Issue Positions

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.

  • "Today we should be celebrating 51 years since Roe v. Wade established the right to an abortion. Instead, we've spent two years fighting extremists looking to enact a nationwide abortion ban. Abortion is health care. And I won't stop fighting for people's fundamental rights." (x.com)
  • "Women deserve access to safe and effective abortion care." (x.com)
  • "Women should have the right to make healthcare decisions that are right for them and their families. Over 70% of Americans think that women should have a legal right to an abortion. Stripping women’s health care funding from the federal budget and removing protections for women’s healthcare from our laws will hurt families across the country and in Colorado. In Congress, I have fought to protect a woman’s right to choose, while simultaneously working to continue funding critical resources like Planned Parenthood." (jasoncrowforcongress.com)
  • Rated 100% by the Planned Parenthood Action Fund (justfacts.votesmart.org)
  • "Congress must keep up with the times and expand Social Security benefits NOW." (x.com)

  • Rated 100% by the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare (NCPSM) (justfacts.votesmart.org)
  • "Coloradans work hard. They deserve an economy that works just as hard for them. This year, I helped pass tax cuts to make it happen." (x.com)
  • Voted in favor of HR 7024: "Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act of 2024" (votesmart.org)

  • "Elected officials should be accountable to the people who elect them – not special interests & big corporations." (x.com)
  • "House Republicans chose special interests and mega-donors over the American people. Our democracy is not for sale. My amendments would help put an end to corrupt influence, increase transparency, and restore public trust in government." (x.com)
  • "Washington is broken. Too many politicians are in the pockets of the special interests that spend millions of dollars to get them elected. They stack the decks for their donors and Colorado families pay the price. We can unrig the system by ending the flood of unlimited and undisclosed money that is drowning out the voices of regular people." (jasoncrowforcongress.com)
  • "I was proud to introduce my first piece of legislation as a Member of Congress, the End Dark Money Act, to crack down on dark money in politics and close the loophole that allows mega-donors to hide their political contributions through so-called "social welfare" organizations. I also cosponsored the DISCLOSE Act, which would require organizations spending money in federal elections to disclose their donors, and the SHIELD act which requires candidates to report any offers of assistance from foreign governments to law enforcement." (jasoncrowforcongress.com)
  • "In Congress, I’ve helped bridge the trust divide between law enforcement and our community.

  • "America needs to resume its global leadership position in international institutions, and promote human rights and democracy abroad. The current administration’s foreign policy has frightened our allies, weakened our alliances, and signaled to our enemies that we are weak. Retreating from our global leadership position is not an option, and will not move the world to a safer, cleaner, and more prosperous place for our children." (jasoncrowforcongress.com)
