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.

  • "For me, from a healthcare perspective, abortion access is about safety and freedom. When abortion is criminalized, more people die trying to abort illegally. When people have more freedom, and access to the services they’ve identified needing, they are safer." (twitter.com)
  • "Protect reproductive rights and abortion access in the face of the increasing attacks that we have witnessed in recent years, including threats to Roe V. Wade. " (www.isaacforvermont.com)
  • "Ensure wealthy individuals and American corporations pay their fair share in taxes so the burden does not fall on lower income Americans – Vermonters included." (www.isaacforvermont.com)
  • "Make billionaires pay their fair share. Right now, many middle-class Vermont families pay a higher tax rate than billionaires. That is not fair, and is not workable nor sustainable. I will work with Senator Sanders and others to change that." (www.isaacforvermont.com)
  • "Make Medicare for All a reality. Working for years in Federally Qualified Health Centers, I saw the hard choices people had to make about whether or not to seek care, and I advocated at the state level for Medicare for All. A universal public healthcare system would guarantee that all Americans have quality healthcare. An illness or an injury should not condemn a family to bankruptcy, debt, and long nights of worrying about which procedures, providers, or treatments are covered by insurance and which are not." (www.isaacforvermont.com)
  • "Fight for workers’ rights as outlined in the Vermont AFL-CIO labor council’s 10-point program and the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act that removes barriers for workers to unionize. As the union representative for my community health center, I led over 300 union members from a network of over 10 health centers, from custodians to doctors, in building a consensus statement of demands for childcare, increased wages, and better working conditions for our teams, and I helped negotiate a contract that included childcare benefits for employees."

  • "Vermonters do not want endless war, but many of U.S. have lived our entire lives in an America at war. Endless war makes problems worse, diverts money away from our communities, and most importantly, has a catastrophic human toll on all sides — and it needs to stop. We need to cut military spending and invest in our communities — we know we have the resources to do so." (www.isaacforvermont.com)

  • "We need to support measures ensuring that all our young people have access to high quality education, and we need to support our educational workforce." (www.isaacforvermont.com)
  • "Employ a WWII-scale approach to solving this crisis through massive subsidies and supports for broadly distributed renewable energy, an end to pollutants harming our air, water, land and bodies, and economic development that centers conservation." (www.isaacforvermont.com)
  • "UVM expects about 70 bird to vanish from Vermont in next 25 years due to climate crisis. Includes the hermit thrush, our state bird. Sad. I’m committed to our massively transforming our energy system to stop the crisis. We need WWII-scale investment. Fast. #EarthDay2022" (twitter.com)
  • "Support zero human-made greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, including removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere." (www.isaacforvermont.com)
  • "As I said in the candidates’ forum yesterday: I will work for a ban on military-style assault weapons. I will work to require all gun purchases pass a criminal background check no matter how the gun is bought. I will work to enforce the laws we already have. 1/2" (twitter.com)
  • "When it comes to foreign wars (ex: Yemen), @POTUS apparently does whatever he wants, often in violation of the Constitution. When it comes to protecting schoolchildren in Texas from an 18-year-old with a legally purchased assault weapon, he’s like: “My hands are tied.”" (twitter.com)
