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
In answers to a 2024 voter guide questionnaire posted on his campaign website, he says Congress should not act to protect abortion rights after the Supreme Court's 2022 Dobbs decision, because he believes it is a state's rights issue.7
- A national law making abortion legal in every state, at least until viability, as under Roe v. Wade
- Leave abortion law to each state
- A national law limiting abortion (for example, after 15 weeks of pregnancy)
