Seth Moulton is currently being tested through the 2024 Political Courage Test.
Yes | In order to balance the budget, do you support an income tax increase on any tax bracket? | ||
Yes | Do you support expanding federal funding to support entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare? |
Yes | Do you support the regulation of indirect campaign contributions from corporations and unions? |
No | Do you support the protection of government officials, including law enforcement officers, from personal liability in civil lawsuits concerning alleged misconduct? | ||
|
|||
I support eliminating the defense of qualified immunity in civil actions for deprivation of rights and narrowing it so that a more appropriate bar for misconduct can be set. |
No | Do you support increasing defense spending? | ||
We can shrink our defense budget and modernize our national defense with smart, strategic cuts, not across-the-board cuts that affect the men and women on the front lines. |
Yes | Do you support federal spending as a means of promoting economic growth? | ||
No | Do you support lowering corporate taxes as a means of promoting economic growth? | ||
Yes | Do you support providing financial relief to businesses AND/OR corporations negatively impacted by the state of national emergency for COVID-19? | ||
I do not support lowering corporate taxes as a means of promoting economic growth, except in narrowly-targeted ways that support innovation and investment in small and new businesses. Billionaire corporations are not paying their fair share and need to. I do support support providing financial relief to businesses and/or corporations negatively impacted by the state of national emergency for COVID-19, but targeted to the small, local businesses that drive our local economy, not billionaire corporations. |
Yes | Do you support government funding for the development of renewable energy (e.g. solar, wind, geo-thermal)? | ||
Yes | Do you support the federal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions? |
No | Do you support repealing the 2010 Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare")? | ||
Yes | Do you support requiring businesses to provide paid medical leave during public health crises, such as COVID-19? |
No | Do you support the construction of a wall along the Mexican border? | ||
No | Do you support requiring immigrants who are unlawfully present to return to their country of origin before they are eligible for citizenship? | ||
I do not support requiring immigrants who are unlawfully present to return to their country of origin before they are eligible for citizenship, but we need an immigration policy that attracts and rewards immigrants for coming here lawfully and reduces illegal immigration. |
Yes | Should the United States use military force to prevent governments hostile to the U.S. from possessing a weapon of mass destruction (for example: nuclear, biological, chemical)? | ||
Yes | Do you support reducing military intervention in Middle East conflicts? | ||
I do support reducing military intervention in Middle East conflicts, but not to the detriment of our national security. |
Yes | Do you generally support removing barriers to international trade (for example: tariffs, quotas, etc.)? | ||
I do generally support removing barriers to international trade, but in ways that expand environmental and labor standards to our competitors overseas, not undermining American workers. |
