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 am Pro-Life and will work in Congress to protect this precious first right." (www.martyforpa.com)
  • "President Trump and the conservatives in Congress took a major step toward economic freedom when they passed tax reform. Today, working families will see more in their paychecks and less going to wasteful programs for special interests. It’s a start, but we need to keep working. A simplified tax code and even lower rates will unleash the economic tiger and spur new employment, higher wages, and greater prosperity. I will work hard to keep the momentum going." (www.martyforpa.com)
  • "The men and women of our armed forces deserve all the support we can give them. The reason we fight wars "over there" is so we don’t have to fight them here at home. An unapologetically strong national defense is the best deterrent to the tyrants and madmen.  As your congressman, I will work to make sure our active duty soldiers are completely funded so they can carry out the dangerous task at hand.  I will make sure our veterans are not forgotten so they can receive effective and timely care long after their active duty ends." (www.martyforpa.com)
  • "While I am happy that the budget deal increased funding for our military and veterans, I am disappointed that it also added over $100 billion in other spending.  This threatens our economy and national security by increasing our national debt once again." (www.martyforpa.com)

  • "A government that allows business to grow is the only way to increase employment and raise the standard of living for our working families" (votesmart.org)
  • "I'll challenge the Department of Education's intrusions into local control of our schools." (votesmart.org)
  • Despite exhaustive research, Vote Smart was unable to find information about this candidate's position.
  • "I will fight to halt the job-crushing regulations and overreach of agencies such as the EPA" (votesmart.org)
  • "I am a hunter, gun owner, and strong supporter of our 2nd Amendment rights as a lifetime member of the NRA. I will work in Congress to prevent those who would undermine our rights." (www.martyforpa.com)
  • "The nightmare that is Obamacare is still the law of the land, and we need to bring it to a merciful end.  No law should be passed that only ends up taking away the doctor of your choice while raising rates on insurance that doesn’t meet your needs. The so-called Affordable Health Care Act is neither affordable nor does it deliver real health care. I will not let Congress drop this issue." (www.martyforpa.com)
  • "There can be no nations without borders. I understand the rich heritage of immigration in America, but also know that what makes America a nation is its laws. That’s why it’s so important that our newest citizens arrive here legally, follow the Constitution, and adhere to our rules. We can’t risk giving up our own tradition as a nation of laws by suspending them. That’s why I favor the kind of border security that will preserve order and allow everybody an equal chance." (www.martyforpa.com)
