Chuck Gray, on the record
I have no votes in Congress to count for Gray, so the grade above comes from this list: what Gray has said and done on my principles. Each line has its source, and each is marked with the same test I use for votes.
-
Asked on iVoterGuide whether the relationship with Israel matters, he says it is important but must be grounded in American interests.
“Our relationship with Israel is important, and it must always be grounded in policies that support America's interests.”
- By the test I use for votes
- Not clear either way
He calls the relationship important but ties it to American interests with no weapons or defence policy named, so it does not settle the measure.
-
In his iVoterGuide foreign policy answer he says no forever wars and that involvement in foreign entanglements must be tactical, without naming Ukraine, NATO or Taiwan.
“No forever wars and our involvement in foreign entanglements must be tactical and for the benefit of the American people.”
- By the test I use for votes
- Not clear either way
No ally or country is named, so the words do not settle the measure.
-
Gray says he will roll back federal regulations on Wyoming industries.
“I will roll back regulations to make sure our industries prosper.”
- By the test I use for votes
- With liberty
Less regulation is on the with side of the measure.

As secretary of state, Gray criticised the governor for not suing over federal Title IX rules that bar bans on transgender athletes in female sports.
“it is absolutely absurd that Governor Gordon and his appointed attorney general are refusing to take action to stop Biden's illegal, outrageous rules”
- By the test I use for votes
- With liberty
Opposing federal rules that would stop bans on transgender athletes in women's sport is on the with side of the measure.

-
Asked what separation of church and state means to him, he says America is a Christian nation and also agrees the government should establish no religion.
“The Constitution states that there should be NO religion established by the government, and that I agree with.”
- By the test I use for votes
- Not clear either way
He accepts no established religion yet says America is a Christian nation and names no law, so the words point both ways.
-
In his iVoterGuide answers he states that sharia law must be banned.
“We must BAN sharia law.”
- By the test I use for votes
- With liberty
Calling for a ban on sharia law is opposition to religious rule in the West, with liberty on conscience.
-
Gray says Congress should write President Trump's illegal immigration actions into law.
“We must codify President Trump's actions to stop illegal immigration.”

Lisa Kinney, on the record
I have no votes in Congress to count for Kinney, so the grade above comes from this list: what Kinney has said and done on my principles. Each line has its source, and each is marked with the same test I use for votes.
-
Kinney says the Iran war is raising gas prices and was not authorized by Congress, without naming a policy toward the regime.
“we pay more than $4 a gallon for gas due to a war not authorized by Congress.”
- By the test I use for votes
- Not clear either way
A call to end the war or require a vote, with no bill or policy named, is unclear for anyone under the site's precedent.
-
Kinney proposes a 4% tax on individuals and corporations earning more than $1 million until the Iran war ends.
“a second bill will impose a 4% tax applied on individuals and corporations earning more than $1,000,000 until the war ends.”
- By the test I use for votes
- Against liberty
A named higher tax on high earners is on the against side of the measure.
-

“what we have to do is tax the rich more”
- By the test I use for votes
- Against liberty
Higher taxes on the wealthy are on the against side of the measure.

“I will address affordability by putting more money in people's pockets by eliminating income tax for those earning under $100,000 and reducing FICA.”
- By the test I use for votes
- With liberty
A named tax cut is on the with side of the measure.
-
Kinney questions how federal immigration agents operate, asking why they wear masks and drive unmarked cars, without saying whether she would end or limit deportations.
“why should we have armed men with masks and no IDs and unmarked cars take people away?”
- By the test I use for votes
- Not clear either way
She objects to how enforcement is done but names no policy on deporting those who broke the law, so the words do not settle a side.
