Kyrsten Sinema in 2018 AZ Senate race

On Health Care: Arizonans worry about coverage for preexisting conditions

(BEGIN VIDEO) SINEMA: The reality is that Arizonans are worried about losing access to this critical coverage. And Martha voted to take that protection away.

(END VIDEO) Q: Do you acknowledge that protection for people with preexisting conditions was significantly weaker under repeal and replace than it was under ObamaCare?

MCSALLY: I am passionate about protecting people with preexisting conditions and forcing insurance companies to provide them health insurance. I voted to make sure that they had that coverage. The reality is that ObamaCare right now is not covering people with preexisting conditions. We can't go back to what we were in the past.

On War & Peace: 2003: Led multiple protests against Iraq War

MCSALLY: Well, it's her words. It's totally out of step with American values.

Q: Sinema says this talk show host was going off presenting all kinds of hypothetical ideas, and she was just trying to shut him down and get back to the fact that she opposed the Iraq War, which was just about to start in 2003.

MCSALLY: This is a pattern from my opponent. Right after 9/11, Kyrsten Sinema was protesting any military action against terrorists. She was protesting later in a pink tutu. She was leading multiple protests, handing out flyers at her protest depicting American soldiers as skeletons and saying we are the ones conducting terror in the Middle East. Very much against our military.

On Abortion: Women decide what's best for her health--not politicians

Martha McSally (R): Ban. "I'm pro-life." Voted to ban after 20 weeks with exceptions for rape, incest, & life of the mother.

Kyrsten Sinema (D): Legal. Uphold Roe v. Wade. "A woman, her family, & her doctor should decide what's best for her health--not Washington politicians."

Q: Contraception: Allow employers to withhold contraceptive coverage from employees if disagree morally?

McSally: Yes. Says not about women's access to contraception, which she supports, but legality of ObamaCare mandates.

Sinema: No. "Women in our district want a chance to.make their own health care decisions."

Q: Healthcare: Let Planned Parenthood receive public funds for non-abortion health care?

McSally: No. Voted to defund.

Sinema: Yes. Voted to continue allowing.

On Energy & Oil: Opposes carbon tax but supports renewable energy

Martha McSally (R): Unclear how serious a threat she considers. Says climate is changing, & that humans have played a role. But also voted to end Defense Dept assessments of climate-related threats to military installations & operations.

Kyrsten Sinema (D): Yes. "Our climate is changing & human activity is contributing." Voted for continued assessment of threat.

Q: Clean Power: Limit or tax production of greenhouse gases?

McSally: No. Opposed Obama Clean Power plan, citing impact on Apache generating station. Voted against the potential carbon tax in 2018.

Sinema: Mixed. Supports limits & opposed condemning Obama Clean Power plan, but raised issues about impact on Apache & opposed potential carbon tax.

Q: Renewable Energy: Support government subsidies for renewable energy?

McSally: Unclear. Supports new technologies, but led by private sector.

Sinema: Yes. Supports government funding to develop renewable energy.

On Foreign Policy: Stick with Iran nuclear treaty until new strategy defined

Martha McSally (R): Yes. Supports decision "to terminate U.S. participation in this rotten deal."

Kyrsten Sinema (D): No. Withdrawing without defined strategy does not make us safer.

On Free Trade: Concerned about retaliatory tariffs from reckless trade war

Martha McSally (R): Unclear. Opposed tariffs on imported solar cells. Backed tariff exceptions for products used in manufacturing.

Kyrsten Sinema (D): No. Worry about retaliatory tariffs & "reckless trade war."

On Government Reform: Overturn Citizens United; more political donation disclosure

Martha McSally (R): Voted against making it easier to see who was funding TV ads.

Kyrsten Sinema (D): Co-sponsored DISCLOSE ACT. "Overturn Citizens United." Only way to fix "our broken political system is to get the vast sums of secret money out of politics & shine a light with more transparency."

On Jobs: Increase federal minimum wage from $7.20 to $10.10

Martha McSally (R): No stand found.

Kyrsten Sinema (D): Yes. Has supported increase to $10.10 an hour.

On Technology: Supports infrastructure bank to help create good jobs

Martha McSally (R): Generally, no. Need to get spending under control. Did support federal transportation funding for AZ.

Kyrsten Sinema (D): Mixed. Supports infrastructure bank to help "create good jobs," cosponsored Balanced Budget Amendment.

On Immigration: Support Recognizing America's Children Act (GOP compromise)

Her staff said McSally "wanted to clarify" that she now wants another bill, called the Securing America's Future Act. That bill, which would do away with the diversity visa program and impose tougher border enforcement provisions, has 95 co-sponsors, all of whom are Republicans. It would grant "contingent nonimmigrant status" to those brought to the U.S. as children if they meet certain conditions rather than citizenship. [Rep. Kyrsten Sinema does not co-sponsor the Securing America's Future Act].

On Health Care: Affordable health-care for everyone

On Civil Rights: Co-chair Congressional LGBT Equality Caucus
