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.
- "In the last few weeks, we've seen up close David Schweikert's continued hypocrisy on abortion rights. He not only voted for an abortion ban, but also co-sponsored a bill that would strip women's rights, including IVF. When he tells you who he is the first time, believe him." (x.com)
- "Today is the anniversary of Roe v Wade - a monumental decision that allowed women power over our own bodies. Now, extremist politicians like Schweikert want to pass a national abortion with no exceptions. It is up to us to fight for our girls. We must elect pro-choice leaders and we must codify Roe." (x.com)
- "Today is the anniversary of the catastrophic #Dobbs decision. As the only woman and mother in this race, I'll tell you this: I will fight like hell to preserve the rights of my daughter and my granddaughter." (x.com)
- "Today's draconian decision is sickening. Arizona women have lost legal access to abortion. We must pass the abortion initiative this fall to protect women across the state and we must flip the House with pro-choice champions to protect abortion rights at a national level." (x.com)
- "Itâs happening again - Schweikert and his MAGA puppet buddies are trying to rip away hard earned Social Security benefits and restrict abortion access. Enough is enough. Letâs retire him." (x.com)
- "Last week, the RSC - which Schweikert is part of - put out their proposed 2025 budget. Once again, their priorities are cutting hard earned Social Security benefits and advancing anti-choice legislation. Time to get these MAGA puppets out of office and get real grown ups in the room." (x.com)
- It is the 88th Anniversary of Social Security. Time to elect leaders who will always have the backs of our seniors, unlike David Schweikert and other extremists. In Congress I will always protect Social Security.." (x.com)
