Oregon Congressional Election 2020 Political Courage Test
| Yes | In order to balance the budget, do you support an income tax increase on any tax bracket? | ||
| Yes | Do you support expanding federal funding to support entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare? | ||
| I support a wealth tax on the richest .01 of Americans in order to reduce the harmful levels of wealth inequality in our country. | |||
| Yes | Do you support the regulation of indirect campaign contributions from corporations and unions? | ||

| Yes | Do you support providing financial relief to businesses AND/OR corporations negatively impacted by the state of national emergency for COVID-19? | ||
| Small businesses and family farms, Yes. Large corporations looking for bailouts, No. My COVID priorities are to 1. Slow the virus and save lives 2. Eradicate the virus 3. Recover the economy. In order to slow the virus' spread and eradicate it, we must provide people the means to stay home. This is why I support monthly emergency universal basic income for the duration of the crisis, universal health care, rent/mortgage relief, and the Essential Workers Bill of Rights. | |||
| Yes | Do you support government funding for the development of renewable energy (e.g. solar, wind, geo-thermal)? | ||
| Yes | Do you support the federal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions? | ||
| No | Do you support repealing the 2010 Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare")? | ||
| Yes | Do you support requiring businesses to provide paid medical leave during public health crises, such as COVID-19? | ||
| I support a Medicare for All, single payer healthcare program. | |||
| No | Do you support the construction of a wall along the Mexican border? | ||
| No | Do you support requiring immigrants who are unlawfully present to return to their country of origin before they are eligible for citizenship? | ||
| No | Should the United States use military force to prevent governments hostile to the U.S. from possessing a weapon of mass destruction (for example: nuclear, biological, chemical)? | ||
| Yes | Do you support reducing military intervention in Middle East conflicts? | ||
| I did not support the Iraq War. I support ending the US presence in Iraq and Afghanistan in an orderly manner. | |||
| No | Do you generally support removing barriers to international trade (for example: tariffs, quotas, etc.)? | ||
| Environmental and labor protections are often deemed "barriers to trade," and so I do not support removing them. | |||
| I support a transition towards 100% clean and renewable energy that creates millions of family wage jobs and ensures a just transition for the workers and communities that rely on fossil fuels today. Financing this program would be achieved in part by ending US government subsidies to the fossil fuel industry. I support Medicare for All single payer health care system that guarantees care to everyone. This program would ultimately save $500 Billion per year in administrative costs. I support early childhood education and childcare, to be financed with a wealth tax. |
