Sceniak calls himself pro-life but opposes abortion bans, saying abortions should be 'safe,' 'private' and 'rare.' He backs lower taxes, the Rand Paul Penny Plan, a balanced budget and returning education control to the states. He has stated no positions on marriage, religious liberty or guns.
- Life: Calls himself pro-life and opposes the death penalty, but says bans do not work, that abortions should be 'safe' and 'private,' and that medical decisions belong between patient and doctor; he would reduce abortions through contraception access and economic measures.
- Family: No position found.
- Religious liberty: No position found.
- 2nd Amendment: No position found; asked about school gun violence at a 2024 forum, he proposed building security such as metal detectors rather than gun restrictions.
- Limited gov’t: Would return full control of education to the states, opposes federal 'one size fits all' mandates, supports a Social Security opt-out and keeping the Electoral College, and wants to end civil asset forfeiture; he also favors easier legal immigration and calls current ICE tactics unconstitutional.
- Fiscal: Wants lower taxes for individuals, an end to deficit spending and corporate tax breaks, a balanced budget, repeal of gas taxes and the Rand Paul Penny Plan of across-the-board budget cuts.
