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 2020.
- "I believe life begins at conception, that innocent life deserves protection, including the unborn. I will work to end late-term abortions and seek to do all in my power to reduce the number of abortions in the United States. I am 100% Pro-LIFE. I also believe we have an obligation to ultimately reduce the number of abortion events across the board! I think we can all agree that this is a worthwhile goal. As a senator, I would approach this by COMBINING the HEARTS." (copetn2020.com)

- "*Aid for small businesses so they can rebuild and rehire." (copetn2020.com)
- "State governments are partners in the solution, and the loss of tax revenue has also impacted their ability to serve the public and deliver essential services. The next bill passed by Congress must replenish their depleted unemployment funds, coffers drained by skyrocketing medical bills and the demands placed on first responders. If it becomes clear that significant numbers of unemployed Americans are having difficulty finding work, going forward we should put them to work on infrastructure projects that serve the public good, helps put our economy back on track and provide jobs to those who need them."

- "The 2nd Amendment SHALL NOT be INFRINGED UPON, PERIOD! Those three times I just said it crossed the infinity line of how many times it has been said, written, etched, and spilled blood for and there will still be confusion. So Bless your heart if you still have questions where I stand! Unfortunately, so many elected Republican officials claim to be supportive of the 2nd just to end up being a RINO (thatâs a Republican In Name Only) when it comes to taking a stance. Thatâs why there are so many sanctuary locations in a state like Tennessee where one would think that there would be no issues. Whereâs the Spine in that?" (copetn2020.com)

- "ur electoral representation is being decreased this very year to sanctuary states. We need to BUILD THE WALL! Support ICE, and End Sanctuary cities and states." (copetn2020.com)
- "*No nation can survive absent secure borders. *No sovereign nation can remain sovereign absent secure borders. *No nation can protect the economic or physical health of its people absent secure borders. *No nation should allow its cities or states to undermine federal law by proclaiming themselves a sanctuary for those who broke our immigration laws to be here. Now Demoncrats are passing a bill in the House to aid illegals with your tax dollars even before Tennesseans get a dime. Wake up AMERICA! The OPEN Border policies are watering down our rights and freedoms by allowing more illegal immigrant dependents to illegally enter our country." (copetn2020.com)
