§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.

Elections and Government Reform

Her campaign website says she would work to overturn Citizens United and reform campaign finance.3

  1. Limit spending by outside groups, including by amending the Constitution to overturn Citizens United
  2. Keep spending unlimited but require groups to name their major donors
  3. Keep current rules
  4. Raise or remove limits on donations to candidates and parties
Marked: the option their statement matches.

Technology, Privacy and AI

Her campaign website says personal data should be treated as private property, and her Freedom From Surveillance Act proposal would bar collecting or selling personal data without specific consent, give people rights to see, correct and delete their data, let them sue violators, and create a federal privacy enforcement agency.3,5

  1. Limit collection to what a service needs, and let people sue companies that break the rules
  2. Give people rights to see and delete their data and stop its sale, enforced by government regulators
  3. One national law with basic rights, such as deleting your data, that replaces state privacy laws
  4. No new general privacy law; rely on current laws
Marked: the option their statement matches.

Housing

Her campaign website says she supports Housing First together with job training, rehabilitation and mental health support.3

  1. Provide permanent housing first, without requiring treatment or sobriety beforehand
  2. Provide housing that comes with requirements, such as treatment, sobriety or work
  3. Enforce bans on public camping and move people into shelters or treatment, including court-ordered treatment for some
Marked: the option their statement matches.

Her campaign website says she would curb corporate landlords, and her American Homeownership Restoration Act proposal would cap every company, fund or other entity at six single-family homes, require larger owners to sell the rest with first-time buyers getting first chance to buy, and bar foreign buyers from purchasing single-family homes.3,6

  1. Tighten the ban, such as by covering smaller investors or ending exceptions
  2. Keep the 2026 law as passed
  3. Loosen or repeal the ban
Marked: the option their statement matches.

Her American Homeownership Restoration Act proposal includes a $15,000 refundable federal tax credit for first-time buyers earning less than 140% of their area's median income and a federal match for state down payment help of up to $25,000 per household.6

Her American Homeownership Restoration Act proposal would give extra federal housing money to states that eliminate parking minimums and allow duplexes by right in residential zones.6

  1. Have states require cities to allow more types of housing, such as apartments near transit
  2. Give extra state or federal money to communities that allow more homes
  3. Leave zoning decisions to local governments
Marked: the option their statement matches.

Her housing proposals would require large investors to sell the manufactured home communities they own, with residents given first chance to buy, and would freeze lot rents during that period at their levels before the investors bought the communities.6,7

Environment and Public Lands

Her campaign website says she would protect public lands, balancing conservation with responsible use and keeping access for hunting, fishing and hiking.3

Family and Social Policy

Her campaign website says she would fight in the Senate to restore the SNAP funding cut by the 2025 law known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, raise the minimum benefit, tie benefits to food costs and protect elderly and disabled recipients from work-reporting requirements.8

  1. Undo the 2025 changes or expand benefits and eligibility
  2. Keep the program as changed in 2025
  3. Tighten eligibility and work rules further
Marked: the option their statement matches.

Immigration

Her campaign website says immigration enforcement should focus on criminals, traffickers and security threats rather than workplace raids or separating families, and that far more immigration judges should be hired to clear the court backlog.9

Education

Her campaign website proposes federally equalized per-pupil funding for public schools and a federal Homeschool Family Support Fund that would give homeschool families per-child stipends for curriculum, co-op fees and specialist services.10

§4Financial 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.

Senate candidates and senators file with the Senate's own disclosure system, which asks each visitor to agree to its terms before searching, so we can't link straight to a filing. You can search for Natalie M Fleming at efdsearch.senate.gov11.
