On Free Trade: Long overdue to stand up to China's abusive trade practices

Q: Which are the policies of President Trump's that you think are good?

McAdams: I'm happy that he's taken on China. I think we were long overdue to stand up to some of the abusive trade practices. American companies have not been treated fairly by Chinese companies. And I hear it all the time. That's a stance that he's taken that I support.

On Principles & Values: Member of the bipartisan Problem Solvers caucus

I belong to an organization called the Problem Solvers. To join the Problem Solvers, you have to link up with somebody from the other party and join together. So, it's kept an equal number. Right now we have 24 Democrats and 24 Republicans, and we meet weekly at the least. We have a formal meeting once a week, and those spur a lot of informal meetings outside of that. It has been probably the most productive time I've spent in Congress, working with the Problem Solvers. Source: Deseret News on 2020 UT-4 House race Feb 28, 2020

On Civil Rights: Ensure that all LGBTQ families are treated equally

[Human Rights Campaign endorsement press release]: HRC and these champions for equality must work together to ensure we maintain a pro-equality majority in the U.S. House and establish one in the U.S. Senate. HRC will work to mobilize 57 million Equality Voters nationwide to turn out this November and ensure these endorsed candidates win.

"Throughout my career in public service--whether during my time in the Utah legislature, as Mayor of Salt Lake County, or now as a member of Congress--I've worked to build bridges in the community to ensure that all families are treated equally under the law," said Rep. Ben McAdams (UT-4). "I'm honored to receive HRC's endorsement and look forward to more progress on these important issues."
