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 2022.

  • "Defend Life: All human beings, from the moment of conception, are persons with intrinsic worth and possess the fundamental right to life. While Roe V Wade remains the law of the land, women in crisis situations should know the physical and emotional impacts of any decision she makes. She should have access to the best pregnancy education and care and knowledge of the numerous options available for the care of an unplanned child." (tinacannon.com)
  • "Good news, the people of Utah have spoken and our tax reform bill has been repealed! The bill was rushed, increased spending, and increased taxes. As your Rep. in D.C, I’ll fight for more permanent tax cuts." (twitter.com)
  • "Our current system of tax preferences and credits is too complex and encourages favoritism by allowing the government and special interest to pick winners and losers. As a tax accountant for small businesses for over 25 years, I have seen first-hand what Daniel Webster said: "The power to tax is the power to destroy or control." Onerous taxes punish and disincentivize hard-working Utahns." (tinacannon.com)

  • "No one is more deserving of a pay raise than our military. Thank you to the men and women in uniform who selflessly serve our country! #NDAA" (twitter.com)
  • "Strengthen Our National Defense: Weakness invites aggression. The United States must modernize and sustain its forces. The modernization of traditional military assets such as the missile defense systems (GBSD) and non-traditional, such as cybersecurity are crucial to ensuring our continued security." (tinacannon.com)
  • "Fight for Local Control: As a small business owner and county councilwoman, I know firsthand that the federal government can stifle growth and prosperity. It will be my duty as your representative in Congress to get the federal government out of your way, stop one size fits all policies, and manage our own resources," (tinacannon.com)
  • "As an elected official for a rural county, I understand that a well-functioning transportation system is a vital component of any rural economy. As your Member of Congress, I’ll ensure the fed gov’t helps facilitate local infrastructure projects" (twitter.com)
  • "Control Federal Spending: The federal government doesn’t have a revenue problem – it has a spending problem. Taxpayer dollars are wasted on special interests, fraud, corruption and bloated government programs. We need common sense changes and discipline in Washington. Firm budgets, closing loopholes, and increasing accountability will decrease spending and the national debt." (tinacannon.com)

  • "Education: Every parent deserves the chance to choose the education that best fits the unique learning needs of their child. Decisions about curriculum and spending are best made at the most local level possible. The Federal government has become too involved in education at the expense of individual students." (tinacannon.com)
  • Despite exhaustive research, Vote Smart was unable to find information about this candidate's position.
  • "Cut Federal Regulations: Not all regulations are unwarranted, but volumes of regulations lack rational justification and cost hundreds of billions of dollars per year. Regulations should be reviewed and approved by Congress, not created unilaterally by unelected officials." (tinacannon.com)
  • "Support the 2nd Amendment: The right of Americans to keep and bear arms is essential to a free society. Incidents of violence committed by dangerous provoke understandable revulsion and grief. However, lawmakers should not rush to create new laws that violate constitutional rights while ignoring the real root causes of complex societal problems or why these individuals commit such heinous crimes."

  • "Expand Heath Savings Accounts to be accessed for compensation replacement for employees without paid leave available. Encourage individuals and employers to set aside money for these types of situations. #StimulusPackage2020" (twitter.com)
  • "Prayers for this family. And also, let’s go ahead and build that big, beautiful wall between the United States and the narco-terrorists in Mexico. #BuildTheWall" (twitter.com)
  • "Advocate for Common-Sense Immigration Policy: Keeping our nation secure means providing a strong border defense. We have to know who is coming into our country, and how long they will be staying, it’s just common sense. Real immigration reform starts with serious attention and commitment from the executive branch to implement current laws. Amnesty does not address or fix the problem; it only piles unaffordable costs onto your already failing entitlement programs." (tinacannon.com)
  • "I applaud President Trump’s quick response to the attack on the U.S. embassy in Iraq, unlike the Obama administration’s response to the Benghazi attack which resulted in the loss of American lives. It’s time for terrorist organizations in the Middle East to start fearing the U.S" (twitter.com)
  • "I support the Senate on this vote. There are clear and separate powers for each of the three branches of government. The power to declare war should remain with congress. #Iran #War #Powers" (twitter.com)
