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 2018.

  • "I'm honored to have National Right to Life's endorsement for my campaign. We should protect the innocent and defend the most vulnerable among us." (www.facebook.com)
  • "Our nation’s laws and policies should protect the innocent and defend the most vulnerable among us. We have a duty to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves. The future of our state and our nation depend on it. […] It really shouldn’t take political courage to stand up for innocent human life, but we have people in D.C. right now who are supporting extreme positions. And one of those Senators wants Missouri to re-elect her this fall. That’s why we need to keep fighting for life and that’s what I will do as Senator. Together we are a force – we must continue to defend the defenseless and help promote a culture of life throughout our great nation." (joshhawley.com)
  • "MO needs a senator who will fight to lower health care & education costs, who will vote to cut taxes not raise them. A senator who will support our President instead of obstruct his policies. Join our team to bring your voice back to D.C. #MOSen" (bit.ly)
