Where they stand

In their own words, from their campaign website, summarised in plain English.

Economy and cost of living

Ollivant says he wants to lower the cost of living, cut red tape for small businesses and bring manufacturing back to the U.S. by reducing regulation and expanding energy and workforce training. On housing, he says the answer is more supply through less regulation and federal land, not subsidies.

“Giving subsidies, while tempting, will not fix the core problem of insufficient supply.”

Taxes and government spending

Ollivant says he wants to ease the tax burden on families and businesses by cutting inefficiencies, reviewing outdated programs and eliminating ineffective or duplicative ones. He says this is about doing better with less, not cutting for its own sake.

“It’s not about cutting for the sake of cutting—it’s about doing better with less”

Energy and climate

Ollivant says he supports an all-of-the-above approach centered on small modular nuclear reactors and natural gas, plus wind, rooftop solar, hydropower and carbon capture. He also wants a North American energy strategy and says data center growth needs community buy-in and protection of the Rappahannock River.

“I support a common sense all-of-the-above approach, with small modular nuclear reactors and natural gas at the center.”
Accurate?

Guns

Ollivant says he will defend the right to keep and bear arms. He supports national concealed carry reciprocity and opposes requiring a government permit to buy a firearm.

“I support national concealed carry reciprocity so that law-abiding gun owners are not treated as criminals when they cross a state line.”
Accurate?

Foreign policy and defense

Ollivant says he backs a "Peace through Strength" foreign policy that defends borders, increases global stability and protects U.S. interests. He also wants to rebuild U.S. manufacturing so the country does not depend on foreign supply chains, and to reform veterans' care.

““Peace through Strength” is not just a campaign slogan”

Elections and ethics in government

Ollivant says he would push for stronger congressional oversight, more transparency in federal spending, protections for whistleblowers and elimination of ineffective or duplicative programs. He says no party or public official should be above scrutiny.

“No party or public official should be above scrutiny.”

Money

From FEC filings for 2025–26. Outside spending is money a group spends on its own about a candidate — TV and online ads, mail, canvassing. It is not a donation to the campaign, and the candidate does not control it. Supporting means it was spent to help that candidate win; Opposing means it was spent to defeat them, usually on attack ads. Groups report it within 24 or 48 hours as the election nears. Raised is the campaign's own fundraising, as of its latest quarterly report. Largest donors come from each outside spender's own FEC receipts, with each donor's share of its itemized receipts; donors under $100,000 are not named. People are shown with the employer and occupation they reported. A donor that is itself a political committee is shown with its own largest donors. Companies and nonprofits don't report their funders to the FEC, so the trail ends there, and the page says so.
