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.

  • "That means championing women's rights, [...]" (www.jamessinger.org)
  • "Abortions should be rare, safe, and accessible, especially in cases of incest, rape, when the health or life of the mother is in jeopardy, or when the fetus has birth defects that will severely affect the life chances of the baby. Ultimately, this is a personal decision and a right. Our government should be providing as many options as possible to prevent abortions and defend a woman's right to make the choice best for her." (www.jamessinger.org)
  • "Our economy has been made to help those with resources and punish those who don't. Middle-tiered jobs have been hollowed out and pushed people into 'bad jobs.'" (www.facebook.com)
  • "We need representatives in Congress to help hard-working families get their fair share, not create the conditions where the rich get richer off the hard work and labor of everyone else.[…] Instead, we need to create the conditions where hard work actually allows families in the working and middle classes to experience economic success and social mobility." (www.jamessinger.org)
  • "When tax plans help the wealthy and hurt the middle class and working families, we need to vote our representatives out!" (www.facebook.com)
  • "Most tax dollars go into defense. Why don't they mention about cutting "entitlements" to the military-industrial complex? #GOPDebate" (twitter.com)
  • "This is why campaign finance reform is crucial, else we maintain a status quo of elites who continue to oppress the common person." (twitter.com)
  • "Small government can't solve big problems. The market only solves certain kinds of problems if profit is involved. An empowered democracy that protects equality and freedom for all is how we solve problems! #utpol" (twitter.com)
  • "Social problems are big and complex. Using a limited government to solve them produces limited results. Why do we experience poverty, racism, sexism, and environmental degradation? Because our democracy has been limited. We want a #FullDemocracy not a limited government." (twitter.com)
  • "Remember: past cuts to the corporate tax rate in the U.S. didn't lead to economic prosperity or better incomes for the middle and working class. And it won't this time around either!" (twitter.com)
  • "I believe every child deserves a public education that helps them to think critically, and give them the tools to become engaged citizens and a upstanding members of our society. I will work to increase the salaries of teachers and raise the status of what it means to be an educator in our society." (www.jamessinger.org)
  • "I care about providing public higher education tuition free because learning is a right, no one should be a slave to debt from wanting to learn and make a better life, and that our personal lives are enriched from everyone coming together to pitch in their part." (twitter.com)
  • "That's why I am behind policies that reduce student debt and reduce or eliminate tuition and fees for students for at least the first two years." (www.jamessinger.org)
  • "I will fight for responsible development that builds on our greatest assets, not sell them away to the highest bidder, and utilize the science we have on global warming to create solutions before it's too late." (www.jamessinger.org)
  • "Invest in green energy infrastructure. Our planet needs it in order to maintain society as we know it. Global warming isn't up for debate. Solving environmental degradation is the pressing question of our time." (www.jamessinger.org)
  • "I'm running for Congress to protect Utah's landscapes from Big Oil and their destructive operations." (www.facebook.com)
  • "I will fight for responsible development that builds on our greatest assets, not sell them away to the highest bidder, and utilize the science we have on global warming to create solutions before it's too late." (www.jamessinger.org)
  • "Today, President Trump let down Americans and our neighbors across the world when he decided to pull the United States out of the Paaris Climate Agreement. These actions prove that he is unwilling to do the minimum necessary to protect the ecological safety of the planet, the people who inhabit it, and the gernarations who will come after us." (www.facebook.com)
  • "I was taught that we should pray as if everything depended on God, and then work hard as if everything depended on you. There's a place for prayers and condolences, and then we need to work our butts off for #GunControlNow! #PrayersANDPolicyChange" (www.facebook.com)
  • "To properly honor the many lives that have been needlessly cut short, we need to pass #gunreform laws that prevent gun violence, research our gun problem, and begin to rethink our cultural orientations around guns in our society" (www.facebook.com)
  • "One of the glaring problems of the Affordable Care Act is that it forced people to participate in a health care market and treated it as if it was a commodity that could be bought and sold. Well, health care isn't a commodity; it's a right." (www.jamessinger.org)
  • "Medicare for all makes sense. When we value each other's lives, we want to make sure everyone lives healthy productive lives. No one should have to worry about going bankrupt or taking on debt when they get sick." (www.jamessinger.org)
  • "And lest we forget (from Sep 2017)... Rep. John Curtis called to "build the wall" and "end sanctuary cities." He billed himself a "moderate" but it sounds like he went to the extreme end on that one." (twitter.com)
  • "With recent news of DACA's rescinding, we need your help. Call your representatives and be vocal about your support of the Dream Act, TPS and especially DACA." (www.facebook.com)
  • "Many of our families in Utah are fighting a terrible battle against opioids. Legalizing safely regulated medicinal cannabis protects families from opioid misuse. #utpol" (twitter.com)
  • "End the failed "War on Drugs" and legalize cannabis. This was a race-based, fear tactic that has demolished communities and shaped the way we look at each other for the worse. We need healing and proper scientific study of drugs which is difficult to impossible to do under the current policy regime." (www.jamessinger.org)
