| Collapse all
- The campaign's healthcare initiative focuses on expanding access to quality, affordable care while improving accountability and outcomes. Led by an award-winning healthcare executive with 20 years of experience, the campaign prioritizes protecting emergency and rural healthcare services, strengthening primary and preventive care, and reducing costs by addressing waste, fraud, and administrative inefficiencies. The initiative emphasizes patient-centered decision-making, transparency in healthcare pricing, targeting tax relief for small businesses that provide health insurance and for individuals paying their healthcare premiums, and polies that support medical professionals while maintaining fiscal responsibility and individual care
- I support limited, disciplined approach to federal infrastructure investment. Rather than broad spending or earmark-style requests, the focus is on a narrow set of public interests' projects such as flood control, transportation safety, emergency services, water systems, and rural emergency hospital infrastructure. Any supported projects should be publicly owned, locally supported, fully transparent, and one-time in nature. Most proposals should be a small number of critical projects advanced to protect lives, property, and essential services
- I support President Trump's affordability agenda, which emphasizes lowering costs for working families through reduced taxes, regulatory reform, domestic energy production, and supply-side economic growth. Addressing the national debt-now exceeding $38 trillion-requires disciplined budgeting, pro-growth policies that expand the tax base, and a commitment to curbing wasteful federal spending. I believe affordability and fiscal responsibility must pursued together, pairing economic growth with long-term structural reforms to stabilize debt and protect future generations.
This means safeguarding women and children, strengthening healthcare access and emergency services-especially in rural and underserved communities-and ensuring taxpayer dollars are spent transparently and effectively. I am particularly focusing on policies that protect women's safety and fairness, preserve access to life-saving care, and restoring integrity to government systems that too often tolerate waste, fraud, and abuse.

Campaign website
Sinclair's campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
ECONOMY / JOBS / TAXES Kyle will keep taxes LOW so small businesses can grow and create new jobs. We need to reform our tax system so that it’s fairer and simpler to understand for everyone – Taxpayers deserve to keep more of their hard-earned money. Kyle will work to bring companies and jobs back to America and the San Antonio area. Kyle will use his almost two decades of leading companies to get our budget balanced again. BORDERS / IMMIGRATION Joaquin Castro, a major proponent of Open Borders, Illegal Immigration, and Sanctuary Cities, is one of the main culprits behind our broken immigration system. Castro has lost touch with the Latino community, the vast majority of which oppose illegal immigration and are tired of skyrocketing crime and rampant drug use, which is made worse by our Open Border. Kyle knows we are a Nation of legal immigration, but he also knows we are a Nation of law and order, so securing the broken border will be one of his highest priorities. NATIONAL SECURITY / CRIME The world is a dangerous place, and our Nation faces enemies that threaten our safety and security. First, we must ensure that our Boarder Patrol, Police Departments, and Military have all the necessary resources and technology to protect our freedoms on the border, in our cities, and on the battlefield. Joaquin Castro wants to Defund the Police and replace them with Social Workers. This is not the America we grew up in, and unless we make changes in Congress, the things we value will be lost forever. HEALTH CARE Kyle is a proven leader in health care, and with health care costs rising and a growing aging population, he knows that we need to continue to look for creative ideas that rely on the marketplace, NOT the government, to improve the quality of health care and empower individuals in their health decisions. Kyle does not believe government has the right to dictate which doctor we see or what level of care we receive. When it comes to health care mandates and privacy, Kyle, unlike his opponent, does NOT believe in Mask Mandates or Vaccine Passports. STATE OF ISRAEL I stand with Israel. The United States should be unequivocal about our commitment and support for our closest and most important ally in the Middle East, Israel. Americans should stand shoulder-to-shoulder in supporting Israel’s right to defend itself. EDUCATION We need to create the next generation of leaders by focusing on education, particularly STEM programs across the country. While Joaquin Castro supports indoctrinating our children with Critical Race Theory (CRT), we continue to fall behind internationally. Kyle will stand up to CRT and he will OPPOSE Teachers Unions, because he believes you should be able to use your tax dollars to send your kids to the school of your choice. ENERGY INDEPENDENCE Kyle is for Energy Independence with sustainable Oil and Natural Gas and does not support being dependent on Foreign Energy. He also believes in renewal energy when it become sustainable as an addition to Oil and Natural Gas. Locally, the Winter Freeze in February 2021 showed that ERCOT and CPS were not prepared causing many to needlessly suffer and die. Joaquin Castro, a wind and solar advocate (both of which are unreliable at this point), has said and done nothing to address this. Kyle will bring oversight and leadership, helping ensure that the energy system we all pay for is there and working when we need it most. GUN RIGHTS Kyle is a Veteran and supports the 2nd Amendment as a Constitutional Right that shall not be infringed. Kyle will fight to protect this freedom. Joaquin Castro is a radical gun control advocate who supports and has campaigned alongside Beto O’Rourke, who also wants to confiscate our guns and said, “Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47.” CONSTITUTION AND INDIVIDUAL FREEDOMS Kyle believes as an American Citizen in this great country you have individual freedoms protected under the constitution of the United States. He will fight to STOP governmental overreach, which more and more is suppressing Individual Rights. Joaquin Castro is a leader in the Democrats’ power grab and he is part of the ‘Cancel Culture’ caucus, which seeks to put limits on our speech, our actions, and our way of life. Kyle knows we must stand up to these forces or we risk losing our Individual Freedoms.[2] |
