His campaign's issues page puts costs under fiscal restraint: he is described as a strong fiscal conservative who will cut taxes and stop wasteful spending against a national debt of over $36 trillion, and who will bring down costs and remove regulations he says were designed to hurt energy companies, while backing President Trump's economic agenda, manufacturing and jobs. The page carries no numbered proposal. His campaign's home page carries no issue text at all: the five cards under its "we are fighting for..." heading are unfilled template placeholders reading "issue title one goes here and here and here" over Lorem ipsum.
His campaign says the cost of living is the centre of his economic programme: raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour, expand overtime eligibility, tax corporations that pay executives more than 250 times their median worker, end the tax breaks that let the largest corporations pay no federal income tax, expand the Child Tax Credit, pass paid family leave, protect Social Security by lifting the tax cap above $400,000, and repeal the tariffs he says are raising prices.
His campaign's tax platform is the whole of his economic programme: repeal the federal income tax, abolish the Internal Revenue Service and, in his words, "replace them with nothing", which he puts at an average of $25,844 per federal income taxpayer; never vote to raise taxes; cut spending to match; and on trade, revoke the president's emergency tariff authorities and restore tariffs to Congress because tariffs are "taxes on consumers".
His own account says he passed a bill cutting property taxes for child-care centres. SB 1145 of the 88th Legislature created a local-option exemption from property taxation, by a county or a municipality, of all or part of the appraised value of real property used to operate a child-care facility. Senator West authored it; the House Sponsor field names five members and he is the first of them. Its identical House companion, HB 3621, is his own bill. Its last action, on May 29, 2023, reads "E See remarks for effective date", and the remarks record that the act takes effect January 1, 2024 but only if the voters approve SJR 64; whether they did is not established by any source this desk cites. Limit: He is the first-named House sponsor of the act and the author of the identical House companion, which did not itself pass, so "I passed a bill" is borne out on the record's own fields. Two bounds. The exemption is local option: it cuts no tax by itself, and each county or city decides whether to adopt it, which this card does not check for any jurisdiction. And the act depended on a constitutional amendment the voters approved separately. The post carries no link and no video and nothing outside its text was read.
