Survey of 2024 Senate campaign websites: on Government Reform
Adam Schiff:
Need to pass historic voting rights protection legislation
First, we need to pass historic voting rights protection legislation--H.R. 1, the For the People Act, and H.R. 4, the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. Second, we must pass my landmark reform package, The Protecting our Democracy Act.
It's an ambitious set of reforms that would enshrine our democratic guardrails into law. No longer a suggestion. But law. We must ensure that no future president can do the kind of damage Trump has done--ever again.

Elissa Slotkin:
Proud to have never taken a dime of corporate PAC money
In order to preserve our democracy, we must also reform the very political system we use to elect our leaders. With trust in our elected officials at an all-time low and with the foundation of our democracy at stake, Elissa is proud to have never
taken a dime of corporate PAC money--not ever. In Congress, she has led the charge to ban corporate PACs and pushed leaders in both parties to ban Members of Congress from trading stocks.

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.

Only House Democrat to oppose return of earmarks
- Katie "does Congress" differently: Katie is leading the fight to ban Members of Congress and their families from trading stocks.
- She is one of just ten Members of Congress who doesn't take a cent of corporate PAC or federal lobbyist money.
- When Congress brought back earmarks--meaning funds for politicians' pet projects--in 2021, Katie was the only Democrat to oppose them.

Scott Parkinson:
Will fight for term limits on Members of Congress
Tim Kaine has been on the ballot 9 times, held elected office for almost 30 years. That's why Virginia deserves an honest leader like Scott Parkinson who will fight for term limits on Members of Congress. Scott strongly believes the role of our federal
government is that of a Constitutionally limited Republic with an explicit separation of powers to protect and defend our unalienable God-given rights within the powers vested in the Constitution to the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial Branch.

automatic voter registration, early voting, and no-excuse voting by mail.

Sam Brown:
Nevada lands belong to the people, not DC bureaucrats
The Bureau of Land Management controls over 48 million acres of Nevada, a major piece of the 86% of Nevada owned by the federal government. As Nevada's U.S. Senator, I consider it a prime responsibility of mine to see that these lands are released from
the federal government, back to our state and counties over time. This land belongs to the people of Nevada, not D.C. power brokers and bureaucrats. Nevadans deserve the right to decide how to cultivate and manage our lands and natural resources.

Sam Brown:
Election integrity legislation will be a top priority
Every fraudulent vote cancels out a real vote. I want it to be easier to vote and harder to cheat. Passing election integrity legislation will be a top priority as a U.S. Senator. Every day, Americans are required to present identification to access
even the most basic services. It should be the same for any person casting a ballot in an election. Voter ID is a common sense and highly effective way to secure our elections immediately.

James Craig:
Regulations act as an obstacle for innovation, stifle growth
With the power it wields, the regulatory state has become the unelected fourth branch of government. The regulatory state is comprised of agencies and departments in the executive branch responsible for carrying out and implementing the
laws passed by congress through regulations. In principle, regulations which define the scope and reach of laws should be a net positive for society. In practice, however, regulations act as an obstacle for innovation and stifle economic growth.

James Craig:
Congressional term limits would help fix dysfunction
Term limits for members of Congress would go a long way towards fixing the dysfunction in Washington. Allowing politicians to serve unlimited terms misaligns the incentives, encouraging them to prioritize securing reelection over being effective
advocates for their constituents. To that end, I propose term limits of two terms in the U.S. Senate (12 years) and six terms in the U.S. House of Representatives (12 years).

It's time for a new approach that embraces small businesses and job creation, gets government out of the way, and taps into the spirit of hard-working small business owners and job creators across California.

Against never-ending regulations imposing costly compliance
Together with Joe Biden, they have blocked new leases on New Mexico's federal lands, increased royalty payments, and passed never-ending regulations that impose costly compliance. Biden and the radical left would rather beg for oil from dictators with
terrible environmental records and egregious human rights violations, as well as an anti-America agenda than support our domestic oil and gas industry. Heinrich wants mandates on what kind of appliances you can buy and cars you can drive.
