§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

Her campaign website says the national debt is unsustainable, that federal spending must be cut and the budget balanced, and that the debt should be tackled by reviewing unnecessary spending rather than by raising taxes on citizens.5

  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

Legal immigration levels

Her campaign website says the legal immigration process takes too long and is too expensive and bureaucratic, and that curbing illegal immigration requires changing the legal process to better serve the national interest, including a more robust work visa program.5

Health Care

Health insurance system

Her campaign website says healthcare costs are unsustainable and that the country needs more transparency, competition and consumer choice and more value-based care delivery models, and that most of this work has to be done at the federal level.5

Elections and Government Reform

Federal agencies' power to write rules

Her campaign website says the regulation powers of the executive branch should be limited so that businesses of any size can thrive.5

Term limits for Congress

Her campaign website lists term limits among its issues, saying politics was never meant to be a career but a duty to society.5

§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 Victoria Spartz served, these bills had broad support from both parties but never reached a floor vote. No officeholder ever had to vote on them. Victoria Spartz sponsored or cosponsored 1 of the 52. 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.

Outside spending

Groups spending independently reported $121,667 supporting and $3,422,212 opposing Victoria Spartz this cycle, primary and general combined, in the 24- and 48-hour reports the law requires for larger expenditures, filed through October 26, 2026.62

Smaller expenditures that appear only on a group's regular monthly or quarterly report aren't in these totals, so the full amounts can be somewhat higher. When a group amends a report, only its latest version is counted.

§6Financial 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.
