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.
Abortion and Reproductive Health
Her campaign website says she supports Nevada's current law protecting abortion access through 24 weeks, with later care when a doctor determines it is medically necessary to protect the patient's life or health, as well as access to contraception, miscarriage, fertility and emergency care.7
- Legal only to save the pregnant woman's life
- Legal only in cases of rape or incest, or to save the woman's life
- Legal early in pregnancy only, up to a limit such as 6, 12 or 15 weeks
- Legal until about 24 weeks, as under Roe v. Wade, and later to protect the woman's life or health
- Legal at every stage, with no limit based on weeks of pregnancy
Elections and Government Reform
Her campaign website says only eligible U.S. citizens should vote and that she supports secure elections, accurate voter rolls, identity checks and audits, but that any ID or document rule must be constitutional, paid for, accessible and phased in carefully so that eligible voters can still take part.7
Guns
Her campaign website says she supports lawful gun ownership along with background checks, crisis intervention, training, safe storage and enforcement of existing restrictions.7
Taxes and Budget
Her campaign website says new taxes are not the first answer, that she would first examine contracts, procurement loopholes, no-bid deals, tax abatements and waste, and that she is open to studying a state lottery.7
Energy and Climate
Her campaign website says data centers should not get more tax abatements until their effects on water, energy, the power grid, emissions, jobs and utility rates are known.7
Immigration
Education
Her campaign website says school funding should reflect the real cost of serving students, including special education and English learners.7
§4Money
Why this matters: Campaigns report where their money comes from and how much they have left.
