In a 2026 campaign statement, Waters' spokesperson confirmed he is 'an individual-rights absolutist who believes every adult, gay or straight, has the absolute right to live and love exactly as they choose' — a position explicitly embracing same-sex relationships as equal to opposite-sex ones and rejecting the one-man-one-woman definition of marriage the rubric's biblical_marriage standard requires. Waters made the statement in the context of his campaign after controversy arose over a Facebook post about the race; his campaign's formal response affirmed his libertarian stance on LGBTQ relationships as a settled political principle.

Waters signed the Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) Taxpayer Protection Pledge, making a written commitment to oppose any and all income tax increases if elected to Congress. He explicitly supports a Balanced Budget Amendment to the U.S. Constitution via a Convention of States to 'force politicians on both sides of the aisle to live within their means,' noting that it costs America '$1,000,000,000,000 just to service the interest expense' on the national debt. He also supports the Fair Tax Act (HR 25) to close the IRS and replace the federal income tax — consistent with the rubric's anti-deficit/balanced-budget standard.
