Brett Guthrie

Strongly Agree

I am endorsed by the National Right to Life Association because of my consistent, pro-life voting record. I stand up for life – period. Nothing is more fundamental than the right to life. That’s why I consistently vote to ban abortions and to end taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood. Each child, born or unborn, is a gift from God and deserves nothing less than full protection. I will always fight for those who can’t speak for themselves and am proud to be endorsed by National Right to Life!

Strongly Disagree

The right to life isn’t contingent on how or when the baby was brought into existence. The fact of the matter is at the moment of conception, the miracle of life has begun and we must protect that child. If the mother’s life is in jeopardy, I support a doctor’s ability to take measures necessary to save the life of the mother.

Strongly Disagree

The redistribution of income is a socialist preference held by far too many Democrats in Congress. We must stop those who follow Bernie Sanders down this rabbit hole, which punishes working people.

Strongly Agree

Fiscal responsibility must be a priority. From skyrocketing inflation to our ballooning national debt, Joe Biden and his allies just don’t get it. The Green New Deal, an open border, socialist takeover of the health care system… everything they propose makes us worse off. I’m fighting to put America first, address inflation and stop the growing national debt. I also consistently vote in favor of a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution.

I supported President Trump’s agenda. Together, we cut taxes and had the best economy in 50 years under Trump. But now under Joe Biden, inflation is out of control and people are paying more everywhere they go. We have to stand up to Biden and get back to putting America First. That means keeping taxes low and respecting those who create jobs and get up and go to work everyday. There’s a war on work in this country, and I want to incentivize able-bodied people to be productive and work for a living. The Democratic plan is to do the opposite.

Strongly Agree

Religious liberty and religious freedoms are under attack from the radical left. We must safeguard our liberties with all of our hearts and strength.

Strongly Disagree

Every American must be allowed to practice and freely live their faith, privately and publicly, without any interference from the government. I hold sacred the text of the First Amendment and will defend it fiercely: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

Individuals must be allowed to choose, plain and simple. I was proud to support President Donald Trump’s leadership on Operation Warp Speed, which gave us the coronavirus vaccines in record time. But I strongly oppose Joe Biden’s mandates that would force anyone to take it.

C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. As ranking member on the House Energy & Commerce Health Subcommittee, I am the Senior Republican fighting Joe Biden and liberal Democrats’ plans to take away personal freedoms and ruin our healthcare system. My record is one of results, especially when it comes to fighting against a socialist takeover of our health system. My plan for health care is simple: stop the mandates and ensure personal freedoms are upheld, tackle rising drug prices, and continue combatting the drug epidemics that are killing KY families.

B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. I proudly served in the 101st Airborne during the Cold War and believe it is vital that we have a strong military. During my service in Washington, I’ve always fought for the men and women who serve, and for the veterans who came before them. That’s why I just supported a big pay raise for our troops and an increase in their resources to stand up to our enemies, like China and Russia. Ultimately, our foreign policy should be to do what is in the best interest of the American people. I believe in America First, and sometimes that means intervening and sometimes it doesn’t. The question is do we have a Commander in Chief with the judgment to know the difference. Under Joe Biden, I fear we don’t.

Strongly Disagree

Strongly Agree

China is working hard to take over America’s place in the world. We must always stay vigilant. In Congress, I am leading legislation that will protect Americans from Chinese attacks. China is our adversary, and we need to wake up to their intrusions on our way of life before it is too late.

Biden’s failed departure from Afghanistan gave Islamic terrorists a boost they hadn’t seen in years. We must always stay vigilant and protect our borders from radical Islamic terrorists who are relentless in finding ways to attack us. Their threats are serious, and we cannot allow them to slip through our defenses.

Strongly Agree

Joe Biden's open border policy is killing Kentuckians, and I'm fighting back. I support the Trump plan because it was working. Build the Wall. Stop the Drugs and the Criminals. Put America First. I promise I won’t stop fighting until Kentuckians are safe from Biden’s border disaster. I voted with Trump down the line on border security. I visited the southern border recently, and the agents there told me the number one thing we can do to help them is “build the wall.”

Strongly Agree

America is a beacon of hope for millions around the world. To keep it that way, we must secure the border and make sure those who want to come here do it the right way. Democrats are more worried about keeping criminals out of jail than they are about securing our border and keeping drugs out of our communities. The Guthrie/Trump Immigration plan works: Build the Wall. Stop the Drugs and the Criminals. Put America First. The United States should be open to those who wish to respect our laws, and closed to those who want to break our laws and jump ahead of those people who are trying to immigrate the right way.

Strongly Disagree

All Kentuckians should abide by federal and state laws when it comes to discrimination. I do not agree with allowing biological males to compete against women and girls in sports. It is demeaning to women to allow this to happen, especially in high school and college sports.

Strongly Disagree

I am a strong supporter of our local schools and the teachers who show up each day to give our kids the best chance at a bright future. But the attempted takeover of schools by Joe Biden and his liberal allies who want to teach our kids that they are racist cannot continue. I strongly oppose critical race theory and want to keep it out of our local schools. I am fighting these destructive ideas coming from the Biden White House and I will always protect parents’ rights to speak up at schools.

I am a practicing Christian and attend the Church of Christ in Bowling Green, KY. I believe in Jesus Christ as my personal savior. In Washington, Joe Biden and the liberal Democrats are working against the values we hold dear. I’m pro-life. I believe in the second amendment. I believe in freedom, lower taxes, and in the American dream. But those values are under assault, and it is up to us – as Kentuckians – to fight back. I’m proud to be endorsed by the National Rifle Association and the National Right to Life Committee for my work, and I promise to never stop fighting for you.

Strongly Disagree

Stopping ballot fraud and ensuring the integrity of our elections is one of my top priorities. To protect American democracy, we need to stand up to the woke liberal media and make it easy to vote and hard to cheat. If you have to show an ID to get on an airplane, why shouldn’t you have to show one to vote? Seems like common sense to me.

Strongly Disagree

Racism has no place in our society. The attempt by liberal Democrats to ascribe racism to all of their political opponents is despicable.

Strongly Agree

A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. Biden shut down the Keystone Pipeline in the name of climate change, and yet is out begging dictators in Venezuela and Iran for more oil. The commonsense approach is to simply produce more energy in America! We were energy independent under Donald Trump, and now Biden is out begging the worst countries in the world for their oil. Biden is weak and pathetic on energy. It’s time we put America first!

Very Conservative

In Washington, our shared Kentucky values are under assault. I’m pro-life. I believe in the second amendment. I believe in freedom, lower taxes, and in the American dream. I’m proud to be endorsed by the National Rifle Association and the National Right to Life Committee for my work, and I promise to never stop fighting for you.

NO

I’m fighting to stop the disastrous Joe Biden agenda, and to leave behind a better world for our children and grandchildren. That’s the American Dream to me – building a life and a family that strengthens our community and leaves Kentucky in better shape than I found it. But Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi are doing everything they can to ruin this country and Republicans must stop them. I will always fight to put America First by: - Securing the border, building the wall, and stopping the flow of illegal drugs - Stopping ballot fraud and ensuring election integrity - Creating jobs and rebuilding the economy - Protecting conservative values. I’m 100% pro-life and pro-Second Amendment - Holding Dr. Fauci accountable for misleading the country - Stopping vaccine mandates and ensuring medical freedom - Fighting against Critical Race Theory in schools and for parental involvement

Strongly Agree

I back the blue. Our cops are under attack from liberals who want to “defund the police” and give criminals every advantage. We have an epidemic of violent crime, and my plan is simple: back the blue and crack down on criminals who make our communities less safe.

Strongly Disagree

Violent crime is on the rise. Yet, radical Democrats want to defund the police. Unfortunately, I serve in Congress with some members who do more for violent criminals than the brave men and women who protect our communities. We have to fight back. My plan is simple – back the blue. FUND the police. Take care of the public servants who guard our families and homes. If Pelosi and the liberals win this November, you can bet crime will get even worse under a party that wants to defund the police.

I am proud to be endorsed by the National Rifle Association for my work to stop Joe Biden and the liberals from taking away our 2nd Amendment rights. I am a strong supporter of the individual right to keep and bear arms, and I work with the NRA in Congress to stop radical Democrats from scheming to take away or restrict your freedoms.

Strongly Disagree
