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.

  • "Abortion rights are women’s civil rights and the right to choose has been the law in this country since the landmark Supreme Court decision that upheld a woman's right to access reproductive health care as a case of equal protection under the law and privacy." (www.tonyzforcongress.org)
  • "The wealthy need to pay their fair share of federal income tax and I am skeptical that we should tax work more than we tax wealth in this country. The burden of taxes should be equal. A flat tax is out of the question because the burden and pain of taxation should be felt equally across all income levels and not be measured for fairness by dollars or even percentages."
