§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

Her campaign website says she will work to rein in federal spending, which it blames for inflation in the cost of groceries and gas.6

Her campaign website says she would require publicly accessible spending reports for every major federal program, lower federal prosecution thresholds so fraud schemes under $1 million are pursued, reform FOIA, and push for independent, real-time audits of high-risk federal programs.6

Housing

Her campaign website says she will push for permitting reform to cut the federal red tape that makes new housing construction costly and slow.6

Her campaign website says every federal homelessness grant should carry outcome-based requirements, with programs that cannot show they are getting people off the streets not renewed, and that federal mental health and addiction treatment money should reach the communities that need it most.6

Immigration

Her campaign website says she supports fully funding border security, ending catch-and-release and closing the asylum loopholes it says criminal smuggling organizations exploit.6

Her campaign website says she opposes federal funding for sanctuary cities and states.6

  1. Require full cooperation, with penalties for places that limit it
  2. Let each state, county or city decide
  3. Cooperate only in cases involving people convicted of serious crimes
  4. Bar police and jails from helping without a judge's warrant
Marked: the option their statement matches.

Her campaign website says she will support a legal immigration process that is clear and fair.6

Crime, Policing and Prisons

Her campaign website says she will fully fund federal law enforcement and oppose any effort to defund the agencies that protect communities.6

Her campaign website says she will back legislation holding fentanyl traffickers to the harshest federal penalties available.6

Elections and Government Reform

Her campaign website says she will sponsor a bill to end congressional insider trading and fight for a full ban on individual stock trading by members of Congress, along with real-time financial disclosure.6

  1. Ban members and their spouses and dependent children from owning or trading individual stocks
  2. Ban members themselves from trading individual stocks
  3. No ban; keep the reporting rules, with stronger penalties for late reports
Marked: the option their statement matches.

Foreign Policy and Defense

Her campaign website says she opposes any agreement that does not permanently and verifiably dismantle Iran's nuclear program, and supports strong international sanctions and all necessary pressure to keep Iran from achieving its nuclear ambitions.6

§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.
