Issue Positions
For Presidential and Congressional candidates who refuse to provide voters with their positions, Vote Smart has researched their public records to determine their likely responses. These issue positions are from 2014.
- "Marshall does not believe in and will not support any government role to dictate the outcome of any medical decision between a woman and her doctor, or to decide which citizens are more or less worthy, or deserving of rights and benefits based on their personal lifestyles, preferences or orientation. " (votesmart.org)
- "Marshall is committed to bringing people together across party lines to get our country back on track. "Funding has never been Americas problem; Poor Leadership has". Marshall will devote his energy to our our next generation and not just to the next election." (votesmart.org)

- "Marshall will work with the EPA and the Justice department to ensure States are not violating the public trust and possibly violating federal law by polluting our communities." (votesmart.org)
- "Gun Control:With the exception of certain automatic weapons and other specific weapons of war, the Federal Government should refrain from legislating gun control in America.I believe it is the constitutional right of any law abiding U.S. citizen to own and privately hold personal weapons in his/her home, property and, in some cases, on his/her person.Any gun control legislation, excepting aforementioned, should be the sole domain of the individual States, and then, within the limitations and restrictions as provided in the US Constitution which guarantees the individual right to bear arms." (votesmart.org)
- "Social Security contributed greatly to reducing poverty in America and protecting Social Security, Medicare and The Affordable Care Act will be one of his top priorities." (votesmart.org)
- "There are an estimated eleven to thirteen million Illegal aliens living in the United States. The greatest majority of the illegal aliens in America today are Mexican citizens who arrived from across our border with Mexico. Some arrived yesterday, and many decades ago at the open invitation of American agricultural interest and with our governments passive consent.Some undocumented people, having arrived decades ago, have immediate relatives (children, grandchildren, spouses, etc.) who are natural born U.S. Citizens. Although now politically popular, the notion that we can send all those millions of people packing is not only unrealistic, it is an impossible task. In this case, practicality and in deference to the millions of US citizens who would be adversely effected, we must find an accommodation, a middle ground, in the effort to resolve this issue." (votesmart.org)
- "I am addressing the "Power of the State here". No married couple in the United States, who were married in any of the fifty states, were required to obtain the "Federal" Governments permission to be married. The Individual States license and validate marriage. It is an American tradition founded in law and social norms.The Federal government has no business allowing or preventing any part of a marriage contract. The individual States should retain the authority over legislation regarding marriage licensing.No federal law should exist regarding the validation or definition of marriage. It is and should remain a State issue. Where there may be a "Civil Rights" issue involved, then it is the responsibility of the federal government to consider the issue in the parameters of civil rights legislation which would be binding on the States and then to codify that into law."
