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.
- "A womans right to make her own reproductive decisions is an issue of freedom, and we need to recognize that. Abortion is health care and the government has no place getting in between women and their doctors, and the leaked Supreme Court draft decision illustrates why it is so important to codify Roe v Wade into law. With draconian bans on abortions cropping up all over the countryincluding the ban here in Florida signed by Ron DeSantisthe GOP is now the party of forced birth that puts the rights of rapists ahead of the rights of women. It cannot be overstated how extreme this position is, and we must fight back against this heinous movement." (www.eddiegeller.com)

- "I unequivocally support passing Medicare for All so everyone has access to the care they need, regardless of their socioeconomic status. However, I also recognize that that will be a long fight and people need help right now. In the meantime, I support measures like reducing prescription drug prices, expanding Medicaid, and the creation of a public option that will drive down costs and increase accessibility for our most vulnerable populations." (www.eddiegeller.com)
- "For the sake of our democracy, I support overturning Citizens United and passing the For the People Act, which provides a litany of long-needed reforms: everything from automatic voter registration and making election day a national holiday to setting up a voluntary system of publicly funded elections and curtailing Gerrymandering. This, along with passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act would move us so much closer to a system of democracy that Americans can be proud of." (www.eddiegeller.com)
- "We need to remove dark money from politics. When I am in Congress, I will fight to end Citizens United." (twitter.com)
- "A discussion of racial justice cannot merely begin and end with the name George Floyd. Yes, we must do the most humane of our long-needed reforms: ending mass incarceration, closing the school-to-prison pipeline, and enacting the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act." (www.eddiegeller.com)

- "From bridges to roads, our communities desperately need investment in local infrastructure. The bipartisan infrastructure bill was a start. When I am in Congress, I will continue pushing for increased investment." (twitter.com)
- "Since taking office, President Biden has helped revitalize our Central Florida communities. From infrastructure to COVID relief, we are better off because of him. I look forward to continuing his successes when I am elected to Congress." (twitter.com)
- "We are coming out of a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic that triggered an unprecedented economic crisis, laying bare the inequities in our economy and healthcare system. Inflation is hitting Americans in their bank account right at a time when shocks to our system are making things even more tumultuous. We need to help Americans weather the storm in the short-term and pass President Biden's Build Back Better plan, which will make much-needed investments in our physical and human infrastructure while creating millions of good-paying jobs."

- "Tackling the climate crisis is both an environmental and an economic imperative. The latest U.N. climate report is clear: we are running out of time to adapt to our changing climate unless we reduce our emissions. America must do more to both reduce our carbon footprintthat means net zero emissions by 2050and invest in renewable sources of energy." (www.eddiegeller.com)
- "There is an epidemic of gun violence in this country and we need leaders who are brave enough to push for common sense gun safety laws. In Congress, I will support universal background checks for all firearm purchases, a ban on assault weapons, and strengthening red flag laws, which temporarily remove firearms from those who are at risk of harming themselves and others. We also need the government to aid law enforcement, researchers, and communities to inform evidence-based solutions that go beyond the binary of who can and cannot obtain a firearm."

- "Today, millions of Americans marched to end gun violence. Our leaders in Congress must act by passing the Protect our Kids Act immediately." (twitter.com)
