§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 lists cutting wasteful government spending among his priorities, and lists helping lead the effort to cut $2 trillion from Washington's wasteful spending, waste and fraud among his accomplishments.4

Federal income tax rates

His campaign website lists lower taxes among his priorities, and says he would cut wasteful government spending so that Missourians keep more of what they earn.4

Fraud and improper payments in federal programs

His campaign website lists holding Washington accountable by ridding it of waste, fraud and abuse as a priority, and lists helping lead an effort to cut waste and fraud among his accomplishments.4

Health Care

Health insurance system

His campaign website lists affordable healthcare among his priorities, saying he would make healthcare more affordable and return control of their care to patients rather than bureaucrats.4

Guns

Rules for gun accessories and parts

His campaign website lists eliminating the $200 federal gun tax stamp among his accomplishments.4

§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 Eric W. Burlison served, these bills had broad support from both parties but never reached a floor vote. No officeholder ever had to vote on them. Eric W. Burlison sponsored or cosponsored 4 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.
