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.

  • "I stand for the sanctity of all lives including the unborn. The genocidal slaughter of innocent children butchered in the name of personal convenience has been tolerated for far too long and must stop NOW!" (tyler4congress.com)
  • San Diego Union Tribune: "The implications are that the states can now determine whether they will permit abortions or not. On account of the fact that indeed nowhere does there exist in our Constitution the explicit right to abort your child then our courts ruled correctly in this case. And so the right to legally decide if abortions will be permitted is given to the individual states." (www.sandiegouniontribune.com)

  • "I will work to reinvigorate the economy of the 52nd district though decreased regulations, business friendly incentives, and channeling the enormous government waste in spending toward grant programs that foster innovations for improving people’s lives and maintain our American technological excellence." (tyler4congress.com)
  • San Diego Union Tribune: "Secondly the government, true to form, squandered the Paycheck Protection Program relief money — something we have come to expect from government. The National Bureau of Economic Research estimates that 66 percent to 77 percent of the money ended up in the hands of business owners and shareholders instead of going to paychecks as intended. Government dereliction enriched many who didn’t need the help, while far too many of those who need the help were left worse off — like the business owners and churches facing forced closures while draconian lockdowns led to catastrophic emotional, financial outcomes on countless Americans." (www.sandiegouniontribune.com)
  • San Diego Union Tribune: "The most pressing domestic issues facing the good people of District 52 are the skyrocketing costs of gas, food and home prices and the all-around cost of living. This inflationary calamity has been foisted upon the good people of District 52 as a result of the crippling idiocy of the Democratic Party’s reckless spending bills." (www.sandiegouniontribune.com)
  • San Diego Union Tribune: "To combat this runaway inflation, when I get to Washington, I will immediately get to work on reversing these spending bills, balancing the budget, opening up global supply chains, decreasing taxes to put more money in the pockets of the many struggling Americans, paying down our meteoric national debt, and incentivizing small-business expansion and start-ups to promote massive prosperity, the creation of jobs and the increased supply of goods, which will bring down prices and increase prosperity for all."

  • San Diego Union Tribune: "What should absolutely have bipartisan support, and I am deeply surprised it doesn’t, is we should secure our schools like we secure our banks and federal buildings. If we can afford to send Ukraine $40 billion, then we can afford to make our schools near impenetrable to attack from those with murderous intent. This action will be my highest priority in dealing with mass shootings when I get to Washington." (www.sandiegouniontribune.com)
  • San Diego Union Tribune: " With thoughtful sweeping deregulation, we can eliminate unnecessary disincentives for starting new health care businesses, which will also create many new jobs. Consider one example: A liberal expansion in the scope of practice for physician assistants and nurse practitioners to handle routine medical visits, which in turn frees up doctors to focus on complicated procedures/diagnoses. This would cause a steep decline in costs across the spectrum. There are many more things we can do, and if elected, I will immediately get busy on doing what Washington has failed to do."

  • "And illegal immigration has developed a cesspool for drug and sex trafficking where countless youth being escorted by coyotes straight into slavery for sex. We need to close off our porous border while making the pathway to legal citizenship achievable." (tyler4congress.com)
  • San Diego Union Tribune: "Plug up our porous border and disincentivize illegal immigration in favor of legal immigration." (www.sandiegouniontribune.com)
  • San Diego Union Tribune: "Never would I sanction Russia’s actions, but I can hardly imagine we wouldn’t do the same were the roles reversed." (www.sandiegouniontribune.com)
  • San Diego Union Tribune: "What we should most certainly not do, and which is a staggering dereliction of duty and misappropriation of resources, is send Ukraine $40 billion of our money to protect its borders without any accountability for how that money is to be spent."
