Do you support the recent U.S. military operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro?

"Yet another stunt by this administration to posture against China. Was it effective, maybe in the short term, but we went into a sovereign nation and used military force to remove their head of state. This is wildly unethical and immoral on the global stage. This should not be a precedent that we are setting. While China is watching us, we also have an entire international set of allies that are essential to our global security. We must have a national security plan that makes sense within the context of our relationships and our morals at home."

Do you support revising Title IX to limit participation in female sports based on an individual's reproductive biology and genetics at birth?

"When I played field hockey, there was nothing that motivated me more than when I saw the other team was co-ed. We have massive issues in this country like kids who are hungry and unhoused, people who cannot afford life-saving medications, and a housing crisis... let's focus on the things we need to address immediately instead of getting into arguments that don't actually impact the majority of people."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2026

Should the federal government ban some abortions?

"The federal government should stay out of reproductive care which should fall on the shoulders of medical care providers. Just like insurance companies should not be making the call about what care is needed for a patient, neither should the federal government. Banning abortion does not mean they do not happen, it means the ones that do occur are more dangerous. What we should be doing is working to increase the availability of reproductive care, contraception, sexual education, and accessible clinics in our communities. I think we can all agree that we can work towards decreasing the need for abortions, so we should take active measures to reduce the need while also keeping access to reproductive care safe and affordable for all."

Should the U.S. Constitution have a Balanced Budget Amendment?

"For"

Should the federal government pass a law guaranteeing the right to choose abortion before fetal viability (generally 24 weeks gestation)?

"The federal government should stay out of reproductive care which should fall on the shoulders of medical care providers. Just like insurance companies should not be making the call about what care is needed for a patient, neither should the federal government. Banning abortion does not mean they do not happen, it means the ones that do occur are more dangerous.

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2026

Do you support increasing military aid to Taiwan?

"Taiwan aid absolutely must be restored and increased. This should include defensive measures, security guarantees, as well as re-establishing our soft power with USAID/Department of State to support bilateral dialogue. While we wage an illegal war in Iran, Taiwan is a sitting duck for China. We have a moral and ethical responsibility to stand with nations that are standing against existential threats."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2026

Do you support increasing oil and natural gas leases on publicly owned land and water?

"We need to be increasing our energy independence through sustainable and renewable models, not destroying our public lands and waters."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2026

Should the federal government reauthorize the Keystone XL pipeline?

"As stated regarding the leases on public lands, we need to put these funds into increasing our sustainable and renewable options while working with the awareness of our impact on the climate."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2026

Should military aid to Israel include a requirement that Israel take certain actions to reduce civilian casualties?

"The United States should become a participating member of the ICC and actively engage in leadership for upholding international law. As the only Jewish candidate, I have a unique perspective with family on the ground in Israel while I also helped raise $800k and supported medical teams going into Gaza."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2026

Should Congress pass legislation limiting the ability of large institutional investors to purchase multiple single-family homes for use as rental properties?

"The private equity act was for families like mine to invest our retirement in a physical item versus the stock market. We need to close loop holes to make sure this legislation is being utilized for the intended purpose instead of exploited by corporations."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2026

Do you support the option of mail-in ballots for all voters, not just absentees?

"Accessibility has been a key foundation of my work within education and for those who are not able to reach the voting poll locations for any variety of reasons, we should still have a safe way for them to exercise their constitutional rights. I am also a proponent of a national holiday for voting day and/or expanding to a multi-day voting system."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2026

Should the government legalize marijuana at the federal level?

"Declassifying and legalizing marijuana opens up research and development and regulation, as needed. It also decreases the insanity of incarceration that occurred do to the "war on drugs" that targeted marginalized communities. When we are looking at pain management and PTSD treatment, especially for our veterans, we should be utilizing the science behind cannabis and related products."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2026

Should the federal government reform Social Security by requiring means testing?

"We have an obligation to address the systems that are in place in this nation to reform them or modify them so that they work for the people who are depending on them and who have paid into them. We have some simple solutions to put into play to address the solvency of social security and then we can address any bigger picture issues with the system of social security as it stands."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2026

Should the federal government amend the Affordable Care Act/"Obamacare" by automatically enrolling every citizen in Medicare, replacing most private insurance?

"While I would vote for this, single-payer system was introduced in 1970. The American people need relief right now. We actually need real reform in our healthcare system. The federal government needs to take over re-risk insurance, we need guardrails in place for insurance companies so they are not dictating our medical providers care for their patients, and then we need to transition the medical system to a nonprofit model. Then we can work on single-payer system. Right now, we need to pass the MediKids Act!"

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2026

Should the federal government amend the Affordable Care Act/"Obamacare" by allowing citizens to opt into Medicare if they so choose?

"This is a bandaid, we actually need real reform in our healthcare system. The federal government needs to take over re-risk insurance, we need guardrails in place for insurance companies so they are not dictating our medical providers care for their patients, and then we need to transition the medical system to a nonprofit model."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2026

Should the U.S. government continue to provide military aid to Ukraine (without putting U.S. soldiers on the ground)?

"Ukraine is fighting for not only it's own freedom but that of the entire free world. Putin has made it abundantly clear that he will not stop in Ukraine. The United States has an obligation to stand with countries that are working to develop their democracy. From a national security standpoint, Ukraine falling into the hands of Putin puts the US and our allies at risk, as well as upending food security and other necessary resources that Ukraine provides to the rest of the world. Half my family was killed in World War II - we can learn from what happens when we slow roll aid to help people who are being unlawfully and unjustly attacked."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2026

Should the federal government privatize some or all of Social Security?

"We have an obligation to address the systems that are in place in this nation to reform them or modify them so that they work for the people who are depending on them and who have paid into them. We have some simple solutions to put into play to address the solvency of social security and then we can address any bigger picture issues with the system of social security as it stands."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2026

Should the federal government require voters to provide proof of U.S. citizenship (such as passport or birth certificate) at the time of registration?

"We already have measures in place for establishing citizenship for voting. This is a point used to argue and make things more difficult for people like me, who changed my last name when I married my husband. With voter engagement down, a national average around 66%, we do not need increased barriers for people to exercise their constitutional right to vote."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2026

Should the federal government reform social security by raising the cap on income subject to the Social Security tax?

"We have an obligation to address the systems that are in place in this nation to reform them or modify them so that they work for the people who are depending on them and who have paid into them. We have some simple solutions to put into play to address the solvency of social security and then we can address any bigger picture issues with the system of social security as it stands."

Should the federal government reform Social Security by raising the retirement age from today's age of 67?

"We have an obligation to address the systems that are in place in this nation to reform them or modify them so that they work for the people who are depending on them and who have paid into them. We have some simple solutions to put into play to address the solvency of social security and then we can address any bigger picture issues with the system of social security as it stands."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2026

Should the federal government combat inflation by raising taxes to reduce the budget deficit?

"I support Senator Sander's and Rep. Khanna's tax on billionaires legislation. That's a 5% tax on 938 people in this country and would bring in $4.4 trillion over the next decade. We all benefit from a healthy community that has what it needs (universal healthcare, fully funded education, equitable housing access, childcare for working families, affordable higher education, etc) and we also benefit from a nation that is able to tackle its national debt."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2026

Should the federal government withhold funds from cities that refuse to cooperate with ICE detainers?

"Local citizens should have agency and voice about what happens in their communities. I am not okay with our commander in chief asking our law enforcement to break their oath to uphold the constitution and break their social contract with the communities that they serve."

Should the federal government combat inflation by repealing or revising the Jones Act to allow more foreign involvement in shipping between U.S. ports?

Do you support the United States’ involvement in the war in Iran?

"This was an illegal war that puts our service members' lives in danger, while this administration attempts to posture to China. There is no clear strategy out of this situation and we have not succeeded in any clear objectives. All the while, the president is profiting off of this war and awarded government funding to his family members through defense contracts to produce military materials that they don't have the technology to produce. I will not sit by while our service members put their lives on the line for a faulty National Security plan and for those in roles of power line their pockets at the expense of American lives. I am calling for the impeachment of Pete Hegseth and to hold anyone who has profited off this illegal war accountable."
