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.

  • "By all means keep the program but anybody who wants to opt out of Social Security should be able to. It would help everybody out, especially in these times of inflation. The sad reality is that even for those depending on Social Security they still have to have other sources of income which means requiring to work, rely on family members, etc." (www.sharmaforcongress.com)
  • "On day one I will file a bill where any American Citizen can get all of their social security money back. Social Security ought to be a choice rather than a mandate. Citizens should have the option of whether they choose to engage in social security." (www.sharmaforcongress.com)
  • "Social Security is a major problem which contributes to ruining fiscal policy in this Country by causing the deficit to go UP." (www.sharmaforcongress.com)

  • "I will file a bill to END HOMELESNESS FOR VETERANS. ALL Veterans will have housing. There is no reason when one serves his Country he should be left out on the streets. I don't doubt this will be costly so the best way to pay is to appropriate funds out of the EPA, IRS, Department of Education, etc. and to also give tax breaks to housing companies to build homes (not apartments) for Veterans and guarantees to live there."

  • "I also intend to hardline the NC General Assembly into enacting Constitutional Carry. We have a SUPERMAJORITY in NC and I see no reason why the NC General Assembly shouldn't be enacting Constitutional Carry." (www.sharmaforcongress.com)
  • "Democrats want to take away firearm rights because it makes them "feel safe." As Benjamin Franklin said: "Those who give up essential liberties for temporary security deserve neither liberty nor security." (www.sharmaforcongress.com)

  • "Border Security The Right Way" (www.sharmaforcongress.com)
  • "I will file a Bill to give any funds needed to complete the Border Wall. I will be honest : this will get the most opposition. BEWARE OF THE CANDIDATES who say they can "fix" the Border Problem. 99.99% of the Border is handled by the EXECUTIVE Branch - Congress can only fund the issue. We all remember how Congress wouldn't give a dime to fund President Trump's Border Wall to the point where he had to declare a National Emergency to appropriate the funds out of the Military. We all know how H.R. 2 is being stalled in the Senate for the past 200 something days." (www.sharmaforcongress.com)
  • "I advocate for LETHAL FORCE against illegal aliens who try to cross the border. America is the greatest country in the world therefore, it should be the toughest country to gain citizenship : those who try to "sneak in" should be met with lethal force. If you try this in another country you’ll be shot dead. A country is defined by its borders : a country with no borders is no country at all. This will NOT apply to children or women." (www.sharmaforcongress.com)
  • "I will file a bill that ANY Illegal Alien that is convicted of a Felony SHALL BE PUT TO DEATH. There is NO WAY one is going to come into this Country to cause nonsense. Under current laws illegal aliens convicted of offenses in America have to be sent back to their Country. Coming here illegally is one thing, but coming here illegally to commit crimes is a whole other ball game. We NEED to start having a hardline approach or people will not take us seriously." (www.sharmaforcongress.com)
  • "I will file a bill to have ICE and the other branches of the Federal Government invade Sanctuary Cities and start kicking out all the Illegal Aliens that live there - and to enforce MASS DEPORTATIONS of ILLEGAL Aliens. Crossing the border is already a felony - yet due to the negligence of the Biden Administration we will give illegal aliens one final chance to leave peacefully." (www.sharmaforcongress.com)
