- "There is no reason to open the door for federal laws regarding abortions. Those who wish to ban them federally, are not only pandering to their base, but fail to realize that they are playing into the pro-abortionistsâ hands by setting a precedent for the federal government to get involved in an issue that is best decided by the individual states, which will set the stage for them to pass pro-abortion laws, with no restrictions, if they ever achieve the majority within the House and the Senate. The 10th Amendment was created for a reason. This is why, though pro-life, Janet McNulty believes that the issue of abortion should remain with the individual states and the federal government should stay out of it. This allows each state to better serve its constituents." (www.mcnultywv.com)
- "When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade in 2022, it returned the issue of abortion back to the individual states, which is where it belongs. Some in Congress have proposed a federal law banning abortions. Janet McNulty is against any federal law regarding the issue of abortion. Individual states should decide the issue within their own borders, deciding what restrictions, if any, will be imposed." (www.mcnultywv.com)

- "People should be allowed to pass what remains in their Social Security account to their descendant or another recipient of their choosing. The money you pay into Social Security is yours, not the governments; therefore, you should have control over it." (www.mcnultywv.com)
- "Social Security benefits should not be considered taxable income. In 1983, Congress passed a bill that allowed Social Security benefits for households above a certain income threshold to be taxed at a rate of up to 50%.(1) In 1993, Congress increased the tax rate on Social Security benefits to 85% for households with higher incomes.(2) Itâs time to repeal both." (www.mcnultywv.com)
- "Social Security needs to be turned back into a trust fund like it was when it was first established and before the Democrat Party, under LBJ, raided it to pay for his Great Society programs and the War on Poverty." (www.mcnultywv.com)

- "It has been said that the 1st Amendment is first for a reason, but the 2nd gives it teeth. A disarmed populace is an enslaved populace. People should never fear their government, and one of the hallmarks of a free society is one where the government respect the people. The Founders understood this and knew that one of the best measures for preventing an authoritarian government from harming the people is by preserving the right to self-defense. Perhaps George Mason said it best, "To disarm the people⦠was the best and most effectual way to enslave them." This is why Janet McNulty will defend the 2nd Amendment because if we do not preserve our right to self-defense, we are not free." (www.mcnultywv.com)

- "Throughout the later half of the 20th century, the U.S. has been involved in one foreign entanglement after another, with the most recent examples being Ukraine and Israel. We have given over $75 billion in aid, most of it military and financial, to Ukraine to protect their borders. Most of the money was used by those within the Ukrainian government to buy mansions, and most of the equipment we sent was lost, with no plans by the Biden Administration to replace it. We sent them tanks, anti-aircraft missiles, and surveillance and radar systems, weakening ourselves and leaving ourselves defenseless. We are about to make the same mistake with Israel. With $34 trillion in debt, we do not have money to spare. Our borders, northern and southern, are wide open, and there are no plans to change that. Most of our military is stationed overseas for the security of other nations, while America remains unprotected. Itâs time to end this nonsense! The only moral obligations America's elected leaders have are to the U.S. Constitution and to the United States, both of which they swear to uphold and protect. This is where Janet McNulty's obligation lies." (www.mcnultywv.com)
