National issues
Federal budget / taxes
Examiner questionnaire (Budget): “We have to get back to passing the federal budget using the regular appropriations process instead of short-term continuing resolutions (CRs) and massive emergency spending packages.”
Abortion
No position found in sources checked
Immigration / border
Examiner questionnaire (Immigration): “There is no doubt our immigration system is broken. The posture and policies of President Trump have stopped the flow of illegal immigration across the Southern border.”
Examiner questionnaire (Birthright Citizenship): “I oppose unrestricted birthright citizenship and was disappointed by the Supreme Court’s ruling this summer. I support congressional action to reform how the United States grants citizenship. The current system is subject to abuse and creates incentives for illegal immigration.”

Guns

Trade / tariffs
Examiner questionnaire (International Relations): “I serve as the chairman of the Ways and Means Subcommittee on Trade. While I am not a fan of tariffs, I am a fan of engaging with our trading partners. If you aren’t having trade conversations, we are moving backward, and we saw that under President Biden.”
Foreign policy (Ukraine, Israel, etc.)
Examiner questionnaire (International Relations): “I serve as the chairman of the Ways and Means Subcommittee on Trade.
