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 as a pro-choice candidate, it is always a woman's choice, it is her body." (www.brianjayeformichigan.com)
  • "I want it known being "pro-choice" doesn't mean I like abortion, it means it isn't my choice, it is a woman's choice. My opinion isn't relevant. I am grateful everyday for my son, and cherish life greatly, but again, it is always a woman's choice, it is her body. Before Roe V. Wade roughly 200 women died a year from illegal abortions, and between 20% to 25% of all pregnancies were aborted. I will never stand in the way of a woman's right to choose what to do with her own body." (www.brianjayeformichigan.com)
  • "I will always stand for a WOMAN'S right to choose, a man should have no input in that decision. The decision in Roe v. Wade prevented violent deaths to multiple women getting black market abortions throughout the United States. The GOP wants to tell a woman what to do." (twitter.com)
  • "I will fight to lower to age to attain Medicare, which is a step in the direction of attaining a single payer healthcare system in our Country." (www.brianjayeformichigan.com)
  • "I will oppose the privatization of Social Security, and fight to keep the benefit age the same, or raise the retirement age. I will not allow Medicare to be turned into a voucher program, and fight to allow Medicare the power to lower prescription drug prices." (www.brianjayeformichigan.com)
  • "Here is where the candidates stood in 2020 in Lisa McClain's race. I support police reform that starts with hiring practices within departments. No chokeholds, and consequences to bad officers. I do not support defunding police departments." (twitter.com)
  • "I see many police officers will always support Lisa McClain before myself. I am not looking to defund Police Departments, but believe reform against systemic racism and misconduct is needed in America. I was going to dedicate my life to law enforcement. Flip MI09 Blue." (twitter.com)

  • "I believe military styled assault weapons have no place in our society. On that same token, the Second Amendment was enacted to allow an American citizen to defend themselves and do see the value in law-abiding citizens to own guns, if properly cared for and regulated. I want better background checks for someone to be able to get a gun in America. I fully support Rep. Slotkin's non-intrusive law regarding children's access to guns. We all want a safer America." (www.brianjayeformichigan.com)
  • "I want regulations and legislation passed that protects Americans from senseless gun violence." (www.brianjayeformichigan.com)
  • "My campaign understands the importance of immigration reform in America, being a first generation American on my father's side. My campaign believes in the rights of all human beings, and will protect anyone within our country from legislation designed to negatively impact their lives." (www.brianjayeformichigan.com)
