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 am a Pro Roe candidate and believe women should have the right to decide her own healthcare. Period." (x.com)
  • "I’m Pro Roe and one of the reasons I’m running for Congress" (x.com)
  • "We also need to ensure that no American is without coverage between jobs by adding a public option to Medicare. This would have the added advantage of further stabilizing Medicare." (www.theresa4texas.com)
  • "We need to simplify how Medicare and Medicaid work; reducing bureaucracy, making services easier to access and freeing up money to improve and expand the healthcare these programs provide." (www.theresa4texas.com)
  • "I also will refuse to vote for any bill that raises taxes on Americans who (individually) earn less than $400,000 a year." (www.theresa4texas.com)
  • "Because of the high burden on Texans from state property taxes, I support removing the cap on State And Local Tax (SALT) deductions from your federal tax returns. Instead, I favor the ultra-rich paying their fair share and I favor closing the loopholes that allow those with more money than pride in America to stiff the country out of paying what they should." (www.theresa4texas.com)
  • "I also will refuse to vote for any bill that raises taxes on Americans who (individually) earn less than $400,000 a year." (www.theresa4texas.com)
  • "It makes no sense that a mom-and-pop shop should on paper pay the same rate as Amazon (in reality, they pay a much higher rate because Amazon has enough loopholes to get out of paying most tax). I favor raising the corporation tax rate significantly on the biggest businesses with the biggest profits, and lowering the taxes of the small, family owned businesses that power our economy."

  • "I believe the federal government has a part to play in creating and enforcing minimum standards of cell phone service and high speed internet. And where there are gaps in coverage, grants should be given to locally driven projects to fix that." (www.theresa4texas.com)
  • "We should draw inspiration from our past, infilling density in our cities side by side with essential infrastructure such as grocery stores, community spaces and reliable affordable transit options. This will require a mix of federal funding, auditing projects to avert cost overruns, and incentivising replacing zoning restricting with community led planning and approval." (www.theresa4texas.com)
  • "Finally, we must address the root causes of housing unaffordability. I am a realtor - I know the markets - and I have seen how exploitation of the housing market for corporate or hedge fund profits has left Americans high and dry. Artificially restricting supply for greater profit is not responsible behavior. That’s why in office I would favor a ban on corporate ownership of property and cracking down on the use of collaborative algorithms that artificially fix rent prices well above what is reasonable." (www.theresa4texas.com)
  • Despite exhaustive research, Vote Smart was unable to find information about this candidate's position.
  • "We need to combine economic factors such as raising the minimum wage and lower cost housing, with situation specific plans such as grants for students studying desperately needed areas and those who might not have the economic opportunity to study, and a nationwide minimal interest public college loan scheme that stops loan sharks from taking advantage of students."

  • Despite exhaustive research, Vote Smart was unable to find information about this candidate's position.
  • "This is why I support a federal minimum number of sick days, and a paid family leave plan (co-funded by the federal government and your employer) that can be split between both parents according to need." (www.theresa4texas.com)
  • "We need to lower the cost of medications, both through allowing the government to negotiate all drug prices (a fundamental hallmark of market capitalism) and through manufacturing generic drugs at cost for those in need." (www.theresa4texas.com)
  • "We do need stricter border controls, not just at the physical border, but also through airports (The greatest percentage of people in America illegally pass through the nation’s airports and overstay a legally held visa)." (www.theresa4texas.com)
  • "We need to fully accept that immigrants are not just a boon for this country, they are essential: Farms and factories would grind to a halt, and the Social Security fund would run dry in short order, all without immigrants contributing to the economy. If we are to rightly reduce illegal immigration, then we need to allow those who have much to give to contribute to America legally." (www.theresa4texas.com)
