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’m 100% pro-life. But being pro-life is far more than being ONLY pro-birth. I have a policy plan that will encourage adoption over abortion by incentivizing doctors to provide free ultrasounds for any woman considering an abortion. 80% of mothers that see their baby's heartbeat choose to not have an abortion. My plan for increased patient education would also be coupled with further funding to make the adoption process more affordable for parents - including tax incentives and even a direct stipend to families trying to complete an adoption." (www.denotterforcongress.com)
  • "This issue doesn't have to be divisive - it can actually unite people from all walks of life and political ideologies. Rather than treating an unexpected pregnancy or child as a problem, we should work together to create a welcoming community, a system that promotes the family, and is truly pro-life. As your Congressman, I will fight to protect unborn children and our families." (www.denotterforcongress.com)

  • "I'm a passionate advocate for our students, parents, and teachers. It's imperative that we strengthen our local schools and empower our parents to educate and train their children to face the issues that they will face in the 21st century. One size fits all Washington solutions don't work for any issue, especially one as important as our kids' future." (www.denotterforcongress.com)

  • "I will not support any legislation that will interfere with Americans' right to protect themselves or their families. I will oppose the agenda in place that seeks to make law-abiding gun-owners criminals." (www.denotterforcongress.com)

  • "When elected to Congress I will fight to ensure our borders are secure, our immigration plans are reformed, and every policy we put in place puts American workers first. It's no secret that our southern border is a total crisis situation, and the current elected leadership continues to fail the American people. We need a real solution and a real plan to keep the citizens of America safe and secure - not more political ploys." (www.denotterforcongress.com)
  • "America is a melting-pot, and we MUST always be a welcoming nation. But make no mistake - we will always be a nation of law and order. I support legal immigration into our country where good people of all nations become citizens, and achieve the American Dream." (www.denotterforcongress.com)
