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.

  • "Trump's proposed domestic gag rule is an attack on women & reproductive rights. 18,000 Granite Staters rely on Title X funding for essential health care services like birth control & cancer screenings. We must #ProtectTitleX. #nhpolitics" (www.facebook.com)
  • "We need to stand up to this administration and ensure that healthcare & women's rights aren't compromised. #NoGagRule" (www.facebook.com)
  • "When I was in the Marine Corps, I swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, and I am deeply concerned about what Justice Kennedy’s retirement will mean for women’s reproductive rights and the basic privacy rights of all Americans. President Trump and the Republicans in Congress will use this opportunity to appoint a Supreme Court Justice who will chip away at our basic privacy rights, trample on your individual freedoms, and could potentially have the power to overturn Roe v. Wade, which will endanger health care for millions of women across the country." (www.facebook.com)

  • "Higher education needs to be affordable. I was fortunate enough to earn a ROTC scholarship to pay for college, but that isn't the pathway for everyone. We need to make sure that affordable, quality higher education is possible for everyone." (www.facebook.com)
  • Despite exhaustive research, Vote Smart was unable to find information about this candidate's position.
  • "He has hindered the EPA’s ability to effectively protect our environment and to make sure our children have clean drinking water. The President needs to appoint leaders with integrity who recognize that service is a privilege and an incredible responsibility. And the EPA needs a leader who will treat climate change as the national security priority that it is." (www.facebook.com)
  • "One year ago today President Trump made the dangerous & irresponsible decision to withdraw America from the #ParisAgreement-- abandoning our Allies, weakening our international standing & ignoring one of the most pressing issues of our time." (www.facebook.com)
  • "This latest move by President Trump to roll back environmental protections endangers our oceans & our seacoast communities. We must protect the ocean & our planet." (www.facebook.com)
  • "Mass shootings happen far too frequently in our country and it’s time Congress passed common sense gun legislation such as banning assault weapons, passing universal background checks, and banning bump stocks to ensure the safety of our children and the American people." (www.facebook.com)
  • "Proud to be the first candidate to take the No NRA Money Pledge in NH1. I will never take money from the NRA & I will fight every attempt to make our communities, our families, and our children more vulnerable to gun violence. #nh01 #nhpolitics #NoNRAMoney" (www.facebook.com)
  • "There have been 5,877 deaths from gun violence so far this year. This is heartbreaking & unacceptable. It's #NationalGunViolenceAwarenessDay, and I'll #wearorange and be at the march today with Moms Demand Action" (www.facebook.com)
  • "We often forget what it really means to prepare for an active shooter. Very insightful conversation with the Newington Dems on Monday about a variety of issues, particularly gun violence & how important it is for Veterans to lead on gun reform" (www.facebook.com)
  • "The Trump administration's attempt to go after ordinary Americans with pre-existing conditions, including seniors, and the sick is alarming and un-American. This is not what our country stands for and not what I fought for while I was in the Marines. America was founded on the promise that everyone – regardless of income, health, race, gender, or background, has access to the same basic rights. If elected to Congress, I will stand up to fight for the right of every Granite Stater and every American to have access to affordable health care and protect people with pre-existing conditions" (www.facebook.com)
  • "Immigration isn't just a national issue, it affects our state & our borders. All eyes are on the House as it debates comprehensive immigration reform next week." (www.facebook.com)
  • "It is a hallmark of our country that we open our arms to people in need of safety- regardless of where they come from. We are a nation of immigrants & refugees, and any president who turns their back on this promise forgets the core of who we are as Americans." (www.facebook.com)
