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.
- "Every woman deserves the freedom to choose what is right for her own life, whether that means choosing to become a parent or deciding that parenting is not the right path for her. Parenthood is a profound commitment that can bring immense fulfillment, but it is not a choice that should be forced upon anyone. Denying access to safe and legal abortion is not only a violation of personal autonomy, but it also risks endangering the lives of women in need of essential medical care." (www.ahmadforhouse.com)
- "In essence, my commitment is to protect and advance reproductive rights. We stand with women, families, and individuals in their pursuit of reproductive freedom and the right to make decisions about their own bodies and lives. Together, we can create a future where every person's reproductive choices are respected, where healthcare is accessible and comprehensive, and where individuals can shape their lives with dignity and autonomy." (www.ahmadforhouse.com)
- "The right to reproductive freedom is a deeply personal and fundamental human right. It encompasses the autonomy to make decisions about our own bodies, free from government interference. As a firm advocate for women's reproductive rights, I firmly support the right to safe and legal abortion, recognizing the critical importance of safeguarding this essential healthcare service." (www.ahmadforhouse.com)
- "To safeguard and expand access to comprehensive reproductive healthcare, we will prioritize initiatives that support contraception, family planning services, and safe and legal abortion. We firmly oppose any efforts to undermine or restrict reproductive rights, working towards ensuring that these essential healthcare services are accessible and affordable for all individuals, regardless of their income, location, or insurance status." (www.ahmadforhouse.com)
- "Our campaign is dedicated to shaping an economy that uplifts every American and fosters true economic justice. It's time to address the soaring costs of healthcare, prescription drugs, and utility bills that burden hardworking families. By decreasing these expenses, we can alleviate the financial strain on everyday Americans and ensure access to essential services without sacrificing their well-being. Expanding Medicare coverage for prescription drugs is a crucial step towards making healthcare more affordable and accessible for all. Nobody should have to choose between their health and financial stability, and by prioritizing this issue, we can secure a healthier future for our citizens." (www.ahmadforhouse.com)
- "Raising the debt ceiling is crucial because it allows the Treasury to honor financial commitments already approved by Congress and the President. Failure to raise the ceiling could jeopardize the nation's credit and disrupt vital programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and veterans benefits." (www.ahmadforhouse.com)

- "As a passionate advocate for change, I stand firm in my support for meaningful gun reform legislation. We must implement common-sense measures to protect our loved ones and prevent further tragedies. Background checks for prospective gun buyers are a fundamental step in ensuring that firearms do not fall into the wrong hands. Moreover, we cannot ignore the alarming connection between domestic abuse and gun ownership. It is imperative to prohibit those convicted of domestic violence from possessing firearms, putting the safety of vulnerable individuals first." (www.ahmadforhouse.com)
- "I'm deeply saddened by the tragic news of another deadly mass shooting, this time in #Maine. Thoughts and prayers are not enough.

It eliminates copays and premiums, ensuring that medical care is accessible and affordable to all." (www.ahmadforhouse.com)
- "In our great nation, healthcare should never be a privilege reserved for the wealthyâit must be a basic human right for every American. As someone who has worked in public health, I have witnessed firsthand the devastating impact of limited healthcare access on our fellow citizens.

Right here in our district, there are individuals enduring tooth pain for weeks on end, unable to afford the care they desperately need. This is unacceptable in a nation that should be advancing towards progress and providing its people with the fundamental right to healthcare. As a nation, we must come together and ensure that quality healthcare is accessible to all, regardless of their financial situation." (www.ahmadforhouse.com)

- "Moreover, we must address the exorbitant costs of prescription drugs that burden many Americans. By working with pharmaceutical companies and enabling Medicare to negotiate drug prices directly, we can dramatically reduce costs and place a cap on certain medications. This will provide relief to individuals who currently struggle with high out-of-pocket expenses for essential medications. Additionally, extending government subsidies for health insurance purchased on the exchange will make coverage more attainable for those in need." (www.ahmadforhouse.com)

- "I advocate for the creation of a clear and fair pathway to citizenship for all undocumented people in our country, including those protected under the DACA program (DREAMers). Many of these individuals were brought to the United States as children and have known no other home. It is unjust to punish them for circumstances beyond their control. Providing them with a pathway to citizenship recognizes their contributions, acknowledges their potential, and aligns with our values as a nation that embraces diversity and opportunity." (www.ahmadforhouse.com)
- "I firmly believe that our nation's immigration policy should be rooted in justice, compassion, and inclusivity. For far too long, undocumented immigrants have been unfairly vilified, despite the significant contributions they make to our communities and economy.

- "Moreover, I believe that our immigration policy should prioritize the principles of humanity and dignity. The current system often perpetuates fear, uncertainty, and family separation. We must strive for a more compassionate approach that upholds the basic human rights of all individuals, regardless of their immigration status. This includes ensuring access to legal representation, humane treatment in detention facilities, and protection against discrimination. I will work tirelessly to create comprehensive immigration reform that addresses these issues. This reform must reflect the values of our nationâa nation built by immigrants seeking a better life and greater opportunities. I will work to craft legislation that addresses the needs of our economy, honors the contributions of immigrants, and safeguards the rights of all individuals. Together, we can forge a just U.S. immigration policy that embodies our shared commitment to a diverse, inclusive, and prosperous society." (www.ahmadforhouse.com)
