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.

  • "It's not about being OK or not OK with abortion. It's about the fact that NV's state law is set in stone -- and abortion is a state issue as a result of the Dobbs decision. So I respect the state law. As a member of Congress, I'll have nothing to do with abortion" (x.com)
  • "Like Susie Lee, I will protect IVF and respect Nevada's abortion law -- unlike Rep. Lee, I will protect women in sports, secure our borders, and reduce inflation by slashing energy costs and eliminating pork projects" (x.com)
  • "Nevada allows abortion to 24 weeks and there's NOTHING anyone can do to change that. I will fight to protect IVF and oppose any efforts to ban or restrict fertility treatments." (x.com)

  • "Drew will stand up for America’s seniors and ensure they receive the Social Security benefits they worked for their whole lives, while making the program solvent for future generations." (drewfornevada.com)
  • "The 34% of Americans with incomes under $50,000 pay 2.5% of all federal income taxes. The top 1% of Americans pay 46% of all income taxes. Seems pretty fair already." (x.com)
  • "This #TaxDay, remember I'm the ONLY candidate for Congress in America who has worked at @NTU, @Protectaxpayers, and @GovWaste to identify wasteful spending, reduce our debt, and fight for lower taxes. Not only did I sign the @taxreformer ATR Pledge, I used to administer it!" (x.com)

  • "Everyone deserves to feel safe and protected. Defunding the police is simply not the solution to maintaining the accountable, responsible, and effective police department our community demands. Drew is unwavering in his support of law enforcement, fire and rescue, paramedics, corrections, and the military, and will ensure that resources needed by our First Responders are not diverted to less vital programs." (drewfornevada.com)
  • "Instead of finding a reasonable bipartisan solution to ensure our military is funded, Congressional Democrats like my opponent Susie Lee would rather play politics and stall the passage of the National Defense Authorization Act. This is why change is needed now more than ever in Washington." (x.com)
  • "Americans are hurting because of bad policy decisions made by our leaders in Washington. For too long, our federal government has been printing money we don’t have to pay for things we don’t need. The result is the dramatic inflation that is devastating our country. There is no one better prepared to tackle this challenge. As one of America’s best-known and most-effective government watchdogs, Drew has exposed billions of dollars in wasteful government spending and saved taxpayers more than $60 billion in my career."

  • "The lack of affordable housing is one of the most serious issues facing Southern Nevada. While housing prices are up across the United States, Clark County’s lack of housing supply is unique. The federal government owns or controls 89% of all land in Clark County. As a result, new construction is extremely limited, meaning supply has no way of keeping up with demand. The result is skyrocketing home prices, a huge increase in the homeless population, and home ownership becoming an impossible dream for too many young, minority, and lower-income residents. While some federal land is slowly being made available for development, Drew will encourage the Bureau of Land Management to release more property to private hands, while continuing to protect land designated for natural resource conservation and recreation. This will put homes within reach for Southern Nevada’s residents" (drewfornevada.com)

  • "It's not fair to take money from the 78% of Southern Nevada residents who don't have a college degree & give it to dead-beat college graduates who want someone else to pay their debt. I proudly stand with lawmakers who opposed Biden's outrageous $400 billion student loan bailout" (x.com)
  • "Great meeting new supporters in Sun City Summerlin & gathering signatures to put voter ID on the ballot in Nevada." (x.com)
  • "I'm so thankful for amazing volunteers across CD-3 who are collecting signatures to require voter ID in Nevada and telling people about my fight to bring accountability and individual liberty to Washington, DC." (x.com)
  • "America’s electric and fuel prices are soaring because our leaders have turned their backs on abundant, cleaner-burning natural gas in favor of unreliable, heavily subsidized, and unbelievably expensive green energy options. Environmentally friendly energy sources have their place, but not at the expense of dramatically increasing the cost of living for lower-income Americans." (drewfornevada.com)
  • "What does limiting domestic energy production and promoting green energy boondoggles mean for you here in Southern Nevada? Well, it means you're paying $5.16 for a gallon of gas." (x.com)

  • "In 2022, I earned the endorsement of the Nevada Firearms Coalition for my unwavering commitment to the Second Amendment. As a member of Congress, I will always defend your right to keep and bear arms." (x.com)
  • "My opponent attacks me for my thoughtful criticisms of gun-free zones. Today's shooting in an Oakland school proves why I'm right. A "Gun-Free Zone" sign doesn't stop a bad person with a gun from going into a school to murder children...but good people with guns do." (x.com)

  • "It is crucial that we secure our southern border to stop the flow of violent cartels, human traffickers, and deadly Fentanyl into our communities, while making it easier to welcome immigrants willing to come into the country legally to live their American Dream." (drewfornevada.com)
  • "Laken Riley is dead today because the open border policies championed by @RepSusieLee and Joe Biden allowed her murderer, Jose Antonio Ibarra, to illegally cross the border. Lee & Biden believe that rushing criminals like Ibarra into America without proper vetting was worth this young woman's life. Enough is enough. I will fight to close the border." (x.com)

  • "Here's a hot financial tip: Buy VPN stocks. Once Congress finishes its well-intentioned, but completely idiotic and inappropriate TikTok ban, every teenager in America will just use a VPN to get around the ban and continue using TikTok." (x.com)
  • "the TikTok ban constitutes the single largest silencing of speech in human history." (x.com)
