In short

Monica Alponte's campaign lists "Seniors, Vets, Disabled" as an issue but no position on these topics on the pages checked.

    Read the full check

    Full detail

    His campaign says he worked across the aisle in the Legislature to protect access to the abortion drug mifepristone. HB 2811 of 2022 would have made it a class 3 felony to prescribe, dispense or sell an abortion medication, defined to include mifepristone. It failed on the House floor 28-31 on February 24, 2022. He voted No, and so did three Republicans: Regina Cobb, Joanne Osborne and Michelle Udall. In 2021 he voted against SB 1457, which became law and bans providing abortion pills by courier or mail; it passed the House 31-29 on party lines. Limit: The votes are on the record; his part in persuading anyone is not. The campaign does not name a bill. Of the two, only the HB 2811 vote was across party lines.
