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 2018.

  • "Women should have access to quality reproductive healthcare." (peacockforcongress.com)
  • "For my friends fighting with me for women’s rights and reproductive freedom, I’ve responded to the National Pro-Life Alliance like this: "You are not pro preschool, education, healthcare or tuition-free college. You’re really pro-fetus and anti-women." (twitter.com)
  • "$1.5 trillion in deficit for tax cuts for wealthy or $1.5 trillion to wipe out student loan debt? That's rhetorical. How much would your yearly income increase? Me? $3,600. Wow. GOP doesn't care. I do #Peacock4Congress #CA42 #ShesWithMe" (twitter.com)
  • "The US spends more in defense than next six countries combined and all 6 are allies. Cutting social programs for military not an answer" (twitter.com)
  • "You’re right! He spends most of his time at big dollar fundraisers out of district. No more pay to play in #CA42. Then campaign finance reform to get corp $$ out completely then everyone has to actually talk to and work for voters and constituents. #Peacock4Congress" (twitter.com)
  • "Hope you're making retirement plans. Our district deserves jobs, infrastructure, education, opportunity, law enforcement, public services, traffic easement and in 25 years, you've given us none of that. However, you've gotten mighty rich off our district. Out in 2018." (twitter.com)
  • "Thanks to #GOPTaxScam major corporations are laying off thousands of workers because Repubs sold out middle and working class. That’s why Corp tax breaks should come with strings: hiring workers, providing benefits, innovating. #PeacockforCongress #CA42 #ShesWithMe" (twitter.com)
  • "K-12 education should not be for-profit. Children in all communities, especially low-income, must be given equitable opportunity to learn and to succeed whether their parents can afford to provide them an education or not. Betsy DeVos is unqualified to lead the Department of Education and everything must be done to prevent her from destroying our public schools. Her plans do not protect low-income students who do not have access to private schools; do not guarantee the rights of special education and special needs students under IDEA 2004; do not hold for-profit and charter schools accountable to standards in education or in teacher preparation; do not safeguard low-income communities from the drain on education when charter schools are allowed to take much-needed state funding away from community public schools; do not guarantee a lack of discrimination in enrollment or in hiring." (peacockforcongress.com)
  • "America should be leading the fight against climate change. Richard Nixon, a Republican, founded the Environmental Protection Agency in 1970, and it paved the way for other countries to pass crucial environmental protection laws. 97% of climate scientists and our own military leaders agree that climate change is happening right now. This must be dealt with by establishing real programs that protect the environment, by increasing clean energy production, and by guaranteeing we are leaving the planet better than we found it for future generations and their right to drink clean water and to breathe clean air." (peacockforcongress.com)
  • "House Republicans declare carbon tax would hurt economy despite $1.5 trillion in tax cuts to fossil fuel industry and other corps. I signed @350 pledge and am committed to battling climate change with science NOW. I'll repeal those cuts, too. " (twitter.com)
  • "During the assault weapons ban that began in 1994, there was a dramatic decrease in the number of deaths in mass shootings. When Congress refused to renew the ban in 2004, the number of deaths dramatically increased, even though there were only 7 more incidents. Even gun owners agree on an assault weapons ban. So do I. As a parent and public school teacher who routinely practices active shooter drills, I believe we have a moral obligation to cherish the lives of our children more than we cherish our right to bear arms. Ban assault weapons; ban sales to those with serious mental illness; universal background checks; national gun registry database; standardized waiting periods; gun ownership insurance which includes annual safety training, physicals, and mental health screenings; a ban on sales to those on the no-fly or watch lists. These common-sense laws cross party lines and help to protect our children and our communities from the tragedy of mass shootings. " (peacockforcongress.com)
  • "We shouldn't be repealing the Affordable Care Act. We should be fighting for single payer." (www.facebook.com)
  • "Billions of dollars on a wall does not make sense, and I won't allow it." (www.facebook.com)
  • "Our immigration system needs an overhaul to protect those who work hard and have not committed a criminal offense. We must focus on a path to citizenship. Let's offer real and humane solutions." (www.facebook.com)
  • "Hey @TheJusticeDept I'm a member of the #ReeferSanity army & I demand you start the process to legalize marijuana! I'm @peacock4ca42 and I support giving our veterans access to cannabis for #PTSD. Stop allowing them to suffer unnecessarily. #CA42 #ShesWithMe" (twitter.com)
  • Despite exhaustive research, Vote Smart was unable to find information about this candidate's position.
  • "If the mission was to spend one night dropping air strikes, then sure. If it was to end civil war in Syria, force #AssadRegime to stop murdering civilians, and help millions of refugees rebuild their lives, then no. Not at all. #Peacock4Congress #CA42 #ShesWithMe" (twitter.com)
