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.
Taxes and Budget
Housing
His campaign website says he would support policies that remove unnecessary barriers that raise housing costs and that encourage responsible growth.5
Crime, Policing and Prisons
Environment and Public Lands
His campaign website says he would support active forest management, wildfire mitigation and watershed protection, in close cooperation with local communities and first responders.5
Health Care
His campaign website says Medicare should be protected for seniors and Medicaid preserved for the truly vulnerable, and that both can be strengthened by rooting out fraud, expanding price transparency and encouraging competition while resisting a full federal takeover.5
Immigration
His campaign website calls for restoring orderly, legal pathways for entry, strengthening employment checks and holding accountable employers who exploit vulnerable workers.5
His campaign website calls for rapid but humane returns of people who enter the country unlawfully.5
Energy and Climate
His campaign website supports expanding energy production from oil and natural gas, nuclear, hydro, geothermal and practical renewables, rather than mandates it says drive up costs.5
Agriculture and Rural Life
His campaign website says purchases of large agricultural areas, water resources, key infrastructure and land near military installations by governments or actors from nations that do not share American values should be restricted or limited.5
§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.

§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.
