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

In a statement answering the Speaker of the House he criticised Rep. Huizenga for voting for the Iran war six times, without saying what he would do on Iran.
“They’ve rubber-stamped Donald Trump’s agenda: voting for the Iran war 6x, insisting on keeping an old coal plant running at $600,000 a day, always putting partisan politics ahead of lowering costs for the people they’re supposed to represent.”
- By the test I use for votes
- Not clear either way
It attacks an opponent's votes on the Iran war but states no policy of his own on Iran, so it does not settle a side.

“Backbreaking tariffs are making all aspects of life more expensive.”

At a town hall he said the One Big Beautiful Bill was designed to pay for tax cuts for millionaires, billionaires and big corporations.
“Folks are going to lose Medicaid under the One Big Bill. It was planned that way, it was designed that way to pay for tax cuts for millionaires, billionaires and big corporations.”
- By the test I use for votes
- Against liberty
Opposing a named federal tax cut as a giveaway to the wealthy is against liberty on free markets.
