right-of-center

Leaning politically conservative

Right-of-center describes political views that lean conservative but are not extreme—occupying the space between the moderate middle and the firmly right wing.

The term positions someone on the traditional left-right political spectrum: a right-of-center candidate, right-of-center economic policies.

It often implies pragmatic conservatism rather than ideological rigidity.
