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 supporting abortions up to the moment of birth, the repeal of parental notification, and forcing taxpayers to foot the bill for abortions, Democrats and moderate Republicans have made it clear they are completely desensitized to the idea of abortion. These inhumane policies are why I left the Democratic Party. As socialists have taken over our party, more radical and more extreme pro-abortion voices are dominating our state." (www.rgj.com)
  • "This year, our nation has a historic opportunity to end the atrocity of abortion. On Dec. 1, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health case, a case I pray will overturn Roe v. Wade and deliver a historic victory for our nation, the unborn and the global pro-life movement." (www.rgj.com)
