Strongly Disagree

I strongly disagree. I support reproductive freedom and believe deeply personal decisions about pregnancy, abortion, and end-of-life care should be made by individuals, families, and medical professionals — not by politicians. Government should protect people’s rights, dignity, privacy, and access to care.

Strongly Disagree

I strongly disagree. I support IVF, reproductive freedom, and medical research guided by ethical standards and informed consent. Decisions involving embryos created through artificial methods should be made by patients, families, and medical professionals — not by politicians imposing ideology on healthcare and family planning.

Elective abortion should be legal and accessible. These deeply personal medical decisions belong to the patient, their family, and their healthcare provider — not the government. I support protecting reproductive freedom, privacy, and access to care, including abortion services, without political interference.

Strongly Agree

I strongly agree. Planned Parenthood and other reproductive health providers deliver essential care, including cancer screenings, birth control, STI testing, and preventive services. Public funding should support access to comprehensive, affordable healthcare — especially for low-income patients and underserved communities.

Strongly Disagree

I strongly disagree. The Comstock Act is an outdated law that should not be used to restrict reproductive healthcare or abortion access. Patients should be able to receive legal medication and care without political interference. I support reproductive freedom, privacy, and the right to make personal medical decisions with a healthcare provider.

Disagree

Free enterprise and private property can play an important role in a productive economy, but they must be balanced with strong worker protections, fair wages, consumer safeguards, and corporate accountability. An economy should reward innovation and entrepreneurship while also protecting working families from exploitation and concentrated corporate power.

Strongly Agree

I strongly agree. The wealthy and large corporations should pay their fair share so we can invest in working families, healthcare, education, housing, and infrastructure. Our tax system should reduce inequality, ease the burden on everyday people, and ensure the economy works for those who do the work — not just those at the top.

Agree

Reducing the national debt matters, but across-the-board cuts are not the answer. We should cut wasteful military spending, corporate subsidies, and tax breaks for the wealthy — not investments in healthcare, education, housing, and services working families rely on. Fiscal responsibility should mean ending waste and corruption while protecting people’s basic needs.

My top priorities are: ending corporate tax loopholes and subsidies; cutting wasteful Pentagon spending and war profiteering; lowering prescription drug costs by taking on Big Pharma; improving oversight of federal contracts to prevent fraud and abuse; and streamlining bureaucracy so housing, healthcare, and infrastructure funds reach communities faster.

Strongly Agree

Religious freedom is important, but it should not be used to deny people equal access to public services, healthcare, housing, or basic civil rights. In a diverse democracy, everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and fairness under the law, regardless of someone else’s personal beliefs

To me, separation of church and state means government should not impose religion, favor one faith over another, or use public power to limit the rights of people with different beliefs or no religious belief at all. It protects both religious freedom and equal treatment under the law in a diverse democracy.

A. I believe healthcare is a human right, not a privilege. Everyone should be guaranteed comprehensive, affordable care, including mental health care, without being denied because of income, employment, or insurance status. Our system should put patients before profits and ensure healthcare is accessible to all.

Strongly Disagree

I strongly disagree. People’s medical information is deeply private and should be protected, not collected by the government in ways that could be misused or politicized. We can study healthcare costs and improve public health through anonymized data and strong privacy safeguards without creating databases that put personal rights and trust at risk.

C. I believe the United States has become too involved in military interventions abroad and should be far more restrained. Our foreign policy should prioritize diplomacy, peace, humanitarian aid, human rights, and avoiding unnecessary wars, while protecting our people and responding when there is a clear and serious threat.

Disagree

I disagree with framing this issue in overly broad or fear-driven terms. The U.S. should take cybersecurity, trade, and human rights concerns seriously, but our approach must be grounded in diplomacy, international cooperation, and avoiding rhetoric that fuels xenophobia or treats conflict as inevitable. We need smart, accountable policy — not escalation.

No. The United States should not treat any foreign government as beyond accountability or deserving of unconditional support. Our foreign policy should be rooted in human rights, international law, peace, and the protection of civilians — not blank checks for militarism, occupation, or abuses. We need an independent foreign policy that puts justice and diplomacy first.

Disagree

I disagree with framing this issue in a way that singles out one faith or fuels fear of entire communities. The United States should oppose all forms of violent extremism, regardless of ideology, while protecting civil liberties and rejecting Islamophobia. National security should focus on real threats without demonizing Muslim communities.

The U.S. should have a humane, orderly immigration system that protects asylum seekers, respects due process, keeps families together, and creates clear legal pathways for workers, students, and longtime undocumented residents. Immigration policy should be rooted in dignity, fairness, and human rights — not cruelty, fear, or political scapegoating.

Strongly Agree

I strongly agree. Sanctuary cities help build trust between immigrant communities and local government so people can report crimes, seek help, take their children to school, and access services without fear of deportation. Public safety is stronger when local institutions protect dignity, due process, and human rights instead of acting as extensions of federal immigration enforcement.

Strongly Disagree

I strongly disagree. Public education is a national responsibility, and the federal government plays an important role in protecting equal access, civil rights, special education, and support for low-income students. We should strengthen public education and invest in students, teachers, and schools — not abandon them to deeper inequality based on zip code.

Strongly Agree

I strongly agree. A blanket ban is too broad and could harm research, academic exchange, and educational partnerships. What we need is transparency, accountability, and strong safeguards against improper foreign influence — not fear-driven policies that undermine learning and collaboration. We should protect both academic integrity and open education.

Strongly Disagree

I strongly disagree. Transgender and gender-diverse young people deserve dignity, support, and access to evidence-based care guided by families and qualified medical professionals. Labeling their identity or care as abuse is harmful and dangerous. We should protect young people’s well-being, mental health, and civil rights — not scapegoat them for political gain.

Strongly Disagree

I strongly disagree. Marriage equality is a civil right, and the government must treat all people equally under the law, regardless of sexual orientation. Religious beliefs should be respected, but they should not be used to deny others equal protection, dignity, or the freedom to marry the person they love.

My values are rooted in honesty, accountability, empathy, service, and the belief that every person deserves dignity and respect. I respect people of all faiths and those with no religious affiliation. My public service is guided by compassion, justice, and a commitment to serving the common good.

Agree

I agree. Eligible voters should not be disenfranchised because they lack a specific form of photo ID. Election security matters, but it can be protected through multiple secure verification methods that do not create unnecessary barriers for seniors, low-income voters, students, rural residents, or working people. Our democracy should make it easier — not harder — for people to vote.

Strongly Disagree

I strongly disagree. Transgender people deserve dignity, safety, and equal protection under the law. Policies involving sports and access to facilities should be guided by fairness, evidence, and civil rights — not fear, discrimination, or political scapegoating. No one should be denied basic respect or turned into a target for political gain.

The most reliable path is a diversified clean energy system: solar, wind, geothermal, battery storage, and a modernized grid. In California and the Central Valley, we should expand renewable energy, transmission, and storage so working families have

No.

No.

Very Liberal

I am a progressive, community-centered Democrat focused on working families, civil rights, immigrant dignity, healthcare, and economic justice. My values are rooted in service, accountability, and the belief that government should work for ordinary people — not corporations, the wealthy, or special interests.

Agree

I agree. Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation online through strong privacy protections, platform accountability, age-appropriate safeguards, and enforcement against predators and trafficking. We should keep children safe while also protecting civil liberties and ensuring families have the tools and support they need.

We need universal background checks, waiting periods, safe storage laws, red flag laws with due process, stronger action against illegal gun trafficking, and restrictions on assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines. We can respect responsible gun ownership while also taking common-sense steps to reduce gun violence and protect our communities.
