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 2022.
- "President Donald Trump did more for the pro-life movement in 4 years than what other presidents did for decades. Roe v. Wade has officially been overturned!" (twitter.com)
- "Taxation is theft. I will never support an income tax. Sanctuary State= BS. I am totally against it. Lower taxes and less regulations attract more businesses=more jobs. Strict enforcement/compassionate treatment for mental health and narcotics" (twitter.com)
- "When the income tax was first introduced, just one percent of Americans had to pay it. It was never intended as a tax most Americans would pay. The Trump plan eliminated the income tax for over 73 million households. 42 million households that currently file complex forms to determine they dont owe any income taxes will now file a one-page form saving them time, stress, uncertainty, and an average of $110 in preparation costs. Over 31 million households get the same simplification and keep on average nearly $1,000 of their hard-earned money." (culpforcongress.com)

- "If Inslee is re-elected, he will take Washington down the same dangerous path as Obama - taxpayer funds squandered and misdirected while accomplishing nothing. I will work with the Trump admin to develop cost-effective solutions to lower Washingtons greenhouse gas emissions." (twitter.com)
- "All of the people who push gun control in America are currently cheering on the citizens in Ukraine who are using full auto machine guns to fight the Russians. Ironic isn't it? That's why the founders intended for citizens to be armed. It was nvr about hunting. #2A" (twitter.com)
- "In doing so, they fail to acknowledge that gun control doesnt stop criminals like the shooters who had dozens of arrests on their record - it stops the law-abiding citizens who wish to defend themselves." (twitter.com)
