§2Who they are

Why this matters: Background and experience help you judge how someone might do the job. These come from public records and the candidate's own materials.

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

Why they say they're running

His campaign website presents his run as part of a lifetime spent defending unborn children, and says he will speak for them until they can speak for themselves.2 It says the campaign is running television ads and that, as in earlier social movements, ending abortion requires showing images of what it calls victims.2

§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.

Abortion and Reproductive Health

His campaign website says he wants to end abortion, describes his work as defending children in the womb, and calls on readers to say no to late-term abortion in Michigan.2
