Eric Yonce, on the record
I have no votes in Congress to count for Yonce, so the grade above comes from this list: what Yonce has said and done on my principles. Each line has its source, and each is marked with the same test I use for votes.

Answering a questionnaire, said the United States should stop providing military weapons and aid to Israel until it complies with international law.
“Until Israel complies with those obligations, the United States should stop providing military weapons and aid.”

-
Disagreed with a statement that biological males should not take part in women's sports or use women's spaces, and said decisions should depend on the circumstances.
“decisions should be based on the specific circumstances rather than a blanket rule that excludes transgender people from all women's spaces.”
- By the test I use for votes
- Against liberty
Declining a rule that keeps women's sport and spaces female is the against side of the race and gender ideology measure.
-
Said laws and government policy should rest on the constitution and not on the doctrines of any religion.
“government policy and laws should be based on our Constitution and the rights of all Americans, not the teachings or doctrines of any particular religion.”

No religious law in government is with liberty on conscience.

“Immigration should be orderly and enforceable, but not driven by fear, discrimination, or religious or national-origin tests.”

He neither backs nor opposes sanctuary policies, and the answer names no enforcement step, so I leave it not clear.
