Mark R. Warner Agree

In the midst of an unprecedented economic and health crisis that has pushed millions of workers to the brink of poverty, the least we can do is ensure that our minimum wage is a living wage that allows folks who work a full-time job to make ends meet.

TaxesNo. 02/12

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

Background

Mark R. Warner Agree

At a time when working families are struggling with the rising cost of living, Donald Trump and Washington Republicans are asking them to pay more so the ultra-rich can get a handout.

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.

Mark R. Warner Agree

All Virginians should have access to affordable health care, no matter their financial situation, and the ACA premium tax credits play a key role in this.

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.

Bert Mizusawa Agree

If you don't have a border, you don't have a nation

GunsNo. 05/12

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

Background

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.

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

It is appropriate that the U.S. is leading in efforts to address carbon pollution, and I am hopeful that we will be able to work with our international partners to agree to global reductions in carbon emissions later this year.

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.

Bert Mizusawa Agree

The biggest takeaway is that Mark Warner opposes the SAVE America Act, which is required to secure America's defining democratic process: honest elections that reflect the will of legitimate voters.

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.
