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 2018.

  • "Prioritize access to safe, legal, and affordable reproductive health care, I will fight to protect the reproductive rights of all women." (voteschiller.com)
  • "Republicans have pursued a narrow ideological agenda that has hurt women’s health programs in Ohio. It has defunded programs for women’s health. It rolled back the rule requiring employers to provide contraceptive coverage, which had sharply reduced birth rates among teenagers. It has not invested sufficiently in prenatal care, postnatal care, infant mortality programs, mammograms and other women’s health screenings" (voteschiller.com)
  • "The clearest breakdown yet on the tax cut scam. We need real tax reform that puts money in the pockets of working people. NOT slashing Medicare and SS." (twitter.com)

An OSU study found the program was an economic success, spurring $160 million in annual GDP growth and creating over 3,200 jobs.

The ACA has allowed more than 665,000 Ohioans to gain coverage, and more than 80,000 Ohioans under the age of 26 have been able to remain on their parents’ healthcare plans. Yet politicians in D.C. are currently seeking to strip away the protections Ohio families rely on. We must fight to keep our healthcare and help Ohioans manage coverage gaps." (voteschiller.com)
