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.

  • "Wendy is proudly 100% pro-life, and will fight for the rights of our innocent unborn in Congress. As a mother and faithful Christian, Wendy understands that all life is sacred and begins at conception. Our own Declaration of Independence – the document that informed the beginning of our nation – established that all are "endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." The right to life is the most basic right, and Wendy will fight to ensure it is available for all. The pro-life movement made great strides this past year when Roe v. Wade was overturned, but Wendy recognizes there is much more work to do. She will fight for pro-life policies in Congress to protect the innocent and finally make America a country that respects the right to life." (wendyforindiana.com)
