2024 IN Senate race: on Government Reform


Jim Banks: Fought unconstitutional efforts to federalize our elections

Ensuring election integrity has been a top priority for Jim with the clear goal of making it easy to vote and harder to cheat. Jim has fought back against Democrats' unconstitutional efforts to federalize our elections, and introduced the Save Democracy Act, which would ensure free and fair elections in 2024 and beyond through common-sense, conservative reforms like voter ID, fair poll watching, and swift counting of ballots.

Marc Carmichael: Committed to confirming fair and impartial federal judges

Is committed to confirming fair and impartial federal judges, not like the partisan appointees that have been foisted on us by Mitch McConnell, the Republican Party. We deserve judges who don't lie to get confirmed or accept generous gifts and travel from wealthy patrons.

Marc Carmichael: Let voters decide term limits by voting them out

Q: What are your thoughts on term limits?

A: All terms have limits of 2, 4, or 6 years. Let the voters decide, that's their job. If they are doing a lousy job then term limits aren't going to change anything. If there must be limits make it 18 years and out, no running for the other chamber.

Q: What do you think of the filibuster?

A: It does more harm than good. It needs to be limited in time and with each use on the same topic the number to invoke cloture should drop by 5.

Valerie McCray: Reverse Citizens United; represent people, not corporations

Reversing Citizens United: we need to get dark money out of politics so our politicians can be free to represent people and not corporations. Once we get dark money out of politics we can address so many other issues. Tax reform, so that taxation is redirected to support the needs of all of the people of this country and not just the 1%. Other issues related are campaign finance reform, sensible gun legislation, public-interests that have been privatized such as health care and public education.
