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.

  • Eliminating the filibuster means Biden, Schumer, and Pelosi can pass any law they want such as abortion up until and after birth, 2A restrictions, Green New Deal programs, and higher taxes on Americans to fund their socialist agenda. It's up to us to stop them. (twitter.com)
  • Fetterman, Lamb, and every other one of my Democrat opponents in this race support Pelosi's radical abortion bill. PA deserve leadership that will defend the unborn & advocate for pro-life legislation. We need a voice for the voiceless and I will be that voice in the U.S. Senate. (twitter.com)
  • If you are unwilling to protect the sanctity of life, you don’t belong on the highest court in the land. (twitter.com)
  • Pelosi’s most radical, anti-life bill, dubbed "Women’s Health Protection Act," not only forces states to comply with federal law of abortions on demand - it actively targets and celebrates ending babies’ lives. The Senate MUST strike this bill down - all life is precious! (twitter.com)
  • 50 Cent gets it! Just like Texas, we too can make Pennsylvania small business and family friendly! Fewer taxes and less federal regulation on Pennsylvanians will make a major difference in our wallets. (twitter.com)
  • Prioritizing our small businesses, lowering taxes, promoting our agriculture industry, and renewing Pennsylvania's energy independence. This needs to happen, and that is why I'm running to represent the Commonwealth in the US Senate. (twitter.com)
  • Proud to sign @TaxReformer's Taxpayer Protection Pledge today. Pennsylvanians are taxed enough as it is - as your next U.S. Senator, I will work to REDUCE taxes at the federal level. (twitter.com)
  • With our economy in shambles, the last thing we need is more of Biden’s wasteful spending that will only increase taxes and skyrocket inflation. We’re in desperate need of Conservative leadership - that’s why I’m running for US Senate in Pennsylvania. (twitter.com)
  • To conclude: #Biden policies, inflation, and spending, are building a national debt that will leave Pennsylvanians paying the price for GENERATIONS. We can cut the radical leftist agenda of the Biden-Harris admin short next year. (twitter.com)
  • We have $30 trillion in national debt! We need strong Republican leadership to stop the radical Democrat spending. No more Covid relief bills! (twitter.com)
  • BIG NEWS for Pennsylvania! Today, the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court found Act 77, legislation that allowed no-excuse mail-in voting, to be UNCONSTITUTIONAL! This goes to show the importance of electing Constitutional Republican judges across our Commonwealth and America! (twitter.com)
  • The integrity of our elections is too important to leave to chance. A photo ID should be required to vote in all 50 states, no exceptions. (twitter.com)
  • As Democrats continue to push for defunding the police, crime will continue to surge in our most vulnerable, Democrat-run cities. (twitter.com)
  • Calling for defunding of the police while hiding behind a private security force. So brave. The absolute lack of principle is astounding for a supposed representative of the people. (twitter.com)
  • The Biden Administration holding records on nearly one billion gun sales is a direct assault on our Second Amendment rights. The left continues to defund police, empower criminals, and attack law-abiding gun owners. I will never compromise on the Second Amendment. (twitter.com)
  • This goes to show that no one, not even members of Congress, are safe under Philly’s far-left leadership. Democrat mayors and governors must enforce our laws and protect our citizens. I will work to ban defunding of the police at the federal level. (twitter.com)
  • Whether in Denmark, Greenland, or the Faroe Islands, as Ambassador, I worked tirelessly with our State Dept, Defense Dept, and White House to counter threats China posed towards Denmark and America. As your Senator, I’ll continue my work to counter China and safeguard the US. (twitter.com)
  • Even with record-breaking 7.5% inflation, Democrats want to keep printing and spending more money. The only way we can stop inflation is by stopping the spending. (twitter.com)
  • Under Joe Biden, The federal government spent $6.8 trillion in 2021. This spending created the inflation crisis and gave us the biggest budget deficit in American history. We MUST stop this reckless spending, no more handouts! (twitter.com)
  • We have $30 trillion in national debt! We need strong Republican leadership to stop the radical Democrat spending. No more Covid relief bills! (twitter.com)
  • Today, Conor Lamb sided with Pelosi and Biden to pass the "Build Back Broke" bill. Thanks to Lamb, Pennsylvanians can prepare for more inflation, more taxes, and more far-left social spending. "Moderates" would see the writing on the wall with this bill - Lamb is no moderate. (twitter.com)
  • 50 Cent gets it! Just like Texas, we too can make Pennsylvania small business and family friendly! Fewer taxes and less federal regulation on Pennsylvanians will make a major difference in our wallets. (twitter.com)
  • Had a fantastic time meeting farmers and ranchers at the Pennsylvania Farm Show today. One thing is clear, the Biden administration and Dems are at war with our AG community. As your US Senator, I promise to FIGHT for our farmers and will work to end the terrible death tax. (twitter.com)
  • Prioritizing our small businesses, lowering taxes, promoting our agriculture industry, and renewing Pennsylvania's energy independence. This needs to happen, and that is why I'm running to represent the Commonwealth in the US Senate. (twitter.com)

  • Democrats believe if you send your child to a public school, you have to leave your parental rights at the door. They couldn’t be more wrong – parents should be in charge of their kids’ education, not leftist politicians or bureaucrats. (twitter.com)
  • I received an excellent education when I was a middle school student in Pennsylvania. We all learned the true history of the founding our great nation and the birth of freedom. The history we studied was similar to the 1776 project. Please read it with your child! #liberty (twitter.com)
  • High energy costs and gas prices coupled with Biden's rising inflation makes life in Pennsylvania more expensive. If we want to keep people from leaving our Commonwealth, we must stop the Democrats' spending spree and promote Pennsylvania energy independence. (twitter.com)
  • How will Biden, Bernie, and AOC's socialist, Green New Deal policies affect Pennsylvanians? Higher taxes, higher gas prices, drop in energy independence/natural gas, and jobs being killed left and right. As your Senator, I will ALWAYS fight against these radical, Dem-led bills. (twitter.com)
  • Pennsylvania has enough natural gas #natgas to power the United States for 300 YEARS. LET THAT. SINK IN. (twitter.com)
  • The solution to this energy crisis lies right below our feet. We have plenty of energy here at home – let's use it! (twitter.com)

  • The Biden Administration holding records on nearly one billion gun sales is a direct assault on our Second Amendment rights. The left continues to defund police, empower criminals, and attack law-abiding gun owners. I will never compromise on the Second Amendment. (twitter.com)
  • The founders knew that armed citizens would be the ultimate protection against tyranny. We can see the atrocities governments like China can commit against their citizens when they can’t protect themselves. That's why we can never surrender our Second Amendment rights. (twitter.com)

  • After her tenure serving President Trump and the United States of America on the world stage, Carla returned to her hometown in Pennsylvania.

  • Finish the Wall! (twitter.com)

  • President Trump's 'Remain in Mexico' policy should have never been thwarted in the first place. Unfortunately, Biden and Co. found out the hard way that Trump's policies were best on immigration - solely at the cost of American lives and endangerment. (twitter.com)
  • Whether it's finishing the wall or defending our border security by increasing funds for our hero Customs and Border Patrol Officers, as your Senator I will always defend our national security from the Biden admin's open borders agenda. (twitter.com)
  • U.S. immigration laws should be followed by the Biden administration. It’s our LAW. We want legal immigrants who have waited in line to join our great county. No SANE country in the world says "come in" to all, but Biden did. #legalimmigration #BorderCrisis (twitter.com)
  • Iran cannot be trusted to hold up their end of the bargain, no matter what the deal is. Appeasement would be a true mistake. For the sake of our allies in the Middle East, we must not give an inch with Iran. (twitter.com)
  • The Harris-Biden Administration is choosing to abandon America's strongest ally in the Middle East. We MUST change course, take a stand against Hamas, and stand with Israel. (twitter.com)
  • We went from an America First president to an America Last administration. From peace in the Middle East to turmoil in Afghanistan and Yemen. From reasonable gas prices to prices skyrocketing to the moon. Biden is not fit to lead our nation. (twitter.com)

  • 3 years ago today, President Trump signed one of America’s strongest trade agreements ever signed - the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). This was a monumental win for American farmers, ranchers, and small business owners across the country! (twitter.com)
  • As Amb. to Denmark, I fought for President Trump's America First policies abroad. That meant increasing trade, standing up to China/Russia, and creating jobs. I'm the only one in this race with a proven America First record, and I'll take my skills to DC for Pennsylvania. (twitter.com)
  • It’s good to see @SecBlinken prioritize our important relationship with the Kingdom of Denmark and Arctic security. Six months ago I signed the Common Plan for US Greenland Cooperation. We now have closer ties and focus on trade, energy, education, tourism and the environment. (twitter.com)
  • I've been in the trenches fighting for the America First agenda and I have the record to prove it. I’m the only candidate who will be ready on day one to protect our national security, grow our economy, and fight for great trade deals. (twitter.com)
