Why this matters: These are positions the candidate has stated publicly — on their campaign website or in public statements — summarized in plain words with a link to where they said it. Issues they haven't spoken about publicly are left out.

Drafted by AI from the public sources cited. Each sentence links to its source.

Each issue has its own range of views. A position is marked on that range only when the candidate's own statement clearly matches one option; there is no overall left–right score.

Taxes and Budget

Taxes on tips and overtime

Her campaign website says she voted for the Working Families Tax Cut, which it says removes taxes on tips and overtime.3

Federal spending levels

Her campaign website says she will draw on her business background to rein in federal spending and see that tax money is spent efficiently.3

Social Security and Medicare

Income tax on Social Security benefits

Her campaign website says she voted for the Working Families Tax Cut, which it says removes taxes on Social Security.3

Abortion and Reproductive Health

Abortion law

Her campaign website lists her work to defend the right to life and says she introduced the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which it says is meant to make sure babies who survive an abortion get medical care.3

Immigration

Border wall and barriers

Her campaign website says she has worked to build the southern border wall to shield neighborhoods from violent criminals and sex offenders.3

Education

Transgender students in school sports

Her campaign website says she will work to keep men out of women's sports so that girls and young women can compete safely and win scholarships.3

Courts, Rights and Civil Liberties

Social media content rules

Her campaign website says she wrote the Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act, which it says lets states and trafficking victims hold online platforms responsible for facilitating sex trafficking.3

§4Popular bills that never got a vote

Why this matters: Many bills with wide support from both parties never reach a vote, so no member of Congress is ever on record for or against them. Signing on as a sponsor or cosponsor is the only public record of support.

While Ann Wagner served, these bills had broad support from both parties but never reached a floor vote. No officeholder ever had to vote on them. Ann Wagner sponsored or cosponsored 11 of the 52. How bills die without a vote.

§5Money

Why this matters: Campaigns report where their money comes from and how much they have left. Outside groups that spend on their own, without coordinating with the campaign, report that too.

Smaller expenditures that appear only on a group's regular monthly or quarterly report aren't in these totals, so the full amounts can be somewhat higher. When a group amends a report, only its latest version is counted.

§6Financial disclosures

Why this matters: Federal candidates and members of Congress must report their assets, income, debts and outside jobs, and members must report stock trades. These filings show possible conflicts of interest.
