Side by side
A solid letter is a grade from recorded votes on that principle. An outlined letter is on the same scale, for a candidate with no votes: it comes from what that candidate has said and done, and every source is listed below.
Jeffrey Hulum III, on the record
I have no votes in Congress to count for Hulum, so the grade above comes from this list: what Hulum has said and done on my principles. Each line has its source, and each is marked with the same test I use for votes.
-
Hulum criticised the administration's handling of Iran, North Korea, China and Russia and warned about the war in Iran, without naming a policy.
“Every time we see this administration carry the water pail and rub shoulders with the acts of evil, Iran, North Korea, China, and Russia, people continue to lose our footing as a superpower in this nation and in this world,”
- By the test I use for votes
- Not clear either way
The words name no sanction, deal, strike or vote, so they do not settle the measure.
-
In the Mississippi House in February 2025, Hulum spoke against a bill that banned diversity, equity and inclusion programs in public schools and universities.
- By the test I use for votes
- Against liberty
Opposing a ban on DEI programs is the against side of anti woke.
-
His campaign issues page says national security must rest on strength and readiness but names no budget.
“National security must be grounded in strength, readiness, and leadership with the experience needed for thoughtful, informed decision-making”
- By the test I use for votes
- Not clear either way
No defence budget is named, so it does not settle the defense test.
-
Hulum said the ICE budget being larger than the Marine budget is a problem, without naming a border or deportation policy.
“When the ICE immigration budget is more than our marine budget, we have a problem,”
- By the test I use for votes
- Not clear either way
Questioning a budget level without a named enforcement policy does not settle the measure.
