  • "I am pro life. I believe every life is precious — I learned that firsthand when I nearly lost my own life in Afghanistan. It’s shaped the way I view the world and mankind. It’s in our interest as a country and as human beings that we protect and value life — from the unborn to the everyday person." (captainsambrown.com)
  • "I will oppose any bill that pushes for federal funding of abortion, late term abortions, or abortion without parental notification. And I will support federal judges who understand the importance of protecting life." (captainsambrown.com)
  • Despite exhaustive research, Vote Smart was unable to find information about this candidate's position.
  • "As a conservative, I will be a champion for fiscal responsibility, spending accountability, permanent tax relief, energy independence and security, and returning power back to state and local governments." (captainsambrown.com)
  • "Make the Trump tax cuts permanent" (x.com)

  • "I will oppose any effort by the extreme left to defund the police — which would cause irreparable harm to our communities. We see the damage that the anti-police movements have caused in cities like San Francisco, Portland, and New York. We don’t want that here in Nevada. I stand with law enforcement, and I’m committed to fully funding and enhancing – not politicizing – public safety." (captainsambrown.com)

  • "Nevadans have been hit hard by reckless spending in Washington. Under the Biden administration, skyrocketing prices for food, housing, and energy costs have destroyed family budgets. But instead of cutting back during these challenging economic times, Congress has mortgaged America’s future by spending even more and devaluing our currency." (captainsambrown.com)

  • "POTUS not alarmed by highest inflation in over 40 years. Downplayed the negative impact. Truth is that Fed interest rate increases need to be complimented by a decrease in government spending. Unfortunately he doesn’t understand economics. Get ready for more spending & pain." (x.com)
  • "For those celebrating $300B spent to forgive student loans, don’t be upset when: 1. IRS uses 87k new agents to squeeze everything it can from you to pay for this plan 2. Inflation continues to rise 3. Value of your degree drops as Higher Ed focuses on quantity over quality" (x.com)
  • "Every fraudulent vote cancels out a real vote. I want it to be easier to vote and harder to cheat. That’s why I’m committed to protecting one of our most sacred rights: the power to cast a ballot in an election. Passing election integrity legislation will be a top priority as a U.S. Senator." (captainsambrown.com)
  • "Voter ID is a common sense and highly effective way to secure our elections immediately." (captainsambrown.com)
  • "We have been blessed with an abundance of natural resources, but we’ve also been plagued by politicians pushing extreme left energy agendas, like the Green New Deal, that raise prices and destroy jobs. President Biden is systematically reversing all the progress we made through America First policies." (captainsambrown.com)
  • "It’s time to restore America First energy policies that unleash the full potential of American energy independence and strength." (captainsambrown.com)

  • "We have the natural resources to be a 21st century producer of American energy that brings jobs, energy security, and lower costs for consumers." (captainsambrown.com)
  • "It is quite a shame to see so many Republicans vote in favor of an NDAA that includes red-flag gun confiscation laws against members of our military and Veterans. The 2nd Amendment is at the heart of our foundation as America & this provision is an attack on people’s rights." (x.com)
  • "The Constitution unequivocally guarantees our right to bear arms. As a Veteran and as a U.S. Senator, I will always fight to protect the Second Amendment." (captainsambrown.com)
  • "Politicians have allowed bureaucrats to write healthcare laws, like Obamacare, that flood the marketplace with regulations — starving it of options — while driving up costs and lowering access to quality coverage. We need conservative leaders who understand that competition — not government — drives medical innovations that lead to better care and lower costs." (captainsambrown.com)
  • "Without burdensome government intervention, the marketplace and patients will be the driving force that solve the problems within our healthcare system. Not politicians! I am fully committed to making healthcare more affordable for everyone, while preserving coverage for preexisting conditions." (captainsambrown.com)

  • "As a Senator, I will immediately prioritize securing our borders and fighting back against the drug cartels. They will be stopped and brought to justice for their heinous actions. It’s not a matter of politics, it’s a matter of national security." (captainsambrown.com)
  • "It’s time the U.S. Senate finally takes action to stop the waves of illegal immigration and hold Biden accountable for his failure to secure our borders. I’ll demand more funding for border security and patrol technologies, finish the border wall, stand with law enforcement, and fix our broken immigration system to encourage legal immigration only. American sovereignty depends on full control of our borders. We must take this threat seriously and act swiftly." (captainsambrown.com)
  • "Under Joe Biden, our country is being overrun by violence and deadly drugs because of the cartels. It’s beyond a border crisis – it’s a national security disaster. Joe Biden, the D.C. establishment, and far left open border Democrats like Jacky Rosen are to blame. Under Joe Biden's disastrous administration, there have been nearly 10 million illegal border crossings and hundreds of dangerous criminals on the terrorist watch list have attempt to infiltrate our borders."

  • "Israel does not need conditions on military aid — it needs a President who will not hesitate to stand by our greatest ally in the Middle East! Joe Biden is giving a free pass to Hamas and Iran. Shameful!" (x.com)
  • "Russia’s war on Ukraine is an assault on freedom and peace worldwide. We are praying for Ukraine and her people as they fight back. Tyrants must be held accountable. It's past time to cut off Vladimir Putin from the rest of the world through the strictest of sanctions" (x.com)
  • "If you thought $16.7B on US midterm elections was a lot of spending, what are we up to in Ukraine spending before this next $37.7B request from Biden?!" (x.com)
  • "Since we are apparently hell-bent on sending Ukraine $100B+ of aid in less than a year…Can we at least mandate a complete audit of every dollar and piece of equipment they received?" (x.com)
  • "Like President Trump, I’ve experienced firsthand how Big Tech works to undermine and silence conservative voices. Big Tech companies routinely abuse their power through privacy invasions and the manipulation of public discourse through online censorship and suppression. We must vigorously enforce antitrust laws to hold these companies accountable and protect the rights of Americans to speak freely." (captainsambrown.com)
  • "The TikTok ban on government devices is warranted and overdue. This must be the first of many future actions to prioritize Americans’ data and voice over the relationships with lobbyists from other Big Tech firms. Thank you to the states that led the way on TikTok bans." (x.com)
