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.

  • "Roe v. Wade is under attack. Adam’s aunt and sister-in-law are both OB-GYNs who have worked tirelessly on behalf of women’s reproductive health. Adam is dedicated to protecting a woman’s unequivocal right to reproductive health, abortion, and privacy." (adamschleifer.com)
  • "Undo President Trump’s recent cuts to Social Security benefits for the disabled and special needs communities." (adamschleifer.com)
  • "Support reforms to reduce the influence of money in politics so that the ideas, experience, and integrity of office seekers matter more than the money raised through corporate PACs and other vehicles." (adamschleifer.com)
  • Despite exhaustive research, Vote Smart was unable to find information about this candidate's position.
  • "Federal investment in 21st-century infrastructure on both sides of the river. Work toward a one-seat solution for Rockland commuters while pushing NJ Transit to increase existing rail traffic through Secaucus and rolling out an electric-powered bus program with dedicated lanes. Fund high-speed ferries to make better use of our waterways as arteries of transit. Improve our roads and bridges." (adamschleifer.com)
  • "Schleifer will repeal the Trump corporate tax rates. The Trump tax cuts dramatically lowered the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, caving in to corporate lobbyists who found a big business ally in the president. However, despite the president and congressional Republicans’ promise that such cuts would lead to greater business investment and higher taxable revenues, the Wall Street Journal suggests that companies have not widely passed their tax savings to their employees. One poll of 1,500 companies found that only 4 percent used their tax savings to hire more employees or increase salaries. An analysis of 145 publicly-traded companies showed only 6 percent of tax savings were going to workers, while 56 percent went to shareholders." (adamschleifer.com)
  • "Undo the entirety of President Trump’s tax plan." (adamschleifer.com)
  • "The entire federal government should be putting our health and jobs first by ensuring that personal protective equipment (PPE) gets into the hands of those who need it most, directing additional stimulus funds focused on preventing layoffs and keeping our businesses and workers afloat, and requiring industries getting bailouts – like the airlines – to commit those funds to treating customers and employees better when this is over."

  • "Create green new jobs and boost the economy by investing federal funds and creating tax incentives for green technology." (adamschleifer.com)
  • "Restore the EPA and the federal government’s respect for science while protecting our air, water, and all natural resources through strong congressional oversight. Pass legislation implementing a progressive carbon tax upon the fossil fuel companies and the other largest emitters of greenhouse gases, so that those corporations pay for their damaging emissions."

  • "Universal background checks, because we should be at least as careful about who wields a firearm as we are about who drives a car. A ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. In civil society, no one needs a weapon of war. Enact "red flag" laws, so that persons in mental health crises or distress are disallowed from possessing firearms. If a person cannot safely possess a firearm, it should not be legal for them to do so." (adamschleifer.com)
