Authoritarian Right, though more of a moderate, finding his home further on the Right end. When it comes to his stances on most economics, he is a firm Capitalist. He wants more charter schools, and runs on a platform of less taxes, voting for the Trump Tax cuts. He is more Authoritarian, as he wants to continue the US' role as an Imperialist power, and is very fond of law enforcement, putting him in the middle of the Quadrant when it comes to Authoritarianism/Libratarianism. Thus, on the flat line spectrum, they would be considered to be a Conservative.

# data[].attributes.body
Libertarian Right, as even though he champions Single Payer Healthcare, he often talks about "fiscal responsibility," making it a cornerstone of his campaign. He is also fore a lot more of a conversation, and easing tensions between the GOP and the Democrats, making him more Libertarian, as opposed to those who would call for more direct action. Thus, on the flat line spectrum, Phillips would be a Liberal.

NO ID LAWS Show up to Vote + 1 Choice id (Driver’s license, Passport, even vouching works) 20 Days living in MN. Means that more people can show up and vote, and usually do.

# data[].attributes.body
Phillips' adds tend to be a lot less on the nose direct, and tend to mock Erik Paulsen more indirectly.

# data[].attributes.body
This add by Paulsen tends to mirror his image of being a "different type of Republican." He tries to break away from Trump in this ad, and mentions his disagreements with Trump on the BWCAW mining issue.
