§3What they've said on the issues

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

Federal spending levels

His campaign website says he led the fight to rein in federal spending and has pushed for fiscal discipline to fight inflation.3,8

Economy, Jobs and Trade

Banking and investment rules

His campaign website says that, drawing on his business experience and his service on the House Financial Services Committee, he has worked to remove regulations it calls burdensome and to make capital easier for small businesses to obtain so they can grow and hire, and that as chairman of the committee's Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee he worked to hold officials at the SEC and other agencies in the Biden-Harris administration to account while widening access to capital markets.3,8

§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 Bill Huizenga served, these bills had broad support from both parties but never reached a floor vote. No officeholder ever had to vote on them. Bill Huizenga sponsored or cosponsored 26 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.
