Criminal justice

22 actions

Healthcare

Immigration

18 actions

Gill consistently opposes expansions of immigrant protections and legal status while supporting measures that increase enforcement, deportation mechanisms, and border security restrictions, reflecting an ideological commitment to restrictive immigration policy.

National security and foreign policy

Civil rights and liberties

18 actions

Gill demonstrates strong support for civil rights and liberties through consistent backing of protections against political violence, religious freedom safeguards, Native American cultural sovereignty, consumer privacy rights, and military grave marker corrections, while also supporting Second Amendment protections as foundational to individual liberty.

Social policy

12 actions

Gill demonstrates a pro-social policy orientation centered on expanding direct government benefits and support for veterans, pregnant individuals, and affordable housing, while opposing regulatory restrictions and procedural streamlining measures that constrain government intervention or redefine benefit structures.

Technology and data

17 actions

Gill demonstrates strong support for technology advancement through regulatory frameworks that balance innovation with oversight, particularly favoring government regulation of digital assets and financial technologies, infrastructure acceleration, cybersecurity standards, and export controls on sensitive technologies, while opposing measures that expand Federal Reserve digital currency capabilities or delegate technology decisions to independent agencies.
