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 2024.

  • "I am Pro-Life! I am 100% against our tax dollars being given to any organization that performs abortions such as Planned Parenthood!" (www.brandon4missouri.com)
  • "I will FIGHT to STOP the KILLING of unborn children! I will do everything I can to save the lives of our country's unborn children whether I’m in office or not!" (www.brandon4missouri.com)
  • "I will never vote in favor of reducing benefits or extending the age requirement for drawing your benefit." (www.brandon4missouri.com)
  • "Social Security is an important benefit that many of our most vulnerable rely on in their golden years. If we want to look out for our senior citizens, we need to do more to protect them and their assets. Once elected, I look forward to introducing robust legislation to eliminate the property tax for seniors (single or married) that have an income at or below the national median individual income (household national income divided by 2). For those seniors that are above the national median income (household national income divided by 2), there will be a reduced property tax capped at 25%. Doing this keeps more money in the pockets of our most vulnerable and affords them the economic power and freedom to spend their hard earned money on necessities and pleasures alike."

  • "President Trump did an excellent job stimulating our economy with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017" (www.brandon4missouri.com)
  • "I will never vote to raise taxes and will do everything in my power to lower taxes!" (www.brandon4missouri.com)
  • "The government takes far too much of our hard-earned money already! Every time the government raises our taxes, they insult us by saying they can spend our money to improve our lives better than we can. Our government already spends $216,000 EVERY SECOND and needs to cut spending! I WILL FIGHT FOR THE TAX PAYING CITIZENS OF OUR COUNTRY!" (www.brandon4missouri.com)

  • "General Flynn also endorsed me, calling me a champion for our Military, Veterans, and law enforcement." (www.brandon4missouri.com)
  • "General Flynn also endorsed me, calling me a champion for our Military, Veterans, and law enforcement." (www.brandon4missouri.com)
  • "We should have a very powerful military that has anything and everything they need to defend this country and get the job done!" (www.brandon4missouri.com)
  • "I will fight to cut spending and for passage of a balanced budget amendment! Politicians need to be good stewards of our tax dollars and cut spending, balance budgets, and pay down our debt instead of being wasteful and borrowing from China. We need to leave this country a better place and provide a better future for our families and future generations. Our current national debt is 28.9 trillion dollars, and we literally cannot afford to do nothing or spend more!" (www.brandon4missouri.com)
  • "Our current national debt is about 28.9 Trillion dollars or $28,900,000,000,000 and goes up billions of dollars each day. The federal government spends $216,000 of your hard earned money EVERY SECOND! We MUST have representatives in Congress, who will exercise fiscal responsibility! Congress must be required to prepare and approve budgets, which are sustainable, do not increase the deficit, and provide a surplus of tax revenue to pay down the national debt each year. We simply cannot continue this ridiculous level of spending! If you or I treated our household budgets like our congress treats the national budget, we would lose our homes, cars, and everything we have." (www.brandon4missouri.com)

  • "Election Integrity is vital to ensure free and fair elections and keep the American people's trust in our Constitutional Republic strong. As your Congressman, I will go to Washington and fight for nationwide voter ID standards, an end to ballot harvesting and the mail-in-ballot madness that Democrats pushed in PA, MI, and other states. I will work with my colleagues to pass legislation requiring more transparency of how votes are counted, which votes can legally be counted, and documentation and enforcement of strict chain of custody laws to avoid 3AM surprises. The American people deserve a government that serves them, and that service starts with being honest throughout the election process! I will work to restore the people's trust in our process and Constitution instead of staying silent as that sacred trust is betrayed." (www.brandon4missouri.com)
  • "I will fight for a nationwide voter ID law!" (www.brandon4missouri.com)
  • "Energy independence is necessary for the security of a free state! We must elect people who will support domestic energy so that we can get back to oil/energy independence! America is the most powerful country in the world, there is absolutely no reason for us to be dependent on any other nation!" (x.com)
  • "It is not feasible to turn away from coal and oil, period. Fossil fuel is the only current way to sustain our growing society. The technology for renewable energy is not at a point where it can replace fossil fuels. I would like to see alternative energy sources continue to be researched and advanced, but personally, I believe we are a long way from replacing fossil fuels. So, let’s be real – we need oil, we need coal. Let’s work towards other energy sources, but let’s also deregulate, invest in, and grow our energy production to get back to being energy independent, as we were when President Trump was in office!"

  • "I will never vote in favor of any legislation seeking to restrict our 2nd amendment right to bear arms! Defending this country from all enemies foreign and domestic is, in my opinion, our most important duty! Without the right to bear arms, we are not able to defend ourselves, our communities, and our country from these threats should peaceful means not be an option." (www.brandon4missouri.com)
  • "I will NEVER vote in favor of any legislation that seeks to infringe upon our second amendment rights!" (www.brandon4missouri.com)
  • "I will fight to allow you to buy insurance across state lines to create a competitive atmosphere for providers to have to lower prices to gain our business!" (www.brandon4missouri.com)
  • "People come from all over the world to the United States for their serious health care needs rather than staying in their countries with universal health care. Our health care system has financial incentive, which inspires medical innovation, drug development, new treatments and procedures to improve the quality of care available to humanity. We create the majority of new medicine, treatments, and cures on the planet!" (www.brandon4missouri.com)

  • "A nation without borders and control those borders is not a nation at all! We must complete President Trump's Wall and gain control of our southern border. We not only need a physical barrier, but we also need to use other strategies and technologies to prevent illegal border crossings like drones, sensors, satellite imagery, cameras, etc." (www.brandon4missouri.com)
  • "I will fight for our border wall to be built and supported with technologies to monitor and protect it!" (www.brandon4missouri.com)
  • "We need to do everything we can as a nation to prevent illegal immigration! We not only need to allow ICE and Border Patrol to do their job and enforce our immigration laws, but we need to give them every tool they need to do it effectively. Forget giving them every tool in the tool box, lets take them to the hardware store and get them every tool they could possibly need!" (www.brandon4missouri.com)
  • "Mass deportation is REQUIRED to SAVE AMERICA!" (www.brandon4missouri.com)
  • "We MUST also put an end to sanctuary cities! Sanctuary cities reward illegal immigrants for breaking our laws and protect them by effectively granting them amnesty and more protections than actual American citizens! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!! Illegal Immigrants should not be given driver's license or be allowed to vote, period! Some steps we can take to help curb illegal immigration is to remove incentives for them to come here, stop giving them financial assistance in the form of subsidies, free health care, food stamps, and so on." (www.brandon4missouri.com)
  • "We must secure the border, build the wall, and DEPORT ALL illegal immigrants! Currently, according to the 'experts,' there are more than 22 million illegal immigrants in this country (so it’s probably really 30+ million). The next time Democrats hold the Presidency, the House, and the Senate, they're going to grant amnesty to every single one of these illegals, and from then on, Democrats win every election. The America we grew up in, our rights, our Constitution – it will all be gone forever. Just listen to what the Democrats say. They aren’t lying to us; they mean it. They want to take our guns, restrict our speech, pack the courts – they have said all of these things. This is why we must DEPORT most, if not ALL illegal immigrants within our borders. Whoever we send to DC to represent Missouri's 3rd District has to understand that if we lose this fight, then we will literally lose ALL fights because Democrats will have full control of our government indefinitely."

  • "Biden is an udder disgrace! He has sent over 110 Billion of OUR tax dollars to Ukraine. But when AMERICANS face a disaster, his solution is to give $700 to every American family who lost their home, for a total of less than 2 million dollars! This disaster was preventable, and government failed its citizens! Then he slaps every American household who lost there home due to government NEGLIGENCE, in the face with a $700 check. A $700 check barely covers the groceries for 2 weeks for the average American family! Let alone housing, and other expenses. Biden is a POS" (x.com)
  • "Our border is wide open, we don’t have a wall, we are being INVADED, and democrats don’t care at all! Yet here Democrats are happily chanting 'Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine' as they wave Ukrainian flags in the Chamber of the United States House of Representatives after passing $60 billion in aid for Ukraine. DISGRACEFUL! These Democrats always put America last! They should all be removed from office!" (x.com)
