2022 AZ Senate race: on Free Trade


Jim Lamon: Tariff goods coming from China, India and other countries

Tariff the goods coming from China, India and other countries: This will apply to those who do not comply with the pollution control, workplace safety rules and reasonable wages that American businesses support. The tariff payments will go directly to an Investment Tax Fund to be used to bring manufacturing back to America. The resulting increase in good-paying jobs will produce bountiful additional tax revenues.

Justin Olson: Teach the importance of free markets and capitalism

In 2018, I was elected to statewide office, where I currently fight to protect Arizonans' hard earned resources and to advance free markets. In addition to my public service, I worked as the CFO for Turning Point USA, the leading conservative organization educating students about the importance of fiscal responsibility, free markets, and capitalism.

Kyrsten Sinema: Opposed trade with Malaysia: they imprison LGBT people

After the 2014 election, Minority Whip Steny Hoyer named Sinema the chief deputy whip. He said she brought "Dynamism in fresh ideas that will surely enhance the work of the whip operation. " In February 2015, she was one of five democratic cochairs of the congressional LGBT equality caucus who objected to the prospective Asian Pacific trade pact on the grounds that LGBT people can be imprisoned for up to 20 years in Malaysia.

Based on her teaching experience, she has worked on legislation to provide additional protections to the victims of sexual violence on campus.

She has been mentioned as a potential challenger to Senator John McCain in 2016, which likely would be an uphill challenge. She has dismissed the possibility though she created the leadership PAC that would be a useful fundraising vehicle. She may have other opportunities for a statewide bid, which would draw national support from the LGBT community.
