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.
Elections and Government Reform
His campaign website says gerrymandering should be banned by having non-partisan committees draw state maps based on the 10-year census, and that he will push for legislation to do so.5
- Have independent commissions, not lawmakers, draw district lines
- Let legislatures draw the lines, but only once a decade after the census
- Let legislatures draw and redraw the lines when they choose
Economy, Jobs and Trade
His campaign website says he opposes any tariffs on imports from any other country.5
- Lower or remove most tariffs
- Targeted tariffs on some countries or goods
- Broad tariffs on most imports
His campaign website says he favors letting private individuals and groups develop cryptocurrency, objects to how the head of the SEC is treating companies that work with decentralized digital currencies, and would back a bill like the SEC Stabilization Act of 2023 to keep any one party from holding a majority at the agency.5
Crime, Policing and Prisons
His campaign website says he opposes the war on drugs and supports legislation that would fully legalize marijuana, and that legalization, along with treating addiction as a medical rather than criminal problem, offers the best route to cutting off the cartels.5
- Keep recreational use against the law
- Reduce penalties for having small amounts, without legal sales
- Let each state decide, with no federal penalties where a state allows it
- Make it legal for adults to buy and use
Abortion and Reproductive Health
His campaign website says he prefers to leave medical decisions to patients and their doctors, and that government should not be relied on to resolve the abortion issue.5
Education
His campaign website says he is against banning books because it constitutes censorship, and that he also opposes giving parents and legal guardians a blank check.5
