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 2020.
- "The government should not be in the business of telling women and couples when to start their families. We should make sure every woman has access to safe, legal services in a healthcare setting that is equipped, licensed, and properly trained to provide it, and support their right to receive it unencumbered." (votesmart.org)
- "Women, not the government, should decide for themselves when they want to be sexually active or get pregnant." (www.bigganforcongress.com)
- "The Trump administration slashed rates for businesses and wealthy individuals. Now the deficit is ballooning. It is essential that we fix the rates so that they are fair to everyone and we can still pay our bills." (www.bigganforcongress.com)
- "We can make things simpler and fairer by removing deductions and loopholes, and lowering rates for both individuals and businesses, like we did in 1986 when "Tip" O'Neill, Bill Bradley, and Ronald Reagan achieved the last major reform of the US tax code." (votesmart.org)
- "There are many options that I support, from adding a traditional public option that increases competition, to Medicare for All, and Medicare for America." (www.bigganforcongress.com)
- "we must work with state legislators to make sure Medicaid is expanded so all Texans can get the care they need." (votesmart.org)
- "We need to allow Americans the option to buy into Medicare starting at age 50. Not only does this provide an affordable option for these Americans, it also makes the insurance pool in the public sector younger and healthier, likely leading to lower costs and premiums." (votesmart.org)

- "Clean renewable energy is not only necessary to combat climate change, it is a fast-growing industry that provides lots of job opportunities and economic growth. We should be using wind, solar, hydroelectric, tidal, next generation nuclear, geothermal, natural gas, and biofuels. The ratios will vary depending on what is available in each region."

- "We need to enforce existing laws and close loopholes that are being used to sneak around them. For example, the rules overseeing automatic weapons are well-established, but modifications that convert semiautomatic weapons to automatic weapons are legal. Loopholes such as this violate the spirit of the law and endanger lives. They must be closed." (votesmart.org)

We have already invested so much time, effort, and money into these children, it is beneficial to both them and us to allow them to continue being contributing members of society." (votesmart.org)
- "Passage of the DREAM Act is long overdue. These children have only ever known the United States as their home. We have invested so much in them and it is time to provide them with a path to citizenship so that they can be productive members of society without living in constant fear."
