Maria Jukic, on the record
I have no votes in Congress to count for Jukic, so the grade above comes from this list: what Jukic has said and done on my principles. Each line has its source, and each is marked with the same test I use for votes.
-
Says the United States should not be in the war with the Islamic Republic and should get out soon.
“the war in Iran. We shouldn't be there. We need to get out of there as soon as possible.”
- By the test I use for votes
- Not clear either way
She calls for ending the war but names no policy such as a deal, sanctions relief or a war powers vote, so it is unclear.
-
Supports a constitutional amendment saying money is not speech and letting Congress regulate campaign finance.
“constitutional amendment to make clear that corporations are not people and money is not speech”
- By the test I use for votes
- Not clear either way
It concerns limits on campaign spending, not censorship or platform pressure, so it does not settle the free speech measure.
-
On her AI page she says platforms should be held responsible when false content spreads.
“platforms can't just look the other way when false content spreads”
- By the test I use for votes
- Not clear either way
It calls for platform responsibility without saying whether government would force removal of lawful speech, so it does not settle the measure.
-
Opposes tariff policies that raise costs for Ohio growers.
“oppose tariff policies that raise costs on the materials and equipment our growers depend on”
- By the test I use for votes
- With liberty
Opposing broad tariffs is the free-market side of the free markets test.
-
On her tax page she supports taxing investment income at rates comparable to wages.
“Maria supports reforming the tax treatment of investment income so that wealth is taxed at rates comparable to work”
- By the test I use for votes
- Against liberty
Raising the tax on investment income is a higher tax, against liberty on free markets.
-
Supports a permanent law giving DACA recipients a path to citizenship.
“fully supports a permanent legislative solution for DACA recipients, providing them a clear and certain path to citizenship”
- By the test I use for votes
- Against liberty
Citizenship for people brought in illegally as children is a path to citizenship for people here unlawfully, which the measure counts as against.
-
On her immigration page she says ICE is violating the Constitution.
“ICE is violating the Constitution.”
- By the test I use for votes
- Against liberty
Condemning ICE as unconstitutional is opposing ICE, which the measure counts as against.
