I believe the decision for reproductive healthcare, including elective abortion, should be legal and made by the individual. An individual should be allowed to make a personal medical decision without the interference of the government. I am a strong advocate for personal access to healthcare, and reproductive rights are fundamental healthcare rights.

Disagree

I do not support taxpayer-funded abortion, except in cases of rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother. I believe deeply personal decisions should be made by patients and doctors, while public funding should follow long-standing limits that reflect common ground.

Strongly Disagree

I do not believe that the Comstock Act should be enforced, as it restricts reproductive healthcare access across the country. Enforcing this outdated law would affect an individual's personal decision and legal right to access reproductive medical healthcare.

Agree

We should reduce spending in areas that we can but it depends on which funding we are considering.

My priorities are cutting wasteful defense spending while protecting readiness and veterans; tying federal investments to measurable outcomes; modernizing government and reducing unnecessary bureaucracy; advancing Take BAC Congress reforms to reduce conflicts of interest; and leveraging public-private partnerships so taxpayer dollars go further.

Disagree

To me, separation of church and state means that the government remains neutral and allows all citizens to practice their faith freely. The government does not favor one faith and makes decisions/policies that are unbiased, fair, and equal to all.

The view that most closely matches is option B. I believe healthcare is a human right and support expanding access to affordable, comprehensive coverage for every American. I support Medicare for All and strengthening Medicare and Medicaid, while protecting patients’ ability to choose their providers. The goal should be universal access, lower costs, and a system that puts patients ahead of insurance bureaucracy.

Agree

I agree with keeping a responsible database for research to reduce costs and better understand public needs. However, there needs to be strict privacy protections to ensure the safety of Americans. I believe in protecting individual right to privacy; this means enforcing HIPAA and other relevant laws.

The view that most closely resembles mine is B. The U.S. should uphold international law and the principle that borders cannot be changed by force. We should provide defensive aid that helps nations protect their people, territory, and democracy while avoiding open-ended military involvement. I support stronger congressional oversight and a balanced strategy of security, diplomacy, and humanitarian assistance.

Strongly Agree

Yes. Israel is a longstanding democratic ally, and the U.S. has an important commitment to its security. That partnership must also reflect our commitment to human rights and international law. I support a durable two-state solution that protects Israel’s security and Palestinian rights and dignity, with firm protections for civilians and security assistance conditioned on adherence to humanitarian standards.

Agree

Terrorism and violent extremism are serious threats to our national security, regardless of the ideology used to justify them. I support confronting terrorist organizations while ensuring our policies distinguish violent extremists from the millions of peaceful Muslim Americans who are part of our communities.

I believe that the Immigration policy should be firm, fair, and humane. I support immigration for Dreamers, TPS holders, and DED recipients, and for reducing family separation, keeping families together, and strengthening our economy. The United States should welcome people who are seeking asylum and safety, escaping from prosecution, and who want to contribute to our communities and economy.

Agree

Local governments should be able to protect community trust so victims and witnesses can work with law enforcement without unnecessary fear. I also believe immigration enforcement is primarily a federal responsibility and should be carried out lawfully, humanely, and with due process.

Strongly Disagree

Disagree

Foreign funding of American educational institutions should be transparent and subject to strong safeguards against improper influence or national-security risks. However, a blanket prohibition could unnecessarily restrict legitimate academic research, partnerships, and international collaboration.

It is my belief that a child is too young to make a decision like that which would permanently alter the rest of their lives. While I support each person’s right to choose the life that they want to live, I cannot in good conscience support activities that involve transitioning a child to the opposite sex.

Choose not to answer

For our family, we believe marriage is God-ordained, but I cannot impose my religious beliefs on another person nor can I restrict their access to rights because they don’t practice the same faith.

I was raised in a family of ministers and community advocates who taught me that faith is demonstrated through service, compassion, humility, and how we treat our neighbors. Those values continue to guide me as a husband, father, and public servant. I believe leadership means putting others first, respecting the dignity of every person, and working to leave our communities stronger than we found them.

Disagree

It’s reasonable to expect a person to identify themselves before voting, but it’s imperative that government remove barriers that prevent citizens from getting the ID that is necessary. We cannot require people to show birth certificates or passports at the polls because those documents are not easily accessible to every citizen. Doing that would be the same as having a poll tax.

Neutral

Neither agree nor disagree, as this is a loaded statement that needs to be parsed. These are complex issues that should not be addressed through a single blanket rule. Policies should protect individual dignity and equal rights while also taking legitimate questions of safety, privacy, and fairness seriously, with solutions appropriate to each setting.

I believe meeting growing electricity demand requires a diverse, reliable energy mix, technologies that can provide dependable, affordable power. By increasing capacity while lowering costs, strengthening grid reliability, and reducing emissions.

I support commonsense gun safety measures that protect the right of law-abiding citizens to own firearms while keeping guns out of dangerous hands. That includes universal background checks, safe-storage requirements, red-flag laws with due-process protections, and stronger measures to prevent domestic abusers and individuals who pose a demonstrated threat from accessing firearms. We can respect responsible gun ownership while taking meaningful steps to reduce gun violence.
