    I have no votes in Congress to count for Prince, and what Prince has said and done settles only 3 of my principles. I went through it on October 24. A grade needs 4.

Yolanda Prince, on the record

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

  • February 23, 2026 · InterviewFree markets

    Asked about tariffs, she describes unstable prices and stores waiting to label goods because of them.

    “because of the tariffs, they are having to wait to put the label on things.”
    By the test I use for votes
    Not clear either way

    She describes the effects but does not say whether she would end or keep tariffs, so the words do not settle a side.

  • October 2026 · Her campaign siteFree markets

    Her site says she supports Medicare for All, a single-payer system.

    “I support a Medicare for All single-payer healthcare systems, that guarantees health insurance coverage for every American.”
    By the test I use for votes
    Against liberty

    Government-run health care for all is against liberty on free markets.

  • February 23, 2026 · InterviewEqual rights

    Asked what issues affect the district, she names DEI programs being dismantled in the workplace and in higher education.

    “with issues with DEI, those programs being dismantled in the workplace and with higher ed”
    By the test I use for votes
    Against liberty

    Treating the end of DEI programs as a problem is the against side of this measure.

  • February 23, 2026 · InterviewBorders

    Asked about immigration enforcement, she says ICE is being called to the carpet by either voting to defund it or changing its process.

    “I know the big word is ICE, and what they're doing is basically calling them to the carpet and either voting to defund them or change their process”
    By the test I use for votes
    Not clear either way

    She names defunding or changing ICE as alternatives without choosing one, so the words do not settle a side.

  • October 2026 · Her campaign siteBorders

    Her site says she supports a realistic pathway to citizenship.

    “I support creating a realistic pathway to citizenship that is less expensive and less time-consuming than the current process.”
    By the test I use for votes
    Against liberty

    A path to citizenship is the against side of this measure.

  • October 2026 · Her campaign siteBorders

    Her site says she will advocate for ending the use of detention centers.

    “I will also advocate for ending the use of detention centers.”
    By the test I use for votes
    Against liberty

    Ending immigration detention works against enforcement, the against side of this measure.
