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 2024.
- "I fully support a womanâs right to choose and will defend this right as a member of Congress, especially in a post-Roe world. I also pledge to fight for pay equity across all genders and recognition for women and people engaging in the informal economy and unpaid labor." (stevedunwoodyforcongress.com)
- "Our families and people are the bedrock of our nation. In Congress, I will work to ensure we support them by raising the minimum wage to a living one, renewing the earned income tax credit, paid childcare and leave, supporting maternal health, and boosting retirement and Social Security." (stevedunwoodyforcongress.com)
- "The top 1% own 37% of the wealth. This is unsustainable. We must work to close tax loopholes for the 1% and large corporations that pay 0 in taxes while lowering taxes for working families, single-income earners, and small businesses. This is in addition to fixing the gender and racial pay gap. We must also make it easier for workers to collectively bargain for higher pay and working conditions by forming unions without fear of reprisal or "union-busting tactics"."

- "We shouldnât have to choose between public safety and ensuring police are accountable. We can ensure we are reinvesting in communities, youth, and mental health services and non-lethal responses to keep our communities safe, while ensuring police officers can focus on violent crime and be accountable. As a member of Congress, I will support the George Floyd Policing Act, provide more support for recruitment, re-training, community relations and removing qualified immunity, because no one is above the law."

(stevedunwoodyforcongress.com)

I will work for HUD programs to build more medium, low, and fixed-income housing, keep costs low for renters (including me) and help first-time homebuyers with their first downpayment. I will champion universal basic income as a way to help struggling renters and homeowners stay in their homes as well as provide support for mental health and drug treatment services to help the unhoused get off the streets."
