For Presidential and Congressional candidates who refuse to provide voters with their positions, Vote Smart has researched their public records to determine their likely responses. These issue positions are from 2024.

Pro-choice

Abortion and Reproductive Health: Do you generally support pro-choice or pro-life legislation?

Pro-choice

"Abortion care is health care." (twitter.com)
"As we mark the 48th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, granting the legal right to abortion, we must also acknowledge that womenâs reproductive health care continues to be the target of attacks. I will always defend a woman's right to choose." (twitter.com)
"The Republican rules package is designed to make it easier to cut Social Security and Medicare, criminalize abortion, and cut taxes for the rich. It also gives far too much power to MAGA extremists in Congress. Iâm voting NO." (twitter.com)
Rated 100% by Planned Parenthood Action Fund (None)

Abortion and Reproductive Health: Do you support the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade?

"Ahead of the one-year anniversary of SCOTUS overturning #Roe, I joined my colleagues in demanding the Women's Health Protection Act be brought to the floor for a vote. We won't back down from radical attempts to control women." (twitter.com)
"In his concurring opinion on Dobbs, Justice Thomas invited a challenge to same-sex marriage. Thatâs why I am voting for the Respect for Marriage Act, which enshrines and protects marriage equality - even if SCOTUS overturns these rights in the future." (twitter.com)
"NEWS: The House just passed legislation to codify Roe and protect women who travel across state lines to seek reproductive health care. The House has done its part â itâs time for the Senate to vote to place these protections into federal law." (twitter.com)
"The same far-right Supreme Court that overturned Roe is now hearing a case that could restrict access to mifepristone. It's important that they follow the science this time around instead of continuing to roll back the clock on women's reproductive freedom." (twitter.com)

Budget, Spending, and Taxes: Do you support expanding federal funding to support social safety net programs such as Social Security and Medicare?

Yes

"On #TaxDay, it's important to remember that tax cuts donât pay for themselves. So how do Republicans want to pay for the #GOPTaxScam? By cutting crucial benefits like Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. Hardworking Americans deserve better." (twitter.com)
"Social Security was created during the Great Depression. As our nationâs older Americans face the uncertainty of public health and economic #COVID19 crisis, we must protect and expand this critical lifeline #ForThePeople. #SocSec85" (twitter.com)

"In 2020, Bill introduced the Shareholder Political Transparency Act to eliminate secret corporate political donations. This legislation passed the House in 2021 and awaits action in the Senate. In the longer term, Bill supports a constitutional amendment to overturn the Citizens United Supreme Court decision." (www.billfoster.com)

Voted in favor of HR 1 "For the People Act of 2021" (None)

Crime & Public Safety: Do you support protecting government officials, including law enforcement officers, from personal liability in civil lawsuits concerning alleged misconduct?

"Daunte Wright should be with us today. This appears to be yet another example of why we need transformational change to policing in our country, and how systemic racism & oppression continue to terrorize Black Americans. The George Floyd #JusticeInPolicing Act must become law." (twitter.com)
"The George Floyd Justice In Policing Act holds officers ACCOUNTABLE for misconduct. They must be responsible to the communities that they swore to protect and serve. Itâs time to change the culture of policing in America. Itâs time to pass the #JusticeInPolicing Act." (twitter.com)

Yes

Economy: Do you support federal spending as a means of promoting economic growth (e.g. grants, tax incentives)?

Yes

"Bill has served on the Financial Services Committee since entering Congress at the start of the financial collapse in March 2008. As a scientist and businessman, Bill was deeply involved in both the emergency response to rescue our economy, and the structural changes (namely, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act) that set up fair rules of the road to prevent future crises that disproportionately hurt working families." (www.billfoster.com)
"The proper scale of economic stimulus spending required to respond to emergencies like the Financial Crisis of 2008, or the COVID-19 pandemic, balanced against the potential dangers of over-stimulating the economy and driving inflation or an eventual debt crisis." (www.billfoster.com)
"Lawmakers can protect the average American familyâs household wealth by providing adequate fiscal stimulus. During the 2008 financial crisis, American households lost over $10 trillion dollars, in large part because Tea Party Republicans complained about "excessive" spending, preventing adequate fiscal stimulus. During the COVID-19 crisis, household wealth largely recovered due to adequate fiscal stimulus. These are some of the reasons Bill supports the Biden Economic Plan." (www.billfoster.com)

Yes

Economy: Do you support the federal government increasing funding for affordable housing programs?

Yes

"All the more reason the GOP tax plan should not eliminate tax exempt bonds used to build affordable housing. We need tax policies that increase the availability of affordable housing - not give corporations a tax break. #GOPTaxScam" (twitter.com)
"Last week on the House Floor, I highlighted the $3 million going to the Housing Authority of Joliet to turn a shuttered golf course into affordable housing. Iâm proud I was able to secure this funding for hard working families in Joliet who deserve access to homeownership." (twitter.com)
"Only when we achieve the full promise of #FairHousing will we see economic opportunity in every neighborhood, affordable housing for all, and an end to homelessness in America. Proud to work on @FSCDems to continue the fight this #FairHousingMonth." (twitter.com)

Yes

Economy: Do you support the federal government taking action, beyond those of the Federal Reserve, to alleviate inflation?

Yes

"I'm committed to making health care more affordable. That's why I was proud to help pass the Inflation Reduction Act, which capped out-of-pocket drug costs for seniors and lowered health insurance premiums for millions of Americans." (twitter.com)
"The proper scale of economic stimulus spending required to respond to emergencies like the Financial Crisis of 2008, or the COVID-19 pandemic, balanced against the potential dangers of over-stimulating the economy and driving inflation or an eventual debt crisis." (www.billfoster.com)
Voted in favor of HR 5376 "Inflation Reduction Act of 2022" (None)

Unknown Position

Education: Do you support the forgiveness of federal student loan debt?

Unknown Position

"Because of its importance to society, lowering the cost of education â and particularly higher education â must be a priority. In Congress, Bill Foster voted for initiatives that will significantly lower the cost of student loans, by removing subsidies to private banks that make student loans and, instead, put that money directly in the hands of students. In 2019, Bill also introduced H.R. 4645, the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Inclusion Act, to assist those who forgo potentially lucrative careers to serve the public good." (www.billfoster.com)
"College costs are especially important to vets returning from overseas, and Bill was proud to vote for the GI Bill for 21st Century which will help the men and women who volunteered to serve in Iraq and Afghanistan after 9/11 be able to go to college for free because of their commitment to our country." (www.billfoster.com)
"College textbooks costs also represent a considerable burden on students â averaging over $1200 per year. To relieve this burden, Bill introduced H.R. 1464 â legislation to provide federal support for the development of Open-Source Textbooks â high quality electronic textbooks that students can download for free from the internet." (www.billfoster.com)

Elections: Do you support requiring a government-issued identification in order to vote at the polls?

"The facts are clear â Russia attempted and succeeded in meddling in the 2016 elections, and tried again in 2020. This is unacceptable and threatens the foundation of our democracy. Thatâs why Bill voted for the Securing Americaâs Federal Elections (SAFE) Act, as well as H.R. 1, which would require verified paper ballots to be used in election systems to prevent hacking by a foreign government. Bill has also supported efforts that would require any campaign to report contacts with foreign agents attempting to interfere in elections to the FBI. Unfortunately, the Republican-led Senate repeatedly refused to act on these bills, leaving our election system at risk." (www.billfoster.com)
"The right to vote is the underpinning of American democracy. As the son of a civil rights lawyer, Bill is committed to making sure all Americans have equal access to the ballot box. Bill proudly voted for the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2019 â and Bill will continue supporting legislation that makes it easier for Americans to vote." (www.billfoster.com)
"This should not be a partisan issue. Americans must have complete faith in the accuracy of our elections, and Bill will continue fighting to get measures passed to protect our election systems." (www.billfoster.com)
Voted in favor of HR 5746 "Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act" (None)

Yes

Energy & Environment: Do you support government funding for the development of renewable energy (e.g. solar, wind, geo-thermal)?

Yes

"Climate change is a worldwide crisis that demands a worldwide solution. As the only physicist in Congress, Bill has been the leader in securing federally-funded research and development into clean, safe, and low-cost energy and storage technologies. These new technologies will allow the world to decarbonize, and they are cheaper than continuing to use fossil fuels. Developing these technologies will allow America and the entire world to decarbonize their economies at a cost they can afford." (www.billfoster.com)
"Directing energy policy is a complex and broad subject, requiring substantial economic and technological input, as it even seemingly minor policy shifts have significant impacts on our economy and environment. As a scientist and businessman, Bill Foster has the knowledge and experience we need to face the environmental and energy challenges of the 21st Century." (www.billfoster.com)
"Funding long-term energy research is crucial to our economic competitiveness and national security. However, during the last decade, we spent more money on the War in Iraq than we have invested in energy research and development throughout the entire history of our country. The Trump Administrationâs proposal to transfer $54B from the discretionary budget to the military would have had devastating consequences for national research priorities." (www.billfoster.com)

Energy & Environment: Do you support the federal government allowing permits for drilling on public lands?

"Recent technological developments in hydro-fracturing underground formations have dramatically increased U.S. reserves of natural gas. This will encourage a continuing shift to natural gas over the next few decades, which will have both economic and environmental benefits as long as the drilling is done in an environmentally responsible manner. Ultimately, however, we cannot drill our way out of the energy crisis." (www.billfoster.com)
"Today, @HouseGOP is pushing a bill that bans the federal government from using the SPR to lower gas prices until #BigOil is given open access to drill on public lands. This will result in higher gas prices & higher profits for oil executives. Iâm voting no to a #BigOilGiveaway." (twitter.com)

Yes

Guns: Do you generally support gun-control legislation (e.g. red flag laws, boyfriend loopholes)?

Yes

"We also need universal background checks. Over 90 percent of Americans support legislation to require background checks for all gun buyers, whether they are purchasing a firearm from a gun store, from a dealer, at a gun show, or on the internet." (www.billfoster.com)
"I proudly voted for H.R. 8 and H.R. 1112 which would close loopholes in purchasing firearms and ensure we have universal background checks. It is unconscionable that Senate Republicans have refused to even vote on this critical safety measure for our children and all Americans" (www.billfoster.com)
"It is a moral shame that we have so many ways to prevent gun violence in this country, but we have a Congress who has failed to do anything to protect Americans. I support and have voted for numerous pieces of federal legislation to strengthen gun laws and keep weapons out of the hands of people who should not have them. Americans deserve to live, work, and play in communities, homes, schools, and workplaces that are safe from anyone who wants to turn them into places of violence. I support a ban on assault weapons that are designed to kill as many people as possible in a short amount of time." (www.billfoster.com)

Health Care: Do you support a government-run (e.g. single-payer) healthcare program, such as Medicare-for-All?

"Bill Foster believes that health care is a basic human right and that we should continue moving towards universal coverage. One of Billâs proudest votes in Congress was for the Affordable Care Act in 2010. Bill supports and has voted for a robust public option because he believes it is vital to provide people with a high-quality, low-cost coverage option that competes with for-profit insurance plans. Bill remains committed to strengthening the ACA and ensuring that life-saving health care is available and affordable for everyone. President Bidenâs American Rescue Plan strengthened and deepened the ACA and Medicaid coverage to help ensure that life-saving health care is more available and affordable for everyone. Bill believes this step-by-step approach is the most politically viable path towards universal health care." (www.billfoster.com)
"Bill is focused on strengthening Medicare to ensure it continues to serve the needs of Americans as they age. One way to do this is to move Medicare away from a fee-for-service model that incentivizes waste and overspending on healthcare and instead encourage payment models focused on paying for quality care and positive health outcomes." (www.billfoster.com)
"The next steps forward in our healthcare system must be to promote universal access to coverage by allowing Americans to buy into a public option, and to further expand eligibility and coverage for Medicaid â two policies that Bill has voted for repeatedly and are supported by the overwhelming majority of Americans. Americans should have a choice between private insurance and a public option in accessing quality and affordable health care, which is why Bill is supporting these initiatives. Employers should also have the choice to enroll their employees in a public option, which would lead to competition on the open market and thereby reduce prices." (www.billfoster.com)

Yes

Health Care: Do you support expanding paid family AND/OR medical leave benefits (e.g. maternity leave)?

Yes

Despite exhaustive research, Vote Smart was unable to find information about this candidate's position.

Yes

Health Care: Should the government be able to regulate the cost of prescription drugs?

Yes

"Bill was proud to vote for H.R. 3, the Elijah E. Cummings Lower Drug Costs Now Act which passed the House on December 12, 2019. There is no reason Americans should be forced to pay more than people in other countries for the same medication. H.R. 3 would offer major cost savings for more than 500,000 people in the 11th District who have private health insurance, and over 72,000 people enrolled in Medicare Part D. In addition, by allowing Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices, it will generate hundreds of billions of dollars in cost-savings that will be reinvested to expand Medicare to include vision, dental, and hearing coverage. Itâs time that we put a stop to skyrocketing prescription drug prices that are devastating hardworking American families." (www.billfoster.com)
Voted in favor of HR 3 "Lower Drug Costs Now Act of 2019" (None)
Voted in favor of HR 5378 "Lower Costs, More Transparency Act" (None)

Yes

Immigration: Do you support increasing security along the southern US border?

Yes

"Bill is also supports the 2013 Comprehensive Immigration Reform Bill that passed the Senate but was denied a vote under the Republican control of John Boehner and Paul Ryan. This commonsense compromise bill would have provided funding for border security while also ensuring we reformed our outdated immigration system. It provided a strict but fair pathway to citizenship for those undocumented residents who were able to pay a modest fine, pay back-taxes, and pass a criminal background check. Bill believes the framework in this bill should be the foundation for a new comprehensive immigration reform package." (www.billfoster.com)

Immigration: Do you support requiring immigrants to return to their country of origin before they are eligible for citizenship, regardless of their immigration status?

"Bill has been a longtime supporter of the DREAM Act, first voting for the bill in 2010 and again in 2019. Children brought to the U.S. by their parents deserve a fair chance at American citizenship and the chance to live out the American Dream in the only country many have ever known." (www.billfoster.com)

"The United States is a proud nation of immigrants and we must adhere to the promise of the American Dream. Our diversity is what makes us strong. Unfortunately, our immigration system is outdated and presents unnecessary challenges to immigrants who want to legally come to the United States. Bill supports President Bidenâs reversal of the Trump Administrationâs inhumane and counterproductive immigration policies, and his focus on alleviating the conditions which drive waves of immigrants to leave their home countries." (www.billfoster.com)

Yes

National Security: Do you support economic intervention as a means of resolving international conflicts?

Yes

Voted against HR 3774 "Stop Harboring Iranian Petroleum (SHIP) Act" (None)
Voted in favor of HR 340 "Hamas International Financing Prevention Act" (None)

Yes

National Security: Do you support the US providing increased offensive military aid to Ukraine?

Yes

"The U.S. Congress stands with Ukraine." (twitter.com)

Yes

Technology and Communication: Do you generally support increased regulations on social media companies (e.g. Tik Tok, Facebook, etc.)?

Yes

Voted in favor 7520 "Protecting Americans' Data from Foreign Adversaries Act of 2024" (justfacts.votesmart.org)
Voted in favor 7521 "Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act" (justfacts.votesmart.org)

Illinois Congressional Election 2024 Political Courage Test

Abortion and Reproductive Health

Pro-choice		Do you generally support pro-choice or pro-life legislation?
No		Do you support the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade?
I believe that the decision to have an abortion should be between a woman and her doctor, not controlled by politicians and the government. I was proud to cosponsor and vote for the Women?s Health Protection Act last Congress, which would codify Roe v. Wade into law. I will oppose any nationwide abortion ban. I am proud to have been endorsed by the Planned Parenthood Action Fund and to have a 100% Lifetime Pro-Choice rating from them.

Budget, Spending, and Taxes

Yes		Do you support expanding federal funding to support social safety net programs such as Social Security and Medicare?
No		Do you support a decrease in income taxes in order to balance the budget?
Yes		Do you support a wealth tax in order to pay for public programs?
In the next 20 Years, roughly $80 Trillion will be passed from wealthy Boomers to their fortunate children. A fraction of this inherited wealth would be sufficient to retire our $30T national debt. While I would support some income tax decreases for middle-class and lower-income families to help them better afford life?s necessities, it?s clear from the Republicans? disastrous Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that cutting taxes is not a way to decrease the deficit. Our current top tax bracket is 37%. When my little brother and I started our business, the top marginal tax rate was 70% and we knew that if we became very, very successful, we would be paying much more in taxes. That seemed like a fair deal and did not stop us from working day and night to get our business up and running. We should also reestablish a corporate alternative minimum tax, which would prevent large corporations from getting away with paying $0 in taxes.

Campaign Finance

Yes		Do you support the regulation of indirect campaign contributions from corporations, unions, and individuals?
Last Congress I cosponsored and voted for H.R. 1, the For the People Act, a once-in-a-generation transformation of our country?s election laws to strengthen our democracy. This includes requiring indirect ?dark money? contributions to fully disclose their identity. This year I have also been awarded an ?A? rating by End Citizens United on their 2024 Legislative Scorecard, which grades Members of Congress on their votes and their support for voting rights and anti-corruption measures, and their personal ethical behavior.

Crime & Public Safety

No		Do you support protecting government officials, including law enforcement officers, from personal liability in civil lawsuits concerning alleged misconduct?
I was proud to cosponsor and vote for the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, which makes meaningful reforms to our nation?s policing system to stop the excessive use of force and murder of our black and brown neighbors. This includes ending unlimited qualified immunity, which prevents us from holding police officers personally accountable for abuse of power.

Defense

No		Do you support increasing defense spending?
Our country has already built up the strongest military in the world. I support giving our troops the funds they need to keep us safe, but that additional spending should go toward more cost-effective weapons systems and our diplomatic efforts so we can more peacefully resolve conflicts and take care of Americans in need. One of the biggest problems with our military budget is that it contains billions of dollars in obsolete military systems and bases that the Pentagon does not even want, but are inserted to provide jobs for politically connected regions. The war in Ukraine has shown that inexpensive drone systems are much more cost-effective and lethal than traditional tanks, armor and artillery, but the Military-Industrial Lobby supports overpriced incumbent weapon systems. Another problem is that for decades, it has been unable to pass an audit at a level that would be expected for a commercial enterprise.

Economy

Yes		Do you support federal spending as a means of promoting economic growth (e.g. grants, tax incentives)?
Yes		Do you support the federal government increasing funding for affordable housing programs?
Yes		Do you support the federal government taking action, beyond those of the Federal Reserve, to alleviate inflation?
It has been proven beneficial again and again for the government to provide economic stimulus in a time of crisis. This was needed to end the Great Depression, to reverse the Financial Crisis of 2007, and to heal the financial crisis from the Covid pandemic.

Education

Unknown Position		Do you support the forgiveness of federal student loan debt?
"Because of its importance to society, lowering the cost of education â and particularly higher education â must be a priority. In Congress, Bill Foster voted for initiatives that will significantly lower the cost of student loans, by removing subsidies to private banks that make student loans and, instead, put that money directly in the hands of students.

Student loan borrowers are in desperate need of relief, but we must pair any loan forgiveness with additional reforms to ensure that we don?t end up back in this exact same situation in a few years, when another generation of borrowers would have to cross their fingers and hope for relief. As a general principle, I favor forgiveness of student loan debt when the amount of payments made have exceeded the amount originally borrowed - which is typically the case for former students who have been carrying debt for decades. I also believe that special consideration should be made for students who have been scammed by for-profit colleges. In addition, to make loans more affordable, as well as bills like the College Affordability Act that incentivize increased state investment in their public schools and increase federal aid to students like Pell Grants.

Elections

Do you support requiring a government-issued identification in order to vote at the polls?

Energy & Environment

Yes		Do you support government funding for the development of renewable energy (e.g. solar, wind, geo-thermal)?
No		Do you support the federal government allowing permits for drilling on public lands?
Thanks to decades of federal R&D investment, we have now reached the point where electric vehicles and renewable energy are now cost-competitive with fossil fuels. The next strategic targets for federal research are low-cost energy storage to allow more renewable energy to be put on the grid, advanced nuclear energy, and fusion energy.

Guns

Yes		Do you generally support gun-control legislation (e.g. red flag laws, boyfriend loopholes)?
I am proud to have an ?F? rating from the Gun Owners of America

Health Care

No		Do you support a government-run (e.g. single-payer) healthcare program, such as Medicare-for-All?
Yes		Do you support expanding paid family AND/OR medical leave benefits (e.g. maternity leave)?

I am a strong supporter of universal health coverage, but I believe there are better ways to get there than Medicare for All. For instance, I support lowering the Medicare age, as well as strengthening the ACA and closing the Medicaid gap so that low-income and middle class families can access health coverage. I also believe the government should negotiate the cost of prescription drugs and was proud to vote to make this happen. At the same time we must be careful to preserve incentives for innovation. We must find a balance that both allows innovation to thrive while ensuring every person can access its benefits.

Immigration

Yes		Do you support increasing security along the southern US border?
No		Do you support requiring immigrants to return to their country of origin before they are eligible for citizenship, regardless of their immigration status?
We must increase our border security because, along with asylum-seekers, drug cartels carrying deadly opioids are illegally crossing our southern border. I support smart border security investments, such as thermal cameras and other sensors, that are much more effective and cost-efficient than physical barriers like a wall or fence. Additionally, I support additional investments in our immigration court system so asylum-seekers can get fair and quick rulings, preventing them from hanging in the balance for what can be a years-long process.

National Security

Yes		Do you support economic intervention as a means of resolving international conflicts?
Yes		Do you support the US providing increased offensive military aid to Ukraine?
Sanctions have historically been successful in resolving some international conflicts while minimizing the lives lost in combat. Additionally, foreign aid, especially humanitarian aid, has allowed our allies and innocent civilians to get the resources they need amid combat, without U.S. soldiers being put in harm?s way. We should use diplomatic tools whenever possible to avert military conflict. I believe the free world has a special duty to support Ukraine because it gave up its nuclear weapons in return for a guarantee of territorial integrity.

Technology and Communication

Yes		Do you generally support increased regulations on social media companies (e.g. Tik Tok, Facebook, etc.)?
We should place guardrails on social media companies to the extent it is necessary to protect U.S. national security and election security, prevent internet-based crimes, and protect childrens? physical and mental health.

Legislative Priorities

There are dozens of critically important issues the federal government must address. Three that I will focus on are climate change, reproductive rights, and fairness in our financial system. Climate change poses an existential crisis to our world. I spent decades of my career working as a physicist at a Department of Energy laboratory, so I have a deep understanding of the key research and engineering that is needed for our country to reach net-zero emissions. I was proud for my Better Energy Storage Technology (BEST) Act to become law in 2020, which funds research into how we can best store energy on the electric grid. This storage is critical for people to get a steady flow of electricity when our renewable energy sources, like wind and solar, are intermittent. I?ve also successfully pushed for funding for this research in the years since the law?s passage. I was also proud to support the Inflation Reduction Act, which was the largest clean energy and climate investment in our nation?s history. I?m also focused on energy transmission, since renewable energy is often produced far from where it is needed; we can build solar farms out here in Chicagoland, but they will never produce as much electricity as can be transmitted from solar farms in the always-sunny American Southwest. My record on reproductive rights is discussed more deeply in the next question, but suffice it to say that reproductive rights are basic human rights, and they are under attack. If a family can not decide if and when to have children, the health and financial consequences can be catastrophic. Ensuring access to a broad spectrum of reproductive health services, including abortion and birth control, is critical. Finally, though it may not be as popular as the other issues, I believe building a fairer financial system is critical. As a member of the Financial Services Committee, I?m focused on ensuring all Americans have access to credit and a bank account with fair terms. By putting up common sense safeguards, we can help families of all races and incomes achieve the dream of home ownership, keep lower-income families safe from loans with catastrophically high interest rates designed to keep them in debt forever, and prevent people from being charged exorbitant fees for overdrafts and other simple mistakes. To that end, I?ve been a strong supporter of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, signing an amicus brief in support of them as Republicans try to destroy the agency in court. I also cosponsored the Overdraft Protection Act to protect families from unfair or deceptive fees from their banks, among many other bills.

Is Foster voting like he said he would?

I spent decades of my ' 'career working as a ' 'physicist at a Department of ' 'Energy laboratory, so I have ' 'a deep understanding of the ' 'key research and engineering ' 'that is needed for our ' 'country to reach net-zero ' 'emissions. I was proud for ' 'my Better Energy Storage ' 'Technology (BEST) Act to ' 'become law in 2020, which ' 'funds research into how we ' 'can best store energy on the ' 'electric grid. This storage ' 'is critical for people to ' 'get a steady flow of ' 'electricity when our ' 'renewable energy sources, ' 'like wind and solar, are ' 'intermittent. I?ve also ' 'successfully pushed for ' 'funding for this research in ' 'the years since the law?s ' 'passage. I was also proud to ' 'support the Inflation ' 'Reduction Act, which was the ' 'largest clean energy and ' 'climate investment in our ' 'nation?s history. I?m also ' 'focused on energy ' 'transmission, since ' 'renewable energy is often ' 'produced far from where it ' 'is needed; we can build ' 'solar farms out here in ' 'Chicagoland, but they will ' 'never produce as much ' 'electricity as can be ' 'transmitted from solar farms ' 'in the always-sunny American ' 'Southwest. \r\n' 'My record on reproductive ' 'rights is discussed more ' 'deeply in the next question, ' 'but suffice it to say that ' 'reproductive rights are ' 'basic human rights, and they ' 'are under attack. If a ' 'family can not decide if and ' 'when to have children, the ' 'health and financial ' 'consequences can be ' 'catastrophic. Ensuring ' 'access to a broad spectrum ' 'of reproductive health ' 'services, including abortion ' 'and birth control, is ' 'critical. Finally, though it ' 'may not be as popular as the ' 'other issues, I believe ' 'building a fairer financial ' 'system is critical. \r\n' 'As a member of the Financial ' 'Services Committee, I?m ' 'focused on ensuring all ' 'Americans have access to ' 'credit and a bank account ' 'with fair terms. By putting ' 'up common sense safeguards, ' 'we can help families of all ' 'races and incomes achieve ' 'the dream of home ownership, ' 'keep lower-income families ' 'safe from loans with ' 'catastrophically high ' 'interest rates designed to ' 'keep them in debt forever, ' 'and prevent people from ' 'being charged exorbitant ' 'fees for overdrafts and ' 'other simple mistakes. To ' 'that end, I?ve been a strong ' 'supporter of the Consumer ' 'Financial Protection Bureau, ' 'signing an amicus brief in ' 'support of them as ' 'Republicans try to destroy ' 'the agency in court.

Three that I will ' 'focus on are climate change, ' 'reproductive rights, and ' 'fairness in our financial ' 'system. Climate change poses ' 'an existential crisis to our ' 'world. I spent decades of my ' 'career working as a ' 'physicist at a Department of ' 'Energy laboratory, so I have ' 'a deep understanding of the ' 'key research and engineering ' 'that is needed for our ' 'country to reach net-zero ' 'emissions. I was proud for ' 'my Better Energy Storage ' 'Technology (BEST) Act to ' 'become law in 2020, which ' 'funds research into how we ' 'can best store energy on the ' 'electric grid. This storage ' 'is critical for people to ' 'get a steady flow of ' 'electricity when our ' 'renewable energy sources, ' 'like wind and solar, are ' 'intermittent. I?ve also ' 'successfully pushed for ' 'funding for this research in ' 'the years since the law?s ' 'passage. I was also proud to ' 'support the Inflation ' 'Reduction Act, which was the ' 'largest clean energy and ' 'climate investment in our ' 'nation?s history. I?m also ' 'focused on energy ' 'transmission, since ' 'renewable energy is often ' 'produced far from where it ' 'is needed; we can build ' 'solar farms out here in ' 'Chicagoland, but they will ' 'never produce as much ' 'electricity as can be ' 'transmitted from solar farms ' 'in the always-sunny American ' 'Southwest. \r\n' 'My record on reproductive ' 'rights is discussed more ' 'deeply in the next question, ' 'but suffice it to say that ' 'reproductive rights are ' 'basic human rights, and they ' 'are under attack. If a ' 'family can not decide if and ' 'when to have children, the ' 'health and financial ' 'consequences can be ' 'catastrophic. Ensuring ' 'access to a broad spectrum ' 'of reproductive health ' 'services, including abortion ' 'and birth control, is ' 'critical. Finally, though it ' 'may not be as popular as the ' 'other issues, I believe ' 'building a fairer financial ' 'system is critical. \r\n' 'As a member of the Financial ' 'Services Committee, I?m ' 'focused on ensuring all ' 'Americans have access to ' 'credit and a bank account ' 'with fair terms. By putting ' 'up common sense safeguards, ' 'we can help families of all ' 'races and incomes achieve ' 'the dream of home ownership, ' 'keep lower-income families ' 'safe from loans with ' 'catastrophically high ' 'interest rates designed to ' 'keep them in debt forever, ' 'and prevent people from ' 'being charged exorbitant ' 'fees for overdrafts and ' 'other simple mistakes. To ' 'that end, I?ve been a strong ' 'supporter of the Consumer ' 'Financial Protection Bureau, ' 'signing an amicus brief in ' 'support of them as ' 'Republicans try to destroy ' 'the agency in court. I also ' 'cosponsored the Overdraft ' 'Protection Act to protect ' 'families from unfair or ' 'deceptive fees from their ' 'banks, among many other ' 'bills.\r\n'], 'npatoption_text': [], 'npatrow_text': [], 'our_npatoption_text': [], 'returnedCitations': []}}], 'socialWebaddresses': [5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10], 'title': 'Bill Foster - Political Positions - '}

I spent decades of my ' 'career working as a ' 'physicist at a Department of ' 'Energy laboratory, so I have ' 'a deep understanding of the ' 'key research and engineering ' 'that is needed for our ' 'country to reach net-zero ' 'emissions. I was proud for ' 'my Better Energy Storage ' 'Technology (BEST) Act to ' 'become law in 2020, which ' 'funds research into how we ' 'can best store energy on the ' 'electric grid. This storage ' 'is critical for people to ' 'get a steady flow of ' 'electricity when our ' 'renewable energy sources, ' 'like wind and solar, are ' 'intermittent. I?ve also ' 'successfully pushed for ' 'funding for this research in ' 'the years since the law?s ' 'passage. I was also proud to ' 'support the Inflation ' 'Reduction Act, which was the ' 'largest clean energy and ' 'climate investment in our ' 'nation?s history. I?m also ' 'focused on energy ' 'transmission, since ' 'renewable energy is often ' 'produced far from where it ' 'is needed; we can build ' 'solar farms out here in ' 'Chicagoland, but they will ' 'never produce as much ' 'electricity as can be ' 'transmitted from solar farms ' 'in the always-sunny American ' 'Southwest. \r\n' 'My record on reproductive ' 'rights is discussed more ' 'deeply in the next question, ' 'but suffice it to say that ' 'reproductive rights are ' 'basic human rights, and they ' 'are under attack. If a ' 'family can not decide if and ' 'when to have children, the ' 'health and financial ' 'consequences can be ' 'catastrophic. Ensuring ' 'access to a broad spectrum ' 'of reproductive health ' 'services, including abortion ' 'and birth control, is ' 'critical. Finally, though it ' 'may not be as popular as the ' 'other issues, I believe ' 'building a fairer financial ' 'system is critical. \r\n' 'As a member of the Financial ' 'Services Committee, I?m ' 'focused on ensuring all ' 'Americans have access to ' 'credit and a bank account ' 'with fair terms. By putting ' 'up common sense safeguards, ' 'we can help families of all ' 'races and incomes achieve ' 'the dream of home ownership, ' 'keep lower-income families ' 'safe from loans with ' 'catastrophically high ' 'interest rates designed to ' 'keep them in debt forever, ' 'and prevent people from ' 'being charged exorbitant ' 'fees for overdrafts and ' 'other simple mistakes. To ' 'that end, I?ve been a strong ' 'supporter of the Consumer ' 'Financial Protection Bureau, ' 'signing an amicus brief in ' 'support of them as ' 'Republicans try to destroy ' 'the agency in court.

I spent decades of my ' 'career working as a ' 'physicist at a Department of ' 'Energy laboratory, so I have ' 'a deep understanding of the ' 'key research and engineering ' 'that is needed for our ' 'country to reach net-zero ' 'emissions. I was proud for ' 'my Better Energy Storage ' 'Technology (BEST) Act to ' 'become law in 2020, which ' 'funds research into how we ' 'can best store energy on the ' 'electric grid. This storage ' 'is critical for people to ' 'get a steady flow of ' 'electricity when our ' 'renewable energy sources, ' 'like wind and solar, are ' 'intermittent. I?ve also ' 'successfully pushed for ' 'funding for this research in ' 'the years since the law?s ' 'passage. I was also proud to ' 'support the Inflation ' 'Reduction Act, which was the ' 'largest clean energy and ' 'climate investment in our ' 'nation?s history. I?m also ' 'focused on energy ' 'transmission, since ' 'renewable energy is often ' 'produced far from where it ' 'is needed; we can build ' 'solar farms out here in ' 'Chicagoland, but they will ' 'never produce as much ' 'electricity as can be ' 'transmitted from solar farms ' 'in the always-sunny American ' 'Southwest. \r\n' 'My record on reproductive ' 'rights is discussed more ' 'deeply in the next question, ' 'but suffice it to say that ' 'reproductive rights are ' 'basic human rights, and they ' 'are under attack. If a ' 'family can not decide if and ' 'when to have children, the ' 'health and financial ' 'consequences can be ' 'catastrophic. Ensuring ' 'access to a broad spectrum ' 'of reproductive health ' 'services, including abortion ' 'and birth control, is ' 'critical. Finally, though it ' 'may not be as popular as the ' 'other issues, I believe ' 'building a fairer financial ' 'system is critical. \r\n' 'As a member of the Financial ' 'Services Committee, I?m ' 'focused on ensuring all ' 'Americans have access to ' 'credit and a bank account ' 'with fair terms. By putting ' 'up common sense safeguards, ' 'we can help families of all ' 'races and incomes achieve ' 'the dream of home ownership, ' 'keep lower-income families ' 'safe from loans with ' 'catastrophically high ' 'interest rates designed to ' 'keep them in debt forever, ' 'and prevent people from ' 'being charged exorbitant ' 'fees for overdrafts and ' 'other simple mistakes. To ' 'that end, I?ve been a strong ' 'supporter of the Consumer ' 'Financial Protection Bureau, ' 'signing an amicus brief in ' 'support of them as ' 'Republicans try to destroy ' 'the agency in court.

Three that I will ' 'focus on are climate change, ' 'reproductive rights, and ' 'fairness in our financial ' 'system. Climate change poses ' 'an existential crisis to our ' 'world. I spent decades of my ' 'career working as a ' 'physicist at a Department of ' 'Energy laboratory, so I have ' 'a deep understanding of the ' 'key research and engineering ' 'that is needed for our ' 'country to reach net-zero ' 'emissions. I was proud for ' 'my Better Energy Storage ' 'Technology (BEST) Act to ' 'become law in 2020, which ' 'funds research into how we ' 'can best store energy on the ' 'electric grid. This storage ' 'is critical for people to ' 'get a steady flow of ' 'electricity when our ' 'renewable energy sources, ' 'like wind and solar, are ' 'intermittent. I?ve also ' 'successfully pushed for ' 'funding for this research in ' 'the years since the law?s ' 'passage. I was also proud to ' 'support the Inflation ' 'Reduction Act, which was the ' 'largest clean energy and ' 'climate investment in our ' 'nation?s history. I?m also ' 'focused on energy ' 'transmission, since ' 'renewable energy is often ' 'produced far from where it ' 'is needed; we can build ' 'solar farms out here in ' 'Chicagoland, but they will ' 'never produce as much ' 'electricity as can be ' 'transmitted from solar farms ' 'in the always-sunny American ' 'Southwest. \r\n' 'My record on reproductive ' 'rights is discussed more ' 'deeply in the next question, ' 'but suffice it to say that ' 'reproductive rights are ' 'basic human rights, and they ' 'are under attack. If a ' 'family can not decide if and ' 'when to have children, the ' 'health and financial ' 'consequences can be ' 'catastrophic. Ensuring ' 'access to a broad spectrum ' 'of reproductive health ' 'services, including abortion ' 'and birth control, is ' 'critical. Finally, though it ' 'may not be as popular as the ' 'other issues, I believe ' 'building a fairer financial ' 'system is critical. \r\n' 'As a member of the Financial ' 'Services Committee, I?m ' 'focused on ensuring all ' 'Americans have access to ' 'credit and a bank account ' 'with fair terms. By putting ' 'up common sense safeguards, ' 'we can help families of all ' 'races and incomes achieve ' 'the dream of home ownership, ' 'keep lower-income families ' 'safe from loans with ' 'catastrophically high ' 'interest rates designed to ' 'keep them in debt forever, ' 'and prevent people from ' 'being charged exorbitant ' 'fees for overdrafts and ' 'other simple mistakes. To ' 'that end, I?ve been a strong ' 'supporter of the Consumer ' 'Financial Protection Bureau, ' 'signing an amicus brief in ' 'support of them as ' 'Republicans try to destroy ' 'the agency in court. I also ' 'cosponsored the Overdraft ' 'Protection Act to protect ' 'families from unfair or ' 'deceptive fees from their ' 'banks, among many other ' 'bills.\r\n'], 'npatoption_text': [], 'npatrow_text': [], 'our_npatoption_text': [], 'returnedCitations': []}}], 'socialWebaddresses': [5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10], 'title': 'Bill Foster - Political Positions - '} {'block': <Block Node: content.

I was proud for ' 'my Better Energy Storage ' 'Technology (BEST) Act to ' 'become law in 2020, which ' 'funds research into how we ' 'can best store energy on the ' 'electric grid. This storage ' 'is critical for people to ' 'get a steady flow of ' 'electricity when our ' 'renewable energy sources, ' 'like wind and solar, are ' 'intermittent. I?ve also ' 'successfully pushed for ' 'funding for this research in ' 'the years since the law?s ' 'passage. I was also proud to ' 'support the Inflation ' 'Reduction Act, which was the ' 'largest clean energy and ' 'climate investment in our ' 'nation?s history. I?m also ' 'focused on energy ' 'transmission, since ' 'renewable energy is often ' 'produced far from where it ' 'is needed; we can build ' 'solar farms out here in ' 'Chicagoland, but they will ' 'never produce as much ' 'electricity as can be ' 'transmitted from solar farms ' 'in the always-sunny American ' 'Southwest. \r\n' 'My record on reproductive ' 'rights is discussed more ' 'deeply in the next question, ' 'but suffice it to say that ' 'reproductive rights are ' 'basic human rights, and they ' 'are under attack. If a ' 'family can not decide if and ' 'when to have children, the ' 'health and financial ' 'consequences can be ' 'catastrophic. Ensuring ' 'access to a broad spectrum ' 'of reproductive health ' 'services, including abortion ' 'and birth control, is ' 'critical. Finally, though it ' 'may not be as popular as the ' 'other issues, I believe ' 'building a fairer financial ' 'system is critical. \r\n' 'As a member of the Financial ' 'Services Committee, I?m ' 'focused on ensuring all ' 'Americans have access to ' 'credit and a bank account ' 'with fair terms.

I spent decades of my ' 'career working as a ' 'physicist at a Department of ' 'Energy laboratory, so I have ' 'a deep understanding of the ' 'key research and engineering ' 'that is needed for our ' 'country to reach net-zero ' 'emissions. I was proud for ' 'my Better Energy Storage ' 'Technology (BEST) Act to ' 'become law in 2020, which ' 'funds research into how we ' 'can best store energy on the ' 'electric grid.

Ensuring ' 'access to a broad spectrum ' 'of reproductive health ' 'services, including abortion ' 'and birth control, is ' 'critical.

I spent decades of my ' 'career working as a ' 'physicist at a Department of ' 'Energy laboratory, so I have ' 'a deep understanding of the ' 'key research and engineering ' 'that is needed for our ' 'country to reach net-zero ' 'emissions. I was proud for ' 'my Better Energy Storage ' 'Technology (BEST) Act to ' 'become law in 2020, which ' 'funds research into how we ' 'can best store energy on the ' 'electric grid. This storage ' 'is critical for people to ' 'get a steady flow of ' 'electricity when our ' 'renewable energy sources, ' 'like wind and solar, are ' 'intermittent. I?ve also ' 'successfully pushed for ' 'funding for this research in ' 'the years since the law?s ' 'passage. I was also proud to ' 'support the Inflation ' 'Reduction Act, which was the ' 'largest clean energy and ' 'climate investment in our ' 'nation?s history. I?m also ' 'focused on energy ' 'transmission, since ' 'renewable energy is often ' 'produced far from where it ' 'is needed; we can build ' 'solar farms out here in ' 'Chicagoland, but they will ' 'never produce as much ' 'electricity as can be ' 'transmitted from solar farms ' 'in the always-sunny American ' 'Southwest. \r\n' 'My record on reproductive ' 'rights is discussed more ' 'deeply in the next question, ' 'but suffice it to say that ' 'reproductive rights are ' 'basic human rights, and they ' 'are under attack. If a ' 'family can not decide if and ' 'when to have children, the ' 'health and financial ' 'consequences can be ' 'catastrophic. Ensuring ' 'access to a broad spectrum ' 'of reproductive health ' 'services, including abortion ' 'and birth control, is ' 'critical. Finally, though it ' 'may not be as popular as the ' 'other issues, I believe ' 'building a fairer financial ' 'system is critical. \r\n' 'As a member of the Financial ' 'Services Committee, I?m ' 'focused on ensuring all ' 'Americans have access to ' 'credit and a bank account ' 'with fair terms. By putting ' 'up common sense safeguards, ' 'we can help families of all ' 'races and incomes achieve ' 'the dream of home ownership, ' 'keep lower-income families ' 'safe from loans with ' 'catastrophically high ' 'interest rates designed to ' 'keep them in debt forever, ' 'and prevent people from ' 'being charged exorbitant ' 'fees for overdrafts and ' 'other simple mistakes. To ' 'that end, I?ve been a strong ' 'supporter of the Consumer ' 'Financial Protection Bureau, ' 'signing an amicus brief in ' 'support of them as ' 'Republicans try to destroy ' 'the agency in court.
