§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 government spending among his issues, saying he applies the budget-balancing and waste-cutting discipline he used in business to federal programs.4

  1. Increase overall federal spending
  2. Hold overall spending near current levels
  3. Cut overall federal spending
  4. Cut spending enough to balance the budget within 10 years
Marked: the option their statement matches.

Immigration

Border wall and barriers

His campaign website says he backed legislation to restart President Trump's border wall, end catch-and-release, strengthen ICE and Border Patrol, and confront fentanyl-trafficking cartels.4

Crime, Policing and Prisons

Police funding

His campaign website says law enforcement deserves support and that he fights for policies that protect and equip the people who keep communities safe.4

Foreign Policy and Defense

Military spending

His campaign website says America must field the world's strongest military, that he backed one of the largest military pay raises in recent memory, and that he is committed to maintaining readiness and caring for veterans.4

Economic ties with China

His campaign website says he backs legislation that protects U.S. technology and pushes back against the Chinese Communist Party.4

Abortion and Reproductive Health

Abortion law

His campaign website says he is pro-life, believes every life has dignity, opposes abortion and will support expectant mothers.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 Jefferson Shreve served, these bills had broad support from both parties but never reached a floor vote. No officeholder ever had to vote on them. Jefferson Shreve sponsored or cosponsored 14 of the 26. 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.
