In their own words
Priorities
Statements, quoted without a stance
- Protect legal access to abortion
“On a personal level, I prefer to leave medical decisions up to the patients and their doctors.”[5]
On his campaign website's issues page (site last updated May 2024), in a section saying he has a "more nuanced view on abortion"
- Public funding for school choice (vouchers / charters)
“Advocates for Charter Schools may find themselves disheartened, as this represents yet another method of government subsidization. My main issue with them is that you still have to ask the government for permission.”[5]
