OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
Congress should repeal the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare).
Strongly Agree
iVoterGuide Notes:
"I'm for outright repeal," added U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Huntsville. Brooks, meanwhile, criticized the Senate bill pushed by Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell as something that "changes almost daily."
Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.
Strongly Agree
iVoterGuide Notes:
Brooks: "I have thought long and hard about abortion and have reached this conclusion: life begins at conception. Scientific and medical evidence confirms this view. Realizing this, I am, and always have been, pro-life. If I am to err, I am going to err on the side of otherwise defenseless unborn children. I will continue to vote to protect America’s unborn children. Further, I have and will continue to vote to stop subsidies of abortions with taxpayer dollars."
I am in favor of construction of a wall and other necessary infrastructure on our border that gives complete control over entering and exiting the United States.
Strongly Agree
iVoterGuide Notes:
(Brooks) promised that, if elected, he would filibuster every bill that doesn't contain funding for Trump's border wall. "We're going to build that wall, or you'll know the name of every Republican who surrenders to the Democrats to break my filibuster," Brooks said. "I give you my word, and I don't give my word lightly."
The U.S. military should wait for militant Islamic groups to directly threaten our national security on our shores, rather than eradicate them now wherever they may be worldwide.
Strongly Disagree
The United States must maintain a nuclear arsenal that is safe, reliable, modern and numerically superior to those of potential adversaries.
Strongly Agree
I support legislation such as the First Amendment Defense Act (FADA) that would prohibit discrimination against individuals, organizations and small businesses because of their belief that marriage is only a union of one man and one woman.
Strongly Agree
iVoterGuide Notes:
Brooks co-sponsored H.R.2802 - the First Amendment Defense Act in the 114th Congress.
The federal government should establish Common Core as a nationwide academic standard for high school graduation.
Strongly Disagree

Strongly Agree
More restrictive gun control laws are needed to protect public safety.
Strongly Disagree
