Campaign websiteCawthorn's campaign website stated the following:Border SecurityFor decades, politicians talked while our immigration problem worsened. President Trump needs Congress to step up, once and for all, and end the illegal immigration crisis in America. In Congress, Madison will defend and empower our border security – 365 days a year. The days of allowing criminal aliens to wreak havoc on our communities are over. Madison will stand up and fight to secure our border, and put the needs of Florida families over illegal aliens.Foreign AidWashington should take care of Florida families before recklessly sending billions overseas. Madison will oppose any reckless foreign aid and put America first. The examples are endless of Washington bureaucrats caring more about the interests of foreign countries than they do of American citizens. In Congress, there will not be a stronger advocate for keeping tax dollars in America than Madison Cawthorn.2nd AmendmentIn Congress, there was no stronger advocate for the Second Amendment than Madison Cawthorn. Previously endorsed by the NRA, Madison is proud to hold an “A” rating from the NRA and will not give an inch when it comes to our Second Amendment Rights. Madison strongly believes without our Second Amendment, none of our other rights would stand. It’s been the check that America has had for 250 years.End Woke IdeologyThe radical left wants to rewrite America’s values, and they will stop at nothing to do just that. Madison will stand up to woke indoctrination in our schools, our military, and our culture – protecting faith, freedom, and Florida families.— Madison Cawthorn's campaign website (June 23, 2026)Note: This text is quoted verbatim from the original source.

Campaign website

Cawthorn's campaign website stated the following:

WHY I’M RUNNING

I’m running because our faith, our freedoms and our values are under assault from coastal elites and leftists like Nancy Pelosi and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

I am running because America is worth fighting for. I’m a fighter. I’ve overcome great adversity. I will be a strong voice for faith, family & freedom.

HEALTH CARE

I believe patients and doctors, certainly not government bureaucrats, should be in charge of health care decisions.

I’m for expanding choice and competition in our health care system.

I strongly oppose the Democrats’ plans to create socialized medicine.

IMMIGRATION

We lawfully admit over a million immigrants each year, which far exceeds other countries. But, our immigration system is in crisis. We need to secure our borders and we need the rule of law. I oppose the continued allowance of sanctuary cities.

TAXES

I oppose tax increases. We don’t need more taxes. Government takes enough of our hard-earned money. Each of our families live within their means, and we must demand the same of our government.

LIFE

I am pro-life. Each of us have an inalienable, God given right to life. The first responsibility of the government is to protect its citizens, including those who are pre-born.

DEBT

Our debt is unsustainable. Congress has run up the debt to the tune of $23 trillion and it is adding $1 trillion to our debt each year. That equates to $66,000 for every man, woman, and child.

REFORMING CONGRESS

Mark Meadows did not run to be a politician, he ran to reform congress. I am running to continue his great work. We need a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution and we need term limits for Members of Congress.

2ND AMENDMENT

As an owner of several firearms, I support our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.

NATIONAL SECURITY

The world is a dangerous place. President Reagan rightfully showed the world that America is safe when America’s defense is strong. Defending our national security is not optional.

VETERANS

America must keep the promises we have made to its veterans. They are our heroes and as such deserve our thanks and the best health care available.[25]
