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 female friend of mine, a staunch Republican said, I do not want the Federal Government to tell me what I can or can not do with my body. Despite my Catholic upbringing, I want to go to Congress to represent the people of this District; something they have not had for quite some time. I am not going there to fight for my agenda, or what I think is important. That is something we have had for too long." (www.billvanhornforcongress.com)
- "Well, ladies and gentlemen, the beginning of the end to certain freedoms we now have are on the way out. With the Supreme Opinion of Roe v. Wade leaking out, what other freedoms are next? Well, how about same sex marriages suddenly becoming illegal? Women, how about losing your right to vote? I mean, Mike Pence thinks women should stay at home, barefoot and pregnant. I hope it's obvious to everyone now that Republicans aren't interested in your freedom. That "R" after their name stands for "R"epressing your rights! It's obvious. There is no way for anyone to spin this, only to deflect. It is time to turn this state, Florida, BLUE!" (www.facebook.com)
- "I do not believe in a Wealth Tax. I do believe that everyone needs to be taxed properly, with the wealthy paying their fair share. I also believe in a tax credit for law enforcement, fire fighters, and teachers. The first two we rely on in emergencies and the third we give our children to, so they can educate and prepare them for the future." (www.billvanhornforcongress.com)

- "As a father of seven, education is of paramount importance to me. Funding for education must be at a level where all children have access to a good, equal education, regardless of the income of the area. Schools need to be funded and they need to have the latest technology possible, including all the resources necessary to provide a safe, healthy learning experience." (www.billvanhornforcongress.com)

- "All sales of firearms must first have a universal background check; including private sales, gun shows, etc." (www.billvanhornforcongress.com)
- "I do not believe in banning the sale or distribution of weapons described as assault rifles. Rather, I believe the minimum age to buy a rifle including, but not limited to an AR-15 or a .223 should be 25 years old." (www.billvanhornforcongress.com)
- "Every individual must have the ability to access low-cost healthcare. I believe we should build on the Affordable Healthcare Act. A single parent with children should not have to worry about healthcare for themselves or for their children. Neither should a middle-aged person who has lost their job and coverage. I will not go into every example that there is, but there must be a safety net in place, so that people have access to the necessary healthcare needed." (www.billvanhornforcongress.com)

- "The Federal Government should set up an annual cap of legal immigrants. When there are problems like what we see between the US and Mexican border, both governments need to come up with a viable plan to stop illegal immigrants from entering this country. Such plans can be working with the countries whose residents are entering illegally and coming up with plans together." (www.billvanhornforcongress.com)
