How this guide is built

Background comes from official records, and from the campaign's own biography where the bullet says so; goals are summarized from the campaign's own platform and stay attributed; the record lines are official actions with the government source attached; money is shown as filed, with the filings it covers in the note under the table, and is not evidence of why any position was taken.

What they say

His campaign says he will keep fighting for a Balanced Budget Amendment.

“He’ll continue to fight for: A Balanced Budget Amendment”

What the record shows · Jan 3, 2025

He has introduced his own balanced budget amendment in every Congress since 2013, seven in all. The current one, H.J.Res. 11, would bar spending above revenue in any year unless three-fifths of each House votes otherwise. In 2018 he voted for a balanced budget amendment that got a floor vote and failed 233-184, short of two-thirds.

Limit: None of his own versions got past committee. The record shows the proposal, not whether he has worked to balance any actual budget.

His own bills would keep highway money for highways, bar federal money for streetcars and repeal transit capital grants.

Limit: The laws he backed date from 2014 to 2018. From 2021 on he voted against each major highway, airport and water bill checked here, including the ones that became law.

What the record shows · Mar 6, 2025

It would require the VA and the Defense Department to offer stellate ganglion block to veterans and service members with PTSD. None of the versions has passed.

What the record shows · Dec 16, 2024

“Provide more healthcare options for Veterans and their families”

What the record shows · Dec 16, 2024

He voted for the 2014 Choice Act and the 2018 MISSION Act, which set up programs for veterans to get care from providers outside the VA. In 2024 he voted for the Dole Act, which covers access to that care, home care and help for family caregivers. He voted against the PACT Act twice in 2022; it expanded VA care for veterans exposed to burn pits and other toxins and passed 342-88.

Limit: All four laws passed with wide support. The PACT Act, which he opposed, widened who can get VA care rather than where they get it.

In 2017 he voted for the American Health Care Act, which would have let states allow insurers to price coverage by health status for some people with a gap in coverage.

Limit: His cosponsored bills point the way he says, but none passed, and he voted against the drug-cost bills that did pass the House. The 2022 law also held climate and tax measures.

He also cosponsored the Heartbeat Protection Act in 2017, 2019 and 2021, a ban once a heartbeat is detectable whose only exception is the mother's life. And he has cosponsored the Life at Conception Act, which names no exceptions, in every Congress since 2017.

Limit: His record points both ways. The 20-week bans he voted for carry his exceptions; the heartbeat ban he cosponsored three times excepts only the mother's life.

Limit: The bills and the 2025 vote match what he says about non-citizens. The one vote here on benefits for everyone else is his 2024 vote against higher benefits for some people with public pensions.

“Banning sanctuary cities”

What the record shows · Feb 2, 2023
