Survey of 2018 House campaign websites: on Principles & Values


Ben McAdams: If Congress can't pass budget, they shouldn't get paid

Ben worked with both sides of the aisle in the Utah Legislature and as Salt Lake County mayor to balance the budget and act on important initiatives. He will continue to work with colleagues in both parties to overcome Washington's broken politics and put Utah families first. Ben believes Congress shouldn't get paid if it can't do its job to pass a budget. Utah families and small businesses balance their checkbooks and manage their budgets every month. They expect Congress to do the same.

Lori Trahan: Fight to protect shared values

I am an optimist. My version of making America great is solidarity in purpose. There will be times when we need to fight to protect our shared values. I will not tolerate any assault on women, minorities, immigrants, veterans, the disabled, or our environment from this administration.

Troy Balderson: Relies on his Christian faith to be his compass in life

Troy Balderson is a devoted Christian and elder at his church. He believes that strong leadership means leaning on that faith in tough times and relying on His word on a daily basis. As a Christian, Troy believes life begins at conception and is 100% pro-life, and it's why Ohio Right to Life PAC has endorsed his campaign. In the legislature, Troy voted to ban abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected. In Congress, Balderson will fight to ban late-term abortions and defund Planned Parenthood.
