Here are your answers compared to this voter’s answers.
Healthcare › COVID Mask Mandate
8>8 Personal answerYes, but only indoors or crowded areas |
Social › Abortion
8>8 Personal answerPro life, generally, but if the woman in cases of rape, incest, danger to mother or child, there may be some justification. Abortion should not be a method of birth control. There are too many other alternatives like the morning after pill to prevent finding out months later of a pregnancy. Government should not pay for abortions. |
Domestic Policy › Gun Control
8>8 Personal answerBackground checks, waiting periods, psychological issues should be considered, probably not training, but perhaps testing similar to passing a driver's test/licensing. If I'm expected to pass a test of road rules, what would be the harm in expecting people to study and be educated and tested about gun safety, local laws, etc. I don't believe their are significant loopholes for gun shows, but to the extent there are, states could implement people to manage exchanges and abide by applicable laws above. |
Domestic Policy › Insurrection Act
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Healthcare › Drug Price Regulation
8>8 Personal answerNo, limiting drug prices would also limit the investment in research and development into new life-saving drugs. There should be greater price transparency within the drug supply chain, like PBMs, pharmacies, etc. |
Healthcare › Pre-Existing Conditions
8>8 Personal answerNo, it is immoral to deny health insurance to people with pre-existing conditions, but it's also irresponsible to allow people to not contribute into the system to help pay, get sick, then get insurance. |
Social › Gender Identity
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › Mental Health
8>8 Personal answerYes, our mental healthcare system needs more funding to provide a higher quality of care and services |
Social › Planned Parenthood Funding
8>8 Personal answerYes, as long as funding is not used for abortion procedures |
the Economy › Minimum Wage
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › Armed Teachers
8>8 Personal answerNo, hire professionally trained security guards instead |
the Environment › Climate Change
8>8 Personal answerYes, and provide more incentives for alternative energy production |
the Economy › Taxes
8>8 Personal answerRaise income slightly on rich, but many super wealthy live off assets which may be subject to capital gains which is lower, so something should be done that levels the playing field, collects more revenue for the Federal government to reduce deficit spending. |
Education › Student Loans
8>8 Personal answerI don't think college should be free, but certainly with a dramatic change to the affordability vs. massive debt could change the economic upward mobility for many, many students which could spur other consumer spending, investment in home purchases, etc. |
Education › Free College for All
8>8 Personal answerYes, but only for partial tuition |
Healthcare › Marijuana
8>8 Personal answerYes, and legalize, tax, and regulate marijuana instead of criminalizing it |
Immigration › Illegal Immigrant Detainment
8>8 Personal answerYes, all illegal immigrants should be turned over to federal authorities and deported |
Healthcare › Medicaid
8>8 Personal answerI am not informed enough to form a full opinion. |
Science › Mandatory Vaccinations
8>8 Personal answerall medicine should be available through INFORMED CONSENT. |
the Environment › Alternative Energy
8>8 Personal answerYes, the government should support more sustainable energy technologies |
Immigration › Immigration Healthcare
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Healthcare › Single-Payer Healthcare
8>8 Personal answerNo. The employer-based, self-funded plans work, but broader access to insurance needs to be maintained through a government option to support people who have to buy it individually. |
Elections › Voter Fraud
8>8 Personal answerOnly to the extent it is not misused to discriminate or prevent certain people (i.e. minorities) from voting. |
the Environment › Alaska Wildlife Refuge
8>8 Personal answerNo, and increase alternative energy subsidies to eliminate our dependence on fossil fuels |
the Economy › Corporate Tax
8>8 Personal answerRaise larger corporation tax rate slightly. It needed to be lower to incentivize US investment and avoid corporate flight. I like the idea of lowering taxes for small business to promote growth. We do need to close loopholes that allow massive revenue and a lot of loopholes that allow large corporations pay no tax. |
Immigration › Border Wall
8>8 Personal answerNo open border. Attempt to limit un-lawful entry using more high-tech and personnel which creates jobs. |
Healthcare › Medicaid Work Requirement
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Crime › Defunding the Police
8>8 Personal answerIncrease police funding to increase training in de-escalation, other non-enforcement personnel with the training and ability to help manage more of the types of issues police are force to address, like people with mental illness, etc. |
Elections › Right of Foreigners to Vote
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Crime › Mandatory minimum prison sentences
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Healthcare › Safe Haven
8>8 Personal answerYes, drug abuse should be treated as a health issue, not a criminal issue |
Healthcare › Medicare Drug Prices
8>8 Personal answerNo |
the Environment › Dakota Access Pipeline
8>8 Personal answerNo, but drastically increase the amount of fines the company must pay in the event of an accident. And, reroute the pipeline away from Native American land OR PAY additional subsidies to improve Native American living conditions |
the Environment › Oil Drilling
8>8 Personal answerNo, and provide more incentives for alternative energy production |
Healthcare › World Health Organization
8>8 Personal answerYes, but only relative to the amount that other countries contribute |
Healthcare › Obamacare
8>8 Personal answerYes |
the Environment › Fracking
8>8 Personal answerNo, more research is needed to measure the long term effects of fracking. We should pursue more sustainable energy resources instead. |
Elections › Electoral College
8>8 Personal answerYes, and switch to a representative democracy (popular vote) system |
Foreign Policy › Military Spending
8>8 Personal answerDecrease, pay soldiers better, take care of veteran obligations, be more efficient with resources. It seems out of whack relative to rest of world, but we have a smaller populace, so it requires a disproportionate spend to equip and arm military with better technology and capabilities and training. |
Science › Nuclear Energy
8>8 Personal answerYes |
the Environment › Animal Testing
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › VA Privatization
8>8 Personal answermore and less - veterans should be able to see any doctor of their choice to broaden access, but increase funding to improve current system since there are specific needs of veterans that only the VA can address. |
Science › GMO Labels
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Education › Universal Pre-K
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Transportation › Public Transportation
8>8 Personal answerYes, but only if the spending goes towards environmentally friendly solutions |
Education › Charter Schools
8>8 Personal answerYes, but not at the expense of funding public schools, and as long as same standards are used to evaluate. There's been some thumbs on the scale in areas to support otherwise failing charter schools and at the expense of public education. These should definitely be non-profit. |
Crime › Criminal Voting Rights
8>8 Personal answerIt shouldn't be a complete restriction from voting. They are, after all, citizens. I think this may be limited/restricted for murderers, rapists, and violent criminals (i.e. not simple assault) and then possibly after their sentence has been served...but not contingent on payment of fines which seem to be elusive, non-trackable, and many times insurmountable for someone who has been in prison. |
the Environment › Plastic Product Ban
8>8 Personal answerSome mix of restriction plus positive incentives. |
National Security › Military Congressional Approval
8>8 Personal answerIt depends on the situation. If it is an emergency situation, then yes the president should not have to authorize with congress but if there is enough time, then congress should authorize. It all depends on the circumstances at the moment in time. |
Foreign Policy › Terrorism
8>8 Personal answerThis can cut both ways for US citizens, soldiers, and government workers on foreign soil, so we need to be careful here. As non-US citizens, I am not convinced they have all the rights a US citizen should enjoy, pays taxes to support, etc. They are enemy combatants. Basic human rights should apply. |
the Environment › Paris Climate Agreement
8>8 Personal answerUS should not withdraw, but enforce proportional responsibility based on each country's size/climate impact. |
National Security › Foreign Assassination
8>8 Personal answerIt's complicated. This has the potential to increase similar activity against our leaders. Yes, but with potentially more congressional committee oversight (not 1 person w/limitless power), over-whelming evidence, and when possible joint force involvement from foreign government (realizing this will not always be possible without inadvertently jeopardizing the mission.) |
Science › Space Exploration
8>8 Personal answerYes, but make sure that some funding is going towards saving the Earth and decreasing national deficit. |
Education › School Truancy
8>8 Personal answerNo |
the Environment › Corporate Subsidies
8>8 Personal answerYes, as long as the local environment is not compromised. Yes, as long as the tax revenue will eventually exceed the tax incentives. Yes, if the company promises to create new jobs by hiring local residents. |
