What is the Political Courage Test?

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 2024.

  • "I choose life and support government funded abortions that are medically necessary only at the risk of death. I support the right to choose and receive government funds, as permitted by state law. Furthermore, instead of placing the burden of termination on those individuals carrying unwanted pregnancies, let's focus on the source that initiates unwanted pregnancies, which are individuals who create 'sperm' in their body. Giving vasectomies as much attention & support as abortions would render Roe vs Wade moot." (justfacts.votesmart.org)
  • Do you generally support pro-choice or pro-life legislation? "Pro-Life" (justfacts.votesmart.org)
  • Do you support expanding federal funding to support entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare? "Yes" (justfacts.votesmart.org)

  • Do you support the regulation of indirect campaign contributions from corporations and unions? "Yes" (justfacts.votesmart.org)
  • "The protection that Qualified Immunity has provided government officials has created a taint of negligence that has eroded the trust of Americans in their government to uphold justice. There is a warfare strategy where one replaces "good wood with rotten wood". Based on what I am currently observing of our government, good government officials have been replaced with negligent officials. As a result, our country is crumbling and the ideal of Justice in America has lost the faith and trust of its citizens." (justfacts.votesmart.org)
  • Do you support the protection of government officials, including law enforcement officers, from personal liability in civil lawsuits concerning alleged misconduct? "No" (justfacts.votesmart.org)

If an individual does not pass the gun safety testing, then gun merchants could not sell guns to that individual, as the testing endorsement would not be on their government issued ID.

Pro-life Do you generally support pro-choice or pro-life legislation?

Furthermore, instead of placing the burden of termination on those individuals carrying unwanted pregnancies, let's focus on the source that initiates unwanted pregnancies, which are individuals who create 'sperm' in their body.

Yes Do you support the regulation of indirect campaign contributions from corporations and unions?
No Do you support the protection of government officials, including law enforcement officers, from personal liability in civil lawsuits concerning alleged misconduct?
The protection that Qualified Immunity has provided government officials has created a taint of negligence that has eroded the trust of Americans in their government to uphold justice. There is a warfare strategy where one replaces "good wood with rotten wood". Based on what I am currently observing of our government, good government officials have been replaced with negligent officials. As a result, our country is crumbling and the ideal of Justice in America has lost the faith and trust of its citizens.

Yes Do you support the federal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions?
Yes Do you generally support gun-control legislation?
I support civilian training with gun education testing endorsements on government ID's to own a gun. Testing endorsements that cover the spectrum of gun handling and safety prior to owning a weapon would help mitigate gun violence in America. If an individual does not pass the gun safety testing, then gun merchants could not sell guns to that individual, as the testing endorsement would not be on their government issued ID. Someone who passed the testing and has been endorsed, would be responsible for keeping their weapons safely locked away.
Yes Do you support repealing the 2010 Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare")?

I support paid medical leave as long as the government provides businesses with the necessary funding for a public health crises.
Yes Do you support the construction of a wall along the Mexican border?
Yes Do you support requiring immigrants who are unlawfully present to return to their country of origin before they are eligible for citizenship?
Key word of this question is "unlawfully". I support the law. There are legal avenues for foreign immigrants to enter the USA.
Yes Should the United States use military force to prevent governments hostile to the U.S. from possessing a weapon of mass destruction (for example: nuclear, biological, chemical)?
Yes Do you support reducing military intervention in Middle East conflicts?
Yes Do you generally support removing barriers to international trade (for example: tariffs, quotas, etc.)?
The four primary focus areas that I shall direct the full weight of my attention on, shall be homelessness, trafficking, veterans, and energy.
