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 do not support a national abortion ban – period. Don’t believe the lies you will hear. What I am wholeheartedly against are abortions in the third trimester only. Surveys show 80% of Americans agree with me on this stance." (www.lipetriforcongress.com)
  • "I stand with women on this issue and will fight to ensure that all women have access to the treatment and care they need and deserve. I also stand with the 80% of Americans who oppose abortions in the final three months outside of cases of rape, incest, and the clearly defined health of the mother. This is common sense."

  • "As a New York State Assemblyman, I did not vote to codify Roe v. Wade into state law because it allowed provisions for the use of late-term abortions in the final three months of a pregnancy and language used in the bill pertaining to the "health" of the mother was vague and undefined."

  • "Between 2017 and 2022, our region alone lost over 100,000 residents. Most because of the cost-of-living crisis. Thankfully, we can take immediate action that would help. Repealing the SALT tax cap for one. I’ll use all my powers and capabilities as your congressman to get this done. It goes beyond SALT though." (www.lipetriforcongress.com)
  • "Had a fun time walking Nassau Shores in Massapequa speaking to residents about my plans to lower taxes, eradicate MS-13 and fight the drug epidemic in our community! Lots of support! I look forward to seeing the people make their voice heard on Election Day!" (x.com)

  • "I will always Back the Blue. If I see a Police Officer, I immediately thank them and their family for their service and sacrifice. In Congress, I will double down on this support and make sure that our hometown is not just safe, but a thriving place to live, work, and raise a family." (www.lipetriforcongress.com)
  • "The men and women of law enforcement know where I stand. As an Assemblyman, during the height of the ‘Defund the Police’ movement, I was the only elected official on Long Island who voted against ALL anti-police laws." (www.lipetriforcongress.com)

  • "As far as I’m concerned, the Green New Deal, banning gas stoves and red meat, mandating all Americans to buy electric cars by an arbitrary year when we all know the power grid can’t support it, and all the other unrealistic and misguided policies being pushed by climate activists are not even worth discussing. I’m here to find solutions to the problems we have right here in the 3rd Congressional District – real tangible issues that impact our quality of life." (www.lipetriforcongress.com)

  • "In Congress, I will support H.R. 2 – a plan that keeps American safe. I will work to expand and modernize legal pathways for merit-based immigration so the best and brightest can pursue their own American Dream, and demand that only true asylum cases are heard on the spot, not seven years later. We will have physical barriers at all critical points along the border, fully fund biometric systems, and have tighter controls and oversight on our visa process." (www.lipetriforcongress.com)

This is the work ICE does. These Agents keep America safe. I fully support them in their efforts." (www.lipetriforcongress.com)
