Positions on Key Issues
| Issue | Stance | Confidence | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|
| Economy | Promotes fiscal discipline and a smaller federal government. Advocates a simpler tax system with a broad-based flat tax to reduce complexity and boost revenue, and proposes incentive-aligned governance with performance-based spending reductions. | ● high | |
| Immigration | No public position found | ○ low | No sources |
| Civil Rights & Equality | Official campaign materials do not publicly articulate a specific stance on civil rights and equality; available pages emphasize liberty, limited government, accountability, and traditional conservative priorities rather than explicit civil rights policy. | ○ low | |
| Education | No public position found | ○ low | No sources |
| Healthcare | Richard Dansie supports healthcare reform aimed at lowering costs by fixing incentives rather than expanding government. His plan centers on a National Physician Registry to improve provider verification and cross-state access, and Medical Claims Reform with expert review and restorative remedies, while preserving patient choice and not turning healthcare into a larger government program. | ● high | |
| Firearms & Second Amendment | [No public, clearly articulated stance found after checking campaign site and credible sources; the campaign emphasizes liberty and limited government but does not publish a specific firearms policy position. In absence of a stated policy, no formal stance can be asserted.] | ○ low | |
| Election Policy | No explicit public stance on election policy is documented on the campaign site as of the latest check; Dansie emphasizes limited government, accountability, and reform of incentives, but does not provide specific election policy proposals such as voting access, election integrity, or campaign finance reforms in the public-facing materials reviewed. | ○ low |
