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.

  • "When it comes to reproductive freedoms, today’s Republican politicians are just too extreme. They need to be reminded that a woman’s health care decisions belong between her and her doctor." (www.michaelbmoore.com)
  • "It has been one year since the Dobbs decision, and reproductive freedom remains under attack. When I get to Congress, I’ll always protect abortion rights — because I believe women should be free to make their own decisions about their health care." (x.com)
  • "On the one-year anniversary of the Dobbs ruling, let today be a reminder that a woman’s health care decisions belong between her and her doctor — not Republican politicians in Washington. As your member of Congress, I’ll work to restore rights to Americans — not take them away." (x.com)

  • "Speaking of our retirement communities here in #SC01, did you tell them about that time you tried to hold the American economy hostage in order to force cuts to Social Security and Medicare?" (x.com)

  • "It’s a perilous moment for American democracy. Respect for the rule of law is eroding. Partisan gerrymandering and election lies have undermined voting rights across the country. Too many politicians are putting party first, and too many families are feeling left behind, distrusting of institutions. Meanwhile, our lawmakers are turning inward — refusing to come together and collaborate on commonsense solutions for the Lowcountry. In Congress, I’ll work to help bridge these divides, restore faith in our government, and rehabilitate U.S. democracy in the 21st century." (www.michaelbmoore.com)

This district covers the majority of the state’s Atlantic shoreline, and sooner rather than later, our families and neighbors will bear a disproportionate burden of the climate crisis. For South Carolina, government inaction is no longer an option.
