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.

  • "If you say you want to end abortions, but you oppose funding Planned Parenthood and universal sex ed, your goal isn't actually ending abortions, it's controlling women. "Pro-life" would actually consist of working to protect both the women and the children, safely and sanely." (twitter.com)
  • "I support a woman’s right to choose all things related to her own medical care, start to finish." (chrisroweforcongress.com)
  • "Let's be clear on one thing: higher marginal tax rates will change NOTHING for the average taxpayer. They just shift more of the burden to the people who've reaped the most benefits." (twitter.com)
  • "Taxes, I support higher marginal rates to afford the expanded government programs I support." (twitter.com)
  • "The bill comes due: we cut taxes for the ultra rich last year, by over $1T. This year, Trump proposed nearly $1T in cuts to government funded medical programs. This is not a coincidence, it was the expected and desired result when Trump decided to give more money to the rich. (twitter.com)
  • "The bill comes due: we cut taxes for the ultra rich last year, by over $1T. This year, Trump proposed nearly $1T in cuts to government funded medical programs. This is not a coincidence, it was the expected and desired result when Trump decided to give more money to the rich." (twitter.com)
  • "This is Trump, proposing cuts to Medicare and Medicaid. Along with the receipts from just hours before, when he said "only Democrats would do that." If you value the benefits you've paid into your entire lives, vote blue. History shows Rs bad for the poor & for social programs." (twitter.com)
  • "Today's PSA: there is still a proposed budget that will absolutely GUT Medicare, Medicaid, and SS programs, in favor of further bloated military spending and covering a >$1T tax cut to the rich. Supported by many sitting GOP members, and harmful to anyone on those programs." (twitter.com)
  • " We’re one of the wealthiest countries in the world, and it’s completely unacceptable how easy it is for a family to go bankrupt from one accident due to exorbitant medical costs. We can make single payer coverage for ALL Americans a reality, just as it is in every other developed nation, and I will work to do exactly that." (chrisroweforcongress.com)
  • "Campaign finance is actually something I've put a lot of time into exploring. I've been in talks with a few different advocacy groups on the proper way to handle something that massive, but the clear starting point is legislatively rolling back Citizens United. Stay tuned though!" (twitter.com)
  • "It's a step to fight against Citizens United, and it makes efforts to take money out of the election equation. Stop lying." (twitter.com)
  • "Today's PSA: there is still a proposed budget that will absolutely GUT Medicare, Medicaid, and SS programs, in favor of further bloated military spending and covering a >$1T tax cut to the rich. " (twitter.com)

  • "I will push for green energy and a cleaner environment, either through carbon taxes which get distributed to the customers in the area that polluter serves, renewed subsidies and incentives for pursuing green energy, some combination of those two, or something else entirely."

  • "It speaks volumes that shootings have become so common this story flew under the radar. #RedFlagLaws work, and this is the natural consequence of our refusal to pass one in Tennessee. We could've temporarily taken the guns out of this & saved lives." (twitter.com)
  • "That said, I draw the line very clearly at banning semi-automatic weapons. I will support and push legislation which will actually make a change, including but not limited to: expanding background checks to private sales, required mental health screenings, red flag laws, banning violent criminals and domestic abusers from ownership, and similar measures."

  • "$1T cut to #Medicare/#Medicaid/#SocialSecurity - Repealing the ACA, removing protections for Americans with pre-existing conditions - Refusing to #ExpandMedicaid in many states, causing ACA insurance rates to skyrocket in those states "The party of NO healthcare." FTFY." (twitter.com)
  • "Yesterday, the government took a major step towards removing healthcare for millions: they refused to defend the ACA. With no replacement waiting in the wings, this means if they have their way, millions of Americans will lose their protections for pre-existing conditions." (twitter.com)

  • "We need more of this. Stop the #FakeNationalEmergency! "The wall" is an unnecessary extra layer of international division, and it WILL NOT do anything about illegal immigration! How about we start by hiring all those border patrol agents that were funded and never actually hired?" (twitter.com)
  • "You know what's actually unfair to Americans? Being saddled with the cost of an unnecessary, xenophobic wall that he was elected on the promise of making Mexico pay for. Did you forget that little detail? Because I didn't, I just knew it was a lie from the start." (twitter.com)
  • "This is what a "zero tolerance" immigration policy does to our nation. We need to reform our laws and provide real, meaningful paths to citizenship for people. Families that have been here for years are being torn apart. It's not making America anything but hateful." (twitter.com)
  • Despite exhaustive research, Vote Smart was unable to find information about this candidate's position.
  • "The US military is NOT a for-hire mercenary force, and not even the President has the unilateral authority to make a decision like this. We should be getting out of wars in the Middle East, not itching for new ones. @SpeakerPelosi, do your job. #ImpeachNow" (twitter.com)
  • "Seriously. It can't be said enough. #NoWarWithIran. We've been at war in the middle East since I was in high school. It's senseless violence for the sake of money. Where are the Trump supporters that were clamoring for an end to these wars a few months ago? Time to stop this." (twitter.com)
  • "Just this past week, I talked to a farmer here in Tennessee who's lost over $350k - so much that he could barely pay workers - from the value of his crop thanks to the trade war. Now, we have other businesses seeing their costs skyrocket. Is anyone else tired of this "#Winning"?" (twitter.com)
  • "So, Trump has now caused the stock market he keeps trumpeting to nosedive in a very big way. The thing he kept pointing to every single time people criticized his insane trade policy, his foreign relations decisions, or anything else. "But the economy" no longer has any support."
