On Abortion: Voted for legislation to create statutory right to abortion

All Americans should be able to decide for themselves when and if they'd like to become parents. The freedom to seek abortion care is essential to the financial well-being of our nation's families and our workforce. Politicians should not come between patients and their doctors when it comes to these healthcare decisions, and I have voted for legislation that would create a statutory right to abortion.

On Gun Control: Ban assault weapons, strengthen background checks

The federal government has a duty to keep Americans safe. No one should fear going to the grocery store, to school, or to houses of worship. I have supported legislation to ban assault weapons, strengthen background checks, and allow our justice system to hold gun manufacturers accountable. Gun violence solutions should be research-based and effective at reducing gun deaths by suicide, accidental gun deaths, family-based violence, and mass shootings.

On Health Care: Replace Affordable Care Act with something like Medicare

Ultimately, I think the Affordable Care Act should be replaced by a healthcare approach similar to Medicare, with its huge provider network that expands patient choice, its lower costs for coverage of more health needs, and most importantly, its improved health outcomes.
