Disagree

I believe these deeply personal medical decisions should be made by women, their families, and their physicians rather than dictated by government. I would not support laws that criminalize women or physicians for good-faith medical decisions. Instead, we should expand healthcare, childcare, education, and family support so people have the resources to make informed decisions.

Neutral

Assisted reproductive technologies involve complex medical and ethical considerations. I believe patients, their families, and their physicians are best positioned to make these decisions, rather than broad government mandates or criminal penalties.

Decisions regarding pregnancy should be made by women, their families, and their physicians based on the specific medical circumstances involved. I would not support laws that criminalize women or physicians for good-faith medical decisions. Rather than imposing one-size-fits-all government mandates, we should expand healthcare, childcare, education, and other supports that empower families to make informed decisions.

Agree

I support universal healthcare and believe people should have access to comprehensive medical care. Medical decisions should remain between patients, their families, and their physicians. Public healthcare funding should ensure access to medically appropriate care while leaving treatment decisions to patients and their physicians.

Strongly Disagree

I do not believe the federal government should use the Comstock Act to interfere with medical decisions made by women, families, and their physicians. I would not support criminal penalties against women or healthcare professionals acting in good faith to provide or receive medical care.

Agree

I support entrepreneurship, innovation, and private property rights. Free markets work best when competition is fair and consumers are protected. Government has an important role in preventing monopolistic behavior, enforcing fair competition, protecting consumers, and investing in infrastructure that allows businesses and families to thrive.

Strongly Agree

Working families should not bear a disproportionate share of the tax burden while billionaires and large corporations exploit loopholes. I support a tax system that asks those with the greatest ability to contribute a fair share while providing meaningful relief to working families, seniors, veterans, and the middle class.

Neutral

Reducing the national debt requires responsible budgeting, but not across-the-board cuts. I support eliminating waste, fraud, abuse, and wasteful expenditures while continuing to invest in healthcare, education, infrastructure, public safety, and effective government oversight that benefit the American people.

• Reduce unnecessary overseas military spending and prioritize investments that directly benefit Americans. • Modernize government technology and reduce outdated bureaucracy to improve efficiency. • Strengthen inspectors general, auditors, and oversight offices to detect fraud, waste, and abuse. • Eliminate duplication across federal programs while protecting essential public services. • Increase transparency, accountability, and competition in government contracting and procurement.

Neutral

Religious liberty and equal treatment under the law are both fundamental American values. When these values come into conflict, the goal should be to protect constitutional rights while ensuring people have meaningful access to goods and services without discrimination. One-size-fits-all solutions rarely address the complexity of these situations.

Separation of church and state means government should neither establish nor favor any religion, and every American should be free to practice their faith—or no faith—without government interference. It protects both religious liberty and the neutrality of government, allowing people of all beliefs to participate equally in our democracy.

My position is closest to A because I believe healthcare should be guaranteed for every American. I support eliminating unnecessary insurance middlemen and ensuring everyone has access to comprehensive healthcare comparable to the healthcare coverage available to members of Congress. My priority is ensuring every American can receive quality healthcare regardless of their ability to pay.

Disagree

Public health research is important, but it should protect individual privacy. I support using de-identified and aggregated health data to improve healthcare policy while safeguarding medical confidentiality and civil liberties. Government should not maintain broad centralized databases of identifiable individuals with ongoing medical conditions except where clearly authorized by law and necessary for specific public health purposes.

My position is closest to C. Congress must reclaim its constitutional responsibility over war powers. The United States should prioritize protecting our own people and national interests while pursuing diplomacy first. Military intervention should be reserved for situations involving clear congressional authorization or imminent threats, and foreign policy should consistently uphold human rights, civilian protection, and international law.

Agree

The Chinese Communist Party presents significant challenges involving cybersecurity, intellectual property theft, economic competition, and regional security. The United States should respond by strengthening cybersecurity, protecting American innovation, investing in domestic manufacturing and research, and working with allies while avoiding unnecessary military escalation.

The relationship between the United States and Israel is important, as are our relationships with other allies. U.S. foreign policy should be guided by constitutional accountability, diplomacy, human rights, civilian protection, and the national interest. I believe military assistance should be conditioned on compliance with international law and humanitarian standards while supporting diplomacy that reduces violence and protects civilians.

Strongly Agree

Terrorism motivated by extremist ideologies, including violent Islamist extremist organizations, remains a national security concern. The United States should continue working with international partners to prevent terrorism while protecting constitutional rights and avoiding policies that unfairly stigmatize entire religious communities. Our focus should remain on violent extremists, not on people of any faith.

The United States should maintain secure borders while providing fair, orderly, and efficient legal pathways for immigration, asylum, family reunification, employment, and humanitarian protection consistent with our laws and international obligations. Immigration decisions should be based on due process, public safety, and human dignity. Enforcement should focus on genuine threats to public safety rather than indiscriminate or politically motivated actions.

Neutral

Public safety and due process should both be protected. Local governments should be able to build trust between law enforcement and immigrant communities while coordinating with federal authorities on serious criminal matters consistent with the law. Immigration enforcement should prioritize genuine threats to public safety while respecting constitutional rights and due process.

Strongly Disagree

I support strong local and state involvement in education, but the federal government plays an essential role in protecting civil rights, supporting students with disabilities, expanding educational opportunity, conducting research, and ensuring equal access to education. I believe the Department of Education should be improved and held accountable—not eliminated.

Neutral

Transparency and accountability are essential whenever foreign governments provide funding to American educational institutions. Funding arrangements should be publicly disclosed, comply with U.S. law, protect academic independence, and avoid improper foreign influence while preserving legitimate research, educational collaboration, and academic freedom.

Neutral

Every child deserves compassionate, evidence-based medical care. Parents should be fully informed and involved, and medical decisions involving minors should be made by families and qualified healthcare professionals based on the individual circumstances of each child. I do not believe Congress should substitute its judgment for that of families and their physicians on complex medical questions, provided the child's safety and well-being remain the priority.

Strongly Disagree

Marriage holds deep religious significance for many faith traditions, and those beliefs should be respected. At the same time, the Constitution protects equal treatment under the law. Government should not establish one religious definition of marriage for everyone. Religious institutions should remain free to define marriage according to their own beliefs, while civil marriage should remain available equally under the law.

I am a practicing Catholic, and my Catholic faith teaches me the importance of compassion, service, humility, and respect for the dignity of every person. My public service is guided by values of honesty, accountability, stewardship, and caring for those in need. At the same time, I believe government should protect the religious freedom of all Americans—including those of different faiths and those with no religious affiliation—and remain neutral among religions under the Constitution.

Agree

Every eligible citizen should be able to vote without unnecessary barriers. States should make voting accessible while maintaining confidence in election integrity. If identification is required, governments should provide it free of charge, ensure reasonable alternatives for those who lack photo identification, and ensure identification requirements do not disenfranchise eligible voters.

Neutral

These issues involve competing concerns about privacy, safety, fairness, and equal treatment. I do not believe one blanket rule appropriately addresses every situation. Policies should be developed thoughtfully using evidence, constitutional protections, and the specific circumstances involved, while respecting the dignity, safety, and rights of everyone affected.

America should pursue an all-of-the-above energy strategy: renewables, energy storage, grid modernization, and reliable baseload power. Advanced nuclear technologies that prove safe, affordable, and environmentally responsible should also be consider

No.

No.

Lean Liberal

I consider myself an independent guided more by evidence, constitutional principles, and practical problem-solving than by party labels. My priorities are affordability, universal healthcare, accountable government, civil liberties, diplomacy, environmental stewardship, and protecting the rights and dignity of every person.

Strongly Agree

Government has a responsibility to protect children from online sexual exploitation by enforcing existing laws, supporting law enforcement, strengthening international cooperation, and providing prevention, education, and victim services. These efforts should be carried out while respecting constitutional rights, due process, and privacy.

I strongly support the Second Amendment and the right of law-abiding Americans to own firearms. I also support evidence-based public safety measures, including expanded background checks, secure firearm storage, community violence prevention, suicide prevention, and Extreme Risk Protection Orders with strong due process protections. I oppose broad bans on commonly owned firearms and believe laws should focus on preventing violence while respecting constitutional rights.
