campaign issues page says she supports lower health care costs through more competition, price transparency and patient choice, including stronger Health Savings Accounts, insurance sold across state lines and fewer regulations, while protecting people with pre-existing conditions.4
Crime, Policing and Prisons
Her campaign issues page says she wants law enforcement to be fully funded and is against any move to cut funding for or weaken police departments.4
Immigration
Her campaign issues page says she supports President Trump's border security policies and wants Border Patrol and ICE to have the tools to arrest and deport violent criminals, and that people who are in the country illegally should be removed if they commit serious crimes.4
Education
Her campaign issues page says she supports federal school choice policies, including charter schools and education savings accounts, with funding that follows each student.4

It also says she wants to work toward a society where women and families have enough support that abortion is not something they consider.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.

Smaller expenditures that appear only on a group's regular monthly or quarterly report aren't in these totals, so the full amounts can be somewhat higher. When a group amends a report, only its latest version is counted.
