Oregon Congressional Election 2022 Political Courage Test
| Pro-life | Do you generally support pro-choice or pro-life legislation? | ||
| If a woman's life is in jeopardy or if she is a survivor of abuse she should have her choice. | |||
| Yes | Do you support expanding federal funding to support social safety net programs such as Social Security and Medicare? | ||
| I believe the government has been irresponsible with spending and providing the services there are constitutionally mandated to provide. It is long overdue to stop pointing fingers and provide the proper funding for Social Security and Medicare. | |||
| Yes | Do you support the regulation of indirect campaign contributions from corporations,unions, and individuals? | ||
| I think the regulations in place are not working. It is alarming how much money is being spent for campaigns. The current regulations are just week guidelines that are being manipulated and abused by campaigns every year. | |||
| Unknown Position | Do you support the protection of government officials, including law enforcement officers, from personal liability in civil lawsuits concerning alleged misconduct? | ||
|
|||
| The word Alleged makes this question to difficult to answer with a yes or no. 100% immunity based on ones position violates the foundation of this country. Is their is a conclusive finding of guilt there needs to be accountability. | |||
| Yes | Do you support federal spending as a means of promoting economic growth? | ||
| Yes | Do you support providing financial relief to businesses AND/OR corporations negatively impacted by the state of national emergency for COVID-19? | ||
| Unknown Position | Do you support the federal government taking action, beyond those of the Federal Reserve, to alleviate inflation? | ||
|
|||
| The current administration has created this problem and could easily solve it. As we can see the Federal Reserve's actions have done nothing but put us into a recession. The Federal Government should be hyper active in stopping this unnecessary inflation. | |||
| Unknown Position | Do you support the forgiveness of federal student loan debt? | ||
|
|||
| I do not. However there should not be interest on student loans. In addition the college system for obtaining degrees needs to be evaluated. There are classes the system requires to obtain a degree that are not relevant to that particular degree. That is an additional cost and time unnecessary for the student. | |||
| Yes | Do you support requiring a government-issued identification in order to vote at the polls? | ||
|
|||
| 100% It is hard to fathom why this is even an issue in today's world. Federal ID is required for an individual in almost every area of their lives. The only reason for ID to not be required is in an effort to allow voter fraud. | |||
| Yes | Do you support government funding for the development of renewable energy (e.g. solar, wind, geo-thermal)? | ||
| No | Do you support the federal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions? | ||
| We are not even close to being able to run on all renewable energy. The current hyper plan will further damage this country and the people that are trying just to stay afloat financially. | |||
| Yes | Do you support requiring immigrants who are unlawfully present to return to their country of origin before they are eligible for citizenship? | ||
| Unknown Position | Do you support increasing security along the southern US border? | ||
|
|||
| We need to finish the border wall and protect this country. If we finish the wall and put back in place the laws that were in place, the need to increase security would not be needed. | |||
| No | Do you support raising taxes, on any income or on any entity, to promote economic growth? | ||
| The government has plenty of tax payer money to do what they should be doing. What we need is for the Government to stop creating more ways to tax the public, and instead be more responsible stewards of our money. | |||
| No | Do you generally support removing barriers to international trade (for example: tariffs, quotas, etc.)? | ||
| Federal regulations preventing schools from teaching any form of CRT, and gender confusion. We should open up all our fossil fuel industries and become the world leader in energy. Which would lower costs across the board. Mental Health and addiction programs. Police funding and continued training. All these program can be funded by cleaning up all the wasted spending and money we are throwing around the world wthout regard the people paying their taxes. |
