  • "Chris is pro-choice, though he doesn't condone the use of abortions as a means of birth control. He understands that it is not the government's decision to make. Sidenote - a luxury tax on tampons is ridiculous. He is against the de-funding of Planned Parenthood, a worthy cause providing education, screening and birth control to many families; men and women alike." (www.cataldoforcongress.com)

  • "Federal Common Core standards have been detrimental, because of the variation of necessary education across the nation. We need to trust in our teachers. They have the education and real life experience to repair where our officials have failed." (www.cataldoforcongress.com)

  • "Background checks, safety courses, and police chiefs verifying targets prior to licensure are necessary nationwide precautions. Those on the Terror Watch or No Fly lists, with due process, shouldn’t be able to purchase a firearm." (onyourballot.vote411.org)
  • "Chris supports reforming OBAMACARE. People don’t have health insurance because they either can’t afford it on their own or their place of employment doesn’t offer health care. This practice of fining the people who can not afford outrageous health insurance bills will not solve the problem and must end." (www.cataldoforcongress.com)
  • "We will not break up families, rip mothers and fathers from their children. We will not support mass deportation. But everyone has to pay their fair share. Illegal immigrants need a clear path to citizenship, one that is realistic and beneficial for both immigrants and America." (www.cataldoforcongress.com)
