What the Record Shows

• In January 2021, while serving in the Michigan Senate, joined ten other Republican state senators in asking Congress to “pursue every available option” to examine allegations of wrongdoing in the 2020 election shortly before certification. An earlier draft bearing the same signatories called for delaying certification, although that version was not ultimately sent.

• Has pledged to oppose efforts to roll back existing federal civil-rights protections, including voting-rights protections.

What the Record Shows

• Has called for an end to the Iran war and said that although Iran poses a threat, U.S. military action must “follow the Constitution” and have a clear strategic endgame.

• Has advocated overturning Citizens United and reducing the influence of dark money in elections.

What the Record Shows

• Supports U.S. military action against Iran, saying intelligence he saw during his military service indicated Iran was moving toward a nuclear weapon; he has also said he opposes long-term wars.
• Advocates for increased federal immigration enforcement and has called for additional training and resources for ICE agents rather than reducing the agency's enforcement capacity.

What the Record Shows
