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 sign on, on her first day, to a proposed constitutional amendment in the Senate to overturn Citizens United.6
- Limit spending by outside groups, including by amending the Constitution to overturn Citizens United
- Keep spending unlimited but require groups to name their major donors
- Keep current rules
- Raise or remove limits on donations to candidates and parties
Her campaign website says she supports independent commissions to draw New Jersey's state and congressional district lines.6
- Have independent commissions, not lawmakers, draw district lines
- Let legislatures draw the lines, but only once a decade after the census
- Let legislatures draw and redraw the lines when they choose
Health Care
Her campaign website says she strongly supports Medicare for All and would immediately sign on to Senator Bernie Sanders's bill.6
- One government plan for everyone (Medicare for All)
- Add a government plan that anyone can choose to buy
- Keep the current mix of private and public coverage, including the ACA
- Fewer federal insurance rules and more private plan choices, with aid paid to individuals
Immigration
Her campaign website says ICE should be abolished immediately.6
- Abolish ICE and move any remaining enforcement work to other agencies
- Deport only people convicted of serious crimes or who threaten national security

- Deport as many people here without legal permission as possible, with or without criminal records
Her campaign website says ICE should be replaced with a fast-tracked path to citizenship as part of comprehensive immigration reform.6

- Legal status only for people brought here as children, such as DACA recipients
- Legal status, but not citizenship, for most who pass background checks and pay a fine

Foreign Policy and Defense
Her campaign website says she will not vote to continue arming the Netanyahu government and that sending taxpayer dollars to Israel is wasteful.6
- Increase military aid to Israel
- Keep military aid at current levels, without new conditions
- Attach conditions, such as limits on how US weapons are used and requirements to let humanitarian aid into Gaza
- Reduce or end military aid to Israel
§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 Veronica Fernandez at efdsearch.senate.gov7.
