§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.
Health Care
His campaign website says he supports expanding Medicaid in Alabama and backs a federal proposal, which it calls The First Domino, for a federally run coverage program open to eligible residents of states that have not expanded Medicaid.8
His campaign website says he supports the enhanced ACA premium tax credits as a way to ease health care costs.8
Elections and Government Reform

- Limit spending by outside groups, including by amending the Constitution to overturn Citizens United
- Keep spending unlimited but require groups to name their major donors
- Keep current rules

His campaign website says he would vote for a ban on stock trading by members of Congress and their immediate families.8

His campaign website says he would introduce and vote for term limits and a moratorium on lobbying by members of Congress.8
Immigration
His campaign website says he supports immigration reform that gives undocumented immigrants a clear path to legal status, and says secure borders are also important.8
Energy and Climate
His campaign website says he supports a moratorium on building new data centers until their environmental effects have been studied.8

§4Money
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.

§5Financial 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.
