Policy Positions
Positions as of July 1, 2026, extracted from source websites.
Climate(1)
Takes a cautious stance on PFAS regulation, suggesting the public health risk must be accurately weighed against the costs of eliminating PFAS before imposing regulations.
"We need to accurately assess and balance the effect of PFAS on the population to the costs of not having PFAS."
Criminal Justice(1)
Supports legalizing or decriminalizing drugs at the federal level, arguing it is more effective than prohibition and would reduce racial disparities and community harm.
"Legalizing or decriminalizing drugs at the federal level would: Allow us to rely on personal & family responsibility, rather than government force. Reduce imprisonment and its associated costs. End the destruction of communities caused by illegal drug traffic and government efforts to control it. Reduce racial disparities in drug crime sentencing. Make opioid treatment easier to access with less stigma."
Economy(2)
Opposes funding healthcare through debt, warning that single-payer care would be paid through taxes or by laying debt on future generations.
"Plus, it isn't free; it's paid by taxes or, worse, by laying more debt on future generations."
Supports reducing government regulations to help people enter the childcare market and other small business sectors.
"State business regulations may make it hard for people to enter the market to provide childcare services. Federal subsidies, while well-meaning, could be counterproductive; subsidies would cause the price of childcare services to increase, making child care even less affordable for those who don't qualify for the subsidy."
Healthcare(5)
Supports market-based, competition-driven reforms to control Medicare costs and empower recipients to choose lower-cost options.
"I believe the best way to control costs is to give people incentives to choose resaonable lower cost options, creating competition to reduce prices and giving providers incentives to improve quality. I think market-based care is the best way to achieve these ends, and I would seek solutions that empower Medicare recipients to make wise choices of health care resources."
Supports converting government-funded healthcare programs to high-deductible plans and allowing states to manage Medicaid with work requirements and time limits as they see fit.
"Convert government-funded programs to high deductible plans that encourage patients to use healthcare resources wisely... I favor allowing and encouraging states to manage their Medicaid programs as they see fit, so that we can see what time limits and work requirements work best in the real world."
Supports allowing patients to purchase medication from other countries and reducing regulations on pharmaceutical development to lower costs.
"Give patients the freedom to buy medication from wherever they want, even from other countries. This freedom would come with the responsibility to make wise choices. Reduce regulations that limit access to and increase the cost of healthcare services and pharmaceutical development."
Opposes single-payer healthcare, arguing it limits choice and leads to government rationing of care, while preferring market-based alternatives.
"Single-payer 'free care' helps assure care for everyone but limits choice and makes government ration care. Plus, it isn't free; it's paid by taxes or, worse, by laying more debt on future generations. My preference is to encourage market-based care."
Supports reducing regulations to increase the supply of mental health services and using market-based approaches to lower costs and expand access.
"Reducing regulations at the state level could increase the supply of mental health services. Market-based healthcare would lower the costs and increase access, too."
Social Issues(1)
Supports keeping government out of abortion funding, favors gestational limits based on viability, and supports allowing states to set their own abortion regulations.
"A reasonable, balanced policy could include: Keeping government out of funding abortions. Making abortion illegal after a certain period of gestation, with proper consideration for the health of the mother. Allowing different states to adopt different regulations, based on the views of the people in those different states. My preference would be a gestational age limit based on viability."
