Issue Positions
For Presidential and Congressional candidates who refuse to provide voters with their positions, Vote Smart has researched their public records to determine their likely responses. These issue positions are from 2014.
- Endorsed by NARAL Pro-Choice America, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, Emily's List, and Women's Campaign Fund in 2014 (votesmart.org)
- "I've always supported a woman's right to make decisions about her own body." (votesmart.org)
- "I'll work to eliminate corporate tax loopholes, while protecting tax relief for the middle class." (votesmart.org)
- "My highest priority is getting our economy back on track and creating an environment for businesses to create good-paying jobs to put still struggling Nevadans back to work. Congress can help small businesses succeed by getting out of the way, cutting red tape and excessive regulation, encouraging banks to lend again, and providing tax relief for small businesses. We need to encourage job growth here in Nevada--not China--by ending tax loopholes that encourage companies to go or expand overseas." (votesmart.org)
- "I will work to cut wasteful spending and take away Congress' credit card by enforcing pay-as-you-go rules. " (votesmart.org)
- "As the mother of two young girls, ensuring every child's access to a quality public education is deeply personal to me. I will fight to make college affordable and accessible to all Nevada's students. I will also work to create partnerships between Nevada's higher education system and businesses to provide local companies with the skilled employees they need. I will support fully funded preschool and kindergarten, ensuring that every child from the earliest age has the best chance to succeed." (votesmart.org)
- "Nevada is the nation's leader in renewable energy. I will support policies that allow Nevada businesses to continue to be in the best possible position to research, innovate, and create thousands of good-paying, green energy jobs. Nevada's clean energy industry provides a strong, diverse source of economic growth that makes us less dependent on foreign oil." (votesmart.org)
- "I will fight to protect Nevada's tremendous natural beauty for generations to come, while balancing the opportunities that it provides for economic growth." (votesmart.org)
- "As your Congresswoman, I will support and pursue policies that combat the negative effects of globalwarming, while fighting policies that ignore, or even further damage our environment, and ouragricultural industry." (www.erinbilbray.com)
- Despite exhaustive research, Vote Smart was unable to find information about this candidate's position.
- "I believe that responsible gun owners' right to bear arms for sport or protecting their family should be upheld. I will support common sense laws that keep weapons out of the hands of criminals and the dangerously mentally ill." (votesmart.org)
- "Health care costs continue to be too high for both patients and small businesses. The Affordable Care Act contains a lot of common sense solutions, such as protecting coverage for those with pre-existing conditions, lowering drug costs for seniors, and allowing young people to stay on their parents' insurance plan for a longer period. But the results of full implementation remain to be seen. I believe we still need to do more to contain costs. I'm proud that my husband and I created Nevada's only completely free pediatric health clinic." (votesmart.org)
- "I support bringing people back into the immigration system legally through a path to citizenship for those without criminal records." (votesmart.org)
- "No one should be discriminated against because of race, creed, color, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression, age, physical or mental ability, veteran status, military obligations, or marital status.I will be a leader for equal rights for all in Congress. We must end the twotiered system created by the Defense ofMarriage Act, pass a fully inclusive Employee Non-Discrimination Act, and work to create welcoming schools and prevent bullying. In addition an amendment needs to be made to The Runaway and Homeless Youth Act to include speci?c programs for LGBT children which sadly make up over 20% of homeless youth." (votesmart.org)
- Despite exhaustive research, Vote Smart was unable to find information about this candidate's position.
- "I will not support any plan to privatize Social Security and Medicare." (votesmart.org)
