Federal statements

EconomyNo. 01/12

The federal minimum wage should be raised above $7.25 an hour.

Background

The federal minimum wage has been $7.25 an hour since 2009. States and cities can set higher minimums, and many do.

Bob Brooks Agree

The last time we raised the minimum wage was 2006. We've fought three wars since then. We need to raise it, and tie it to inflation.

TaxesNo. 02/12

Federal income taxes should be raised on households earning more than $400,000 a year.

Background

This would increase the federal income tax owed by the highest-earning households. Households below that income would not be affected by this change.

Bob Brooks Agree

Make the rich pay their taxes... a billionaire minimum tax... repeal of 2017 Trump Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that could raise over $1.5 trillion.

Health careNo. 03/12

Federal premium subsidies for Affordable Care Act marketplace plans should be expanded.

Background

These subsidies lower the monthly cost of health plans bought on HealthCare.gov and state marketplaces. Expanding them would lower premiums for more buyers and increase federal spending.

Bob Brooks Agree

As we work toward that goal, we must reverse the cuts in the One Big Beautiful bill and extend the Affordable Care Act subsidies that Ryan Mackenzie allowed to expire and cause healthcare premiums to sky rocket.

ImmigrationNo. 04/12

Congress should fund more physical barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Background

This would pay for additional fencing or wall along the southern border. It concerns construction funding, not other kinds of border enforcement.

GunsNo. 05/12

Federal law should require background checks for all gun sales, including private sales.

Background

Federal law requires background checks for sales by licensed dealers but not for most sales between private individuals. This would extend the requirement to private sales.

Bob Brooks Agree

We need common-sense laws: universal background checks, closing the gun show loophole, and enforcing waiting periods so dangerous people don't get their hands on guns.

AbortionNo. 06/12

Abortion laws should be set by each state rather than by Congress.

Background

Since the Supreme Court's 2022 Dobbs decision, each state sets its own abortion laws. Agreeing means Congress should not pass a national law that either expands or restricts access.

Bob Brooks Disagree

We need to codify Roe v. Wade and pass legislation to overturn Trump abortion bans in red states.

Energy and climateNo. 07/12

The federal government should expand oil and gas drilling on federal lands and waters.

Energy and climateNo. 08/12

The federal government should limit greenhouse gas emissions from power plants.

Background

This would set federal limits on the carbon pollution power plants release. It concerns regulation by agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency.

Bob Brooks Agree

I'll make sure to hold the EPA accountable and push for stricter federal oversight for pollution like sewage sludge and mine refuse.

EconomyNo. 09/12

The U.S. should keep broad tariffs on imported goods.

Background

Tariffs are taxes paid on imported goods. Since 2025 the U.S. has applied tariffs to imports from most countries, and this statement is about keeping them in place.

Democracy and electionsNo. 10/12

Voters should have to show photo identification to vote in federal elections.

Background

Voter ID rules are set by each state today and vary widely. This would set one photo ID requirement for federal elections nationwide.

Bob Brooks Disagree

I oppose the SAVE Act and I oppose efforts to restrict voting rights.

Public safetyNo. 11/12

A president should be able to send the National Guard into a state over its governor's objection.

Background

Governors normally command their state's National Guard, but federal law lets a president take control of it in some situations. Since 2025, the use of that power to send troops into cities has been challenged in court.

Foreign policyNo. 12/12

The U.S. should continue sending military aid to Ukraine.

Background

The U.S. has provided weapons and military funding to Ukraine since Russia's 2022 invasion. This would keep that support going.

Bob Brooks Agree

That means supporting Ukraine and our NATO allies, paying attention to Asia, and rebuilding trust with the international community.
