Strongly Disagree

I believe in protecting life and dignity at all stages, but the law must also respect personal freedom, medical realities, and the right of individuals to make deeply personal healthcare decisions without government interference.

Disagree

Families rely on IVF and other reproductive technologies to build their futures. These decisions should be guided by patients and medical professionals—not restricted by government mandates that could limit access to care.

Abortion should remain a legal and protected healthcare option, particularly in the early stages of pregnancy. Later-term cases are rare and complex, and decisions should be made based on medical necessity and the guidance of doctors and patients—not politicians.

Strongly Agree

Organizations like Planned Parenthood provide essential healthcare services, including cancer screenings, contraception, and preventive care. Public funding helps ensure that millions of people—regardless of income—can access basic healthcare.

Strongly Disagree

The Comstock Act is an outdated 19th-century law that should not be used to restrict access to modern, FDA-approved healthcare. Medical decisions should be based on current science and the needs of patients—not antiquated statutes.

Agree

Free enterprise and private property are important drivers of innovation and economic growth. At the same time, markets work best when paired with fair rules that ensure opportunity, prevent abuse, and allow working families to benefit from that growth.

Strongly Agree

Our tax system should be fair and reflect the realities of today’s economy. Those who have benefited the most should contribute more to support working families, invest in public services, and expand opportunity for everyone.

Agree

We should be fiscally responsible by reducing wasteful spending and improving efficiency. At the same time, we must protect critical investments in infrastructure, healthcare, and education that strengthen our economy and support long-term growth.

Modernize outdated government systems and digitize services to reduce administrative costs Strengthen oversight of federal contracts and prevent fraud and abuse Eliminate redundant programs across agencies with overlapping missions Improve procurement processes to ensure better value for taxpayer dollars Increase transparency so the public can track how funds are spent

Disagree

We must respect both religious freedom and equal access to services. No one should face discrimination in public life, but we should also be mindful of sincerely held beliefs. The goal is to strike a balance that protects individual rights while ensuring everyone is treated with dignity and fairness.

Separation of church and state means that government should not establish, favor, or interfere with any religion, while fully protecting every individual’s right to practice their faith freely. It ensures that public policy is guided by the Constitution and serves all people equally, regardless of their beliefs.

Everyone should have access to affordable, high-quality healthcare. A public option can expand coverage and lower costs while preserving choice for those who prefer private plans. The goal is universal access without limiting innovation or patient choice.

Strongly Disagree

Protecting personal medical privacy is essential. While data can help improve public health, it must be anonymized and handled with strict safeguards. The government should not maintain identifiable databases of individuals’ medical conditions that could risk privacy or misuse.

The United States should lead with its values while remaining strategic and measured. We should support allies, defend democracy, and stand against authoritarian threats—but avoid unnecessary conflicts and prioritize diplomacy, stability, and long-term global partnerships.

Strongly Agree

The Chinese Communist Party presents real challenges in areas like cybersecurity, intellectual property, and global economic competition. We must respond with strength—protecting our technology, supporting American workers, and working with allies—while avoiding escalation and maintaining stability.

Yes—the United States’ relationship with Israel is important as part of a broader commitment to stability, security, and democratic partnerships in the Middle East. At the same time, U.S. leadership should promote diplomacy, protect human rights, and work toward a just and lasting peace for both Israelis and Palestinians.

Terrorism in all forms is a threat to national security and must be taken seriously. At the same time, we must be clear that violent extremism does not represent any religion or the millions of peaceful, law-abiding Muslim Americans who are part of our communities. Our approach should focus on security, intelligence, and prevention—without promoting division or discrimination.

The United States should maintain a fair, orderly, and humane immigration system. We should welcome individuals who are seeking opportunity, reuniting with family, contributing skills to our economy, or fleeing violence and persecution. At the same time, we must modernize and streamline legal pathways, reduce backlogs, and ensure the system is efficient, secure, and grounded in the rule of law.

Strongly Agree

Sanctuary policies help build trust between local communities and law enforcement, making everyone safer. Cities should be able to focus on public safety without forcing local resources into federal immigration enforcement, while still respecting the law and protecting community stability.

Strongly Disagree

The federal government plays an essential role in ensuring equal access to quality education, protecting civil rights, and supporting students across all communities. While states and local districts should have flexibility, eliminating the U.S. Department of Education would risk deepening inequalities and reducing accountability.

Agree

Transparency and accountability are critical when it comes to foreign funding in education. We should ensure that any foreign involvement does not influence academic independence, compromise national security, or shape curricula in ways that are not in the best interest of students and the country.

Strongly Disagree

Healthcare decisions for young people should be made carefully by families, doctors, and mental health professionals based on established medical guidance. These are complex, deeply personal situations that require compassion—not government labeling or interference.

Strongly Disagree

Marriage is a legal institution that should be available to all consenting adults, regardless of gender. While individuals and faith communities are free to define marriage within their beliefs, the government must ensure equal rights and protections under the law.

I believe in values rooted in compassion, service, and respect for others. My approach to public service is guided by treating people with dignity, protecting individual freedoms, and working to build a more just and inclusive society for everyone.

Agree

Voting is a fundamental right, and no eligible voter should be turned away due to barriers like lack of identification. At the same time, we should continue to strengthen election integrity through secure, accessible systems that ensure both broad participation and public confidence in our elections.

Strongly Disagree

Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, including transgender individuals. Policies should be guided by fairness, safety, and inclusion, with decisions informed by experts, athletic organizations, and the needs of each setting. We can uphold both inclusion and fairness without targeting or excluding vulnerable communities.

Meeting growing electricity demand will require a diverse and reliable energy mix. Renewable sources like solar and wind are essential for the future, but they must be supported by energy storage, grid modernization, and stable baseline power such as

No

No

Moderate

I would describe myself as pragmatic and solutions-oriented. My views are grounded in expanding opportunity, protecting individual rights, and ensuring government works effectively for people. I focus on practical solutions that bring people together rather than ideological extremes.

Strongly Agree

Protecting children online is a critical responsibility. We should strengthen safeguards against exploitation, hold platforms accountable, and invest in enforcement and education—while also protecting privacy and ensuring policies are effective and responsibly implemented.

We should implement common-sense gun safety measures that protect the public while respecting responsible ownership. This includes universal background checks, closing loopholes in private and online sales, red flag laws to prevent access for individuals who pose a danger, safe storage requirements, and restrictions on weapons designed for mass harm. These steps can reduce gun violence while upholding the rights of law-abiding citizens.
