On Budget & Economy: Opposes federal spending in Inflation Reduction Act

Walker has not presented any specifics on his plans for addressing the economy, but said if elected, he plans to fight for lower taxes, fewer government regulations and more free-market capitalism. He has also blamed Democrat spending at the federal level as the cause of inflation and high gas and grocery costs, and has spoken against the Inflation Reduction Act, which [Democratic opponent Sen. Raphael] Warnock voted for in August. The act addressed affordable health care and prescription drugs, climate change and taxing wealthy corporations.

Warnock has vowed to oppose tax breaks that benefit the wealthiest Americans and has advocated for middle and lower class tax breaks.

On Crime: End cash bail for nonviolent crimes

[GOP opponent Herschel] Walker has touted support of fully funding police and law enforcement so they have adequate staff, equipment and training. Walker has attacked Warnock's support for ending "cash bail" for nonviolent crimes. Warnock said cash bail makes it harder for someone accused of a crime, specifically lower income Americans, to be released on bail while awaiting a trial.

During his short tenure, Warnock has supported grants for law enforcement and has expressed support for a bill that would fund training, equipment and mental health support, among others, for local law enforcement.
