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.

  • "Biden says today’s abortion ruling takes us back 150 years. In a sense he’s right. It was about 150 years ago that Republicans forced Democrats to give up their slaves. Now Republicans are stopping Democrats from slaughtering babies. I’m glad Biden sees the parallel!" (x.com)
  • "I am unabashedly pro-life. Every child is made in God's image and deserves the right to life. Future generations will look back on aboriton the same way we look back on slavery. Abortion is an abomination that needs to be abolished." (brandongillforcongress.com)

  • "High ranking Biden officials spent all of 2021 telling us inflation wouldn’t be a problem, while at the same time pursuing insanely inflationary policies: printing money like water, massive govt spending, more red tape, extended unemployment benefits. We need accountability" (x.com)
  • "The problem with the housing market isn’t that housing demand needs to fall, as Biden’s Fed leaders suggest. It’s that housing supply needs to increase. Only a malevolent and out of touch financial elite would suggest an American’s desire for homeownership should be curtailed." (x.com)

  • "Cut red tape across the industry and "Drill Baby Drill" (brandongillforcongress.com)
  • "The solution to high oil prices is not to beg Iran and Venezuela to sell us oil, it’s to UNLEASH AMERICAN ENERGY INDEPENDENCE. Approve domestic pipelines, approve LNG export terminal licenses, allow new oil and gas leases on fed lands, cut red tape. It’s mind-numbingly simple" (x.com)
  • "We cannot be a free country if we are dependent on foreign adversaries for our energy. Texas is the energy capital of the country and we should lead the nation in becoming energy independent - just like it was under President Trump." (brandongillforcongress.com)

  • "The Biden Administration has approved less land for oil and gas drilling than any previous administration since WW2. Remember that when you are filling up your tank." (x.com)

  • "Do not give an inch on gun control. The Second Amendment is the most important, because without it, all the others will inevitably fall." (x.com)
  • "The individual right to own a firearm has roots going back to — and beyond — our nation’s founding. Firearms constituted a main form of defense from predators, criminals, and a tyrannical government. They also helped our nation tame this land from sea to shining sea. Even today, farmers, ranchers, and hunters rely on firearms to protect livestock and provide for their families. Outside of that, millions of Americans keep firearms to protect their families from opportunistic burglars, criminal gangs, and random acts of violence. But most importantly, our Second Amendment exists so that we Americans can protect ourselves against a despotic, overreaching government. Our Second Amendment is the one that protects all the others. As a proud gun owner myself, I stand by our Founding documents— Our Second Amendment shall not be infringed. I will not give an inch on gun control." (brandongillforcongress.com)

  • "Biden's open-borders policy is an abomination. It's extremely dangerous to our communities, and it's tearing our homeland apart.

(brandongillforcongress.com)
  • "Even if America and NATO were to totally eject Russia from Ukraine, America’s national interests would see limited gains. The downside to militarily defending Ukraine could be catastrophic for America and the world. Risking everything for relatively paltry gains is suicidal." (x.com)
