ON THE ISSUES

REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS:

When asked in an April primary debate about whether human embryos should have the same rights as people, Jack stated that restrictions on reproductive rights should be left to the states.[iv]

IMMIGRATION & BORDER SECURITY:

Jack’s campaign platform argued “there is no more pressing issue” than the border crisis, and that “the ongoing invasion of millions of illegal migrants across our border – ushered on by this administration and Democrats in Congress – is an existential threat to America’s sovereignty and national security.” He pledges to “end Biden’s border invasion,” finish the border wall, fund ICE and border patrol, deport those in the country illegally, and reform immigration laws “to prioritize the prosperity of working-class Americans.”[v]

ECONOMY & JOBS:

On his campaign website, Jack advocates for embracing digital innovation and providing “clear, common-sense guidelines for blockchain technology,” arguing new technologies will create jobs and protect American consumers. He calls for reducing spending, working towards a balanced budget, and “unleashing American energy” to put the country on a “path to recovery.”[vi]
