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 2020.
- "Reasonable regulations with the goal of balancing competing perspectives, and ensuring the health and safety of women, are necessary. But the role of the government is limited, and it violates women's rights when it attempts to criminalize abortion and completely deprive women of a lawful and safe way to obtain one. On this issue, I am very much a libertarian. Government should not be the one making these sorts of very personal decisions." (votesmart.org)
- "Call me crazy, but I think it is important that a billionaire Chief Magistrate pay more in income taxes than a minimum wage worker. " (twitter.com)
- "I do not trust large, all encompassing, one size fits all solutions to difficult problems. Too often they turn out to make things worse, not better. That is why I do not support a government run single payer system or Medicare for All." (votesmart.org)
- "Time for a constitutional amendment to require only public funding of all federal elections. #CitizensUnited #money #elections" (twitter.com)

- "They say all politics is local. We take that to heart. That is why we are focused on things that matter to the people who live hereâthings like healthcare, infrastructure, housing and education. Ignore the noise. Letâs focus on what is importantâmaking life better for everyone." (twitter.com)

- "Federal government does have a legitimate role to play in public and higher education. Federal education policy must encourage and assist state and local efforts to promote public education, not undermine it." (votesmart.org)
- "Everyone wants clean air, clean water and a clean place in which to live. The oil and gas industry wants these things as well. I reject as false the idea that we must choose between supporting our energy industry and addressing climate change. The oil and gas industry needs our support, not our condemnation. The production of oil and natural gas fuels our nation and the world. Energy independence is a laudable goal, and it is worth pursuing. Natural gas is the cleanest form of fossil fuel for power generation on a large scale that we have. It is not just going to go away or be replaced tomorrow. Eliminating the use of fossil fuels in our world in the near future is not a proposal that is based in reality." (votesmart.org)
- "My vision for the future of Texas and #TX11 is that we become the nationâs leader in the production of energy, both oil and gas, and renewable. These are not mutually exclusive. I am glad to see private industry seeing the future and leading the way." (twitter.com)
- "Renewable energy requires storage and a new storage facility is being built in #TX11 in Mason County. Investing in renewable energy is not just good for the environment. It means economic development and jobs for rural Texas." (twitter.com)
- "I have not analyzed this particular bill, but investing in research and development of carbon capture technology is the way we responsibly address climate change." (twitter.com)
- "We should invest in research and development, such as carbon capture technology, to further these efforts. It is improved technology in the oil and gas sector while developing new, more efficient and low cost sources of green energy at the same time, that will help us reduce carbon and methane emissions and heal our environment." (votesmart.org)
- "People buying and owning firearms does not bother me. What troubles me is when people misuse them to randomly slaughter innocent men, women and children. We need reasonable, effective procedures to prevent people who should not have access to firearms from getting them--such as the Bipartisan Background Check Act. The plague of violence and mass shootings is a multi-faceted problem. It is not caused by firearms. But a common sense approach to access and use of firearms will certainly be part of the solution." (votesmart.org)
- "Amending the Affordable Care Act to proved greater flexibility in the type of plans that people can choose from." (votesmart.org)
- "Go ask the Trump candidate what he plans to do about the need for affordable healthcare. Other than getting rid of the Affordable Care Act and your preexisting condition protections, leaving 25 million Americans uninsured, he has none." (www.facebook.com)

- "Fencing in high traffic, strategic locations, increased use of surveillance technology and investment in border and customs personnel will be less expensive, and go much further toward securing the border than the dream of constructing a continuous 2,000 mile long border wall." (votesmart.org)
- "Like Ronald Reagan, I believe that those who have lived here for decades, and that are part of our community, and are our friends and neighbors must be given a way to come into compliance with the law, without uprooting their families and abandoning their lives, property and investment in this country. Dreamers should be offered a path to permanent residency and citizenship." (votesmart.org)
