Agree

I believe every human life has inherent dignity and value from conception until natural death. At the same time, I recognize that these are deeply personal and often difficult decisions for families. My approach is to support policies that reduce the need for abortion by expanding access to quality health care, prenatal care, maternal and infant services, adoption resources, and economic support for families, while ensuring compassionate care and dignity for people at every stage of life.

Agree

I believe human embryos created through artificial reproductive technologies should be treated with dignity and respect. I support ethical standards that minimize the creation of excess embryos, encourage responsible fertility practices, and discourage their purposeful destruction while continuing to support families seeking to build their families through assisted reproductive technologies.

I believe decisions about abortion are deeply personal and should be made by a woman, her family, and her medical provider, not by politicians. Every situation is unique, and families deserve the ability to make these difficult decisions based on medical guidance, their values, and their individual circumstances.

Agree

I support ensuring that people have access to preventive and reproductive health care, including cancer screenings, contraception, STI testing and treatment, and other essential services. Public funding should support access to these lawful health services for eligible patients, consistent with existing law. Decisions about reproductive health care should remain between patients, their families, and their medical providers.

Strongly Disagree

I do not believe the Comstock Act should be used to restrict access to legally prescribed reproductive health care. Patients should be able to access lawful medications prescribed by a licensed medical provider. Decisions about reproductive health care should remain between patients, their families, and their medical providers, not be dictated by the application of a 19th-century law to modern medical practice.

Agree

I believe free enterprise and private property are fundamental to a strong economy. Entrepreneurs, workers, and innovators should have the opportunity to build wealth and create jobs. At the same time, markets work best when there is fair competition, consumer protections, and accountability, ensuring everyone has a fair opportunity to succeed and that economic growth benefits communities across the country.

Agree

I believe our tax system should be fair and reward work. Those with the greatest ability to pay should contribute their fair share so we can invest in priorities that strengthen the middle class and create opportunity. I support targeted tax relief for working families, small businesses, and seniors while ensuring the wealthiest individuals and large corporations cannot avoid paying what they owe through loopholes or preferential treatment.

Neutral

I believe the federal government has a responsibility to be fiscally responsible and accountable in how it spends taxpayer dollars. Reducing the national debt should come through responsible budgeting, eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse, and making smart investments that strengthen our economy. We should protect Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, education, and other essential services while ensuring taxpayer dollars are used efficiently to build stronger communities.

My priorities are to modernize government agencies through technology and streamlined operations, strengthen oversight to prevent corruption and ensure accountability, partner with effective community organizations instead of creating duplicative federal programs, and eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse through regular audits and performance-based budgeting. Taxpayer dollars should be spent responsibly to strengthen our economy and communities.

Neutral

I believe both religious liberty and equal access to goods and services are fundamental American values. We should protect the free exercise of sincerely held religious beliefs while ensuring that people are not subject to unlawful discrimination. When these rights come into conflict, the goal should be to find solutions that respect constitutional protections, uphold the rule of law, and treat everyone with dignity and fairness.

To me, separation of church and state means the government should not establish or favor any religion, and no one should be required to practice a particular faith. It protects both religious freedom and the freedom not to practice a religion. People of faith should be free to bring their values into public life, but our laws should serve all Americans and uphold the constitutional rights of everyone, regardless of their beliefs.

B. I support making affordable, government-funded health insurance available to everyone who wants it while preserving the option to choose private health insurance. I also support protecting and strengthening Medicare and Medicaid, lowering prescription drug costs, expanding access to preventive and mental health care, and ensuring no one is denied quality care because of their income or pre-existing conditions.

Strongly Disagree

I do not support creating a government database that tracks individuals' ongoing medical conditions for this purpose. Patients have a right to medical privacy. Policymakers can assess health care costs and improve outcomes by using de-identified, aggregated data that protects personal privacy while informing sound public policy.

**C, with strategic engagement.** My priority is protecting America's security and interests while avoiding unnecessary military conflicts. The United States should focus on diplomacy, strong alliances, humanitarian assistance, and targeted support for democratic partners when doing so advances our national security. Military intervention should be a last resort, reserved for defending the United States, honoring treaty obligations, or responding to clear threats.

Agree

Yes. The Chinese Communist Party presents significant challenges to the United States in areas including cybersecurity, intellectual property theft, military competition, and economic influence. We should respond by strengthening our national security, protecting American innovation, investing in domestic manufacturing and critical supply chains, and working with our allies to promote a stable, rules-based international order while maintaining diplomatic engagement where appropriate.

Yes. The U.S.-Israel relationship is an important strategic partnership that advances regional security, intelligence cooperation, and economic innovation. I support Israel's right to exist and defend itself while also supporting the dignity, security, and human rights of the Palestinian people. Lasting peace requires diplomacy, humanitarian protections, and a negotiated solution that provides security and self-determination for both Israelis and Palestinians.

Agree

Yes. Violent extremist organizations that claim to act in the name of Islam, like other terrorist groups motivated by extremist ideologies, pose a threat to U.S. national security. We must remain vigilant against terrorism while recognizing that the overwhelming majority of Muslims reject violence and should never be stigmatized because of their faith.

The United States should maintain a secure, orderly, and humane immigration system. I support legal immigration through family reunification, employment, education, and humanitarian protections for those fleeing persecution. We should strengthen border security, modernize our immigration system, reduce processing backlogs, and provide an earned pathway to legal status for long-term undocumented immigrants who pass background checks, pay taxes, and meet established requirements.

Agree

I support protecting individuals who are undocumented and are actively pursuing legal status through the immigration process. Local governments should have the flexibility to build trust between law enforcement and immigrant communities. Immigration enforcement should be humane, focused on public safety, and paired with a fair, efficient pathway for eligible individuals to obtain legal documentation.

Strongly Disagree

Public education is a shared national responsibility, and the U.S. Department of Education plays an important role in protecting students' civil rights, supporting students with disabilities, expanding access to higher education, and ensuring equitable educational opportunities. States and local communities should continue leading education policy, but the federal government should remain a strong partner in helping every child succeed, regardless of where they live.

Strongly Agree

American education should remain independent of foreign government influence. Schools and universities should be transparent about foreign funding and partnerships, safeguard academic freedom, protect research and intellectual property, and ensure that educational decisions are made in the best interests of students and the United States.

Neutral

I do not believe it is appropriate to broadly characterize all efforts to support a transgender or gender-diverse child as child abuse. Decisions involving a child's care should be guided by parents or guardians, qualified medical and mental health professionals, and the child's best interests. At the same time, I support age-appropriate care, informed consent, and careful medical oversight for any significant medical interventions involving minors.

Strongly Disagree

I respect that many faith traditions define marriage as a sacred union between one man and one woman. At the same time, I believe in the constitutional separation of church and state and support the legal right of consenting adults to marry regardless of sexual orientation. Religious institutions should remain free to define and perform marriage according to their own beliefs, while civil law should protect equal rights under the law.

My Christian faith is the foundation of my life and my commitment to public service. I believe every person is created in the image of God and deserves dignity, compassion, and opportunity. My values are guided by service, integrity, justice, and love for my neighbor. While my faith shapes my character and decisions, I also believe elected leaders have a responsibility to represent and protect the constitutional rights of people of all faiths and those with no religious affiliation.

Neutral

I believe every eligible citizen should be able to vote without facing unnecessary barriers. I support secure elections, but I also support making voting accessible by allowing multiple ways to verify a voter's identity, including alternatives to photo identification for those who do not have one. Election security and voter access should go hand in hand.

Neutral

I believe policies should protect privacy, safety, and dignity for everyone. Different settings, including competitive sports, shelters, prisons, and schools, present different considerations, so a one-size-fits-all approach is not appropriate. I support evidence-based policies that balance fairness, safety, and individual rights while treating every person with respect and complying with the law.

Meeting growing electricity demand requires a diverse energy mix. I believe nuclear power is the most reliable source of carbon-free baseload electricity, complemented by investments in renewables, grid modernization, energy storage, and efficiency.

No

No

Lean Liberal

I support fiscal responsibility, government accountability, and a strong national defense while also supporting reproductive freedom, voting rights, LGBTQ+ equality, legal immigration reform, public education, environmental stewardship, and expanded access to health care. My approach emphasizes pragmatic, evidence-based solutions over ideological extremes.

Strongly Agree

Protecting children from online sexual exploitation is a fundamental responsibility. I support stronger laws against online predators, increased resources for law enforcement, greater accountability for technology companies, and age-appropriate safeguards that protect children while respecting privacy and constitutional rights.

I support universal background checks, closing loopholes that allow prohibited individuals to obtain firearms, extreme risk protection orders with due process, safe storage requirements, and stronger enforcement against illegal gun trafficking. I also support protecting the constitutional rights of responsible, law-abiding gun owners.
