Policy Positions
●
Economy
2 positions · all inferred from partyWould you support raising the federal minimum wage to $17 per hour?
Support · estimate
Inferred from partyNo direct vote or statement on a $17 federal minimum wage is found in the record above; as a Democrat representing a competitive district with a moderate-to-progressive profile, she likely supports a minimum wage increase consistent with party norms, though her centrist positioning suggests support rather than strong championing.
Do you support using tariffs as a tool to address trade imbalances with other countries?
Neutral · estimate
Inferred from partyNo direct evidence in her legislative record addresses tariffs specifically; as a moderate Democrat representing a competitive district who has co-sponsored trade-related labor protections (Know Your Labor Rights Act) and the Stop Scamming Truckers Act, her record suggests pragmatic trade instincts, but party-based inference is the primary basis here given the absence of explicit tariff statements or votes.

Education
1 position · all inferred from partyWould you support canceling up to $50,000 in federal student loan debt per borrower?
Oppose · estimate
Inferred from partyGluesenkamp Perez voted Yea on HJRES45 and HJRES88, both congressional disapproval resolutions blocking Biden administration student loan forgiveness rules, suggesting opposition to broad cancellation, though these don't directly address a $50,000 cap policy; her moderate/centrist Democratic profile informs the overall inference.

Environment
2 positions · all inferred from partyWould you support ending new federal permits for oil and gas drilling on public lands and offshore waters?
Neutral · estimate
Inferred from partyGluesenkamp Perez voted NAY on HJRES131 (opposing restoration of Coastal Plain oil/gas leasing) and NAY on HJRES140 (opposing reversal of Cook Inlet land withdrawal), suggesting support for some drilling restrictions, but she also voted YEA on HJRES35 (rolling back EPA methane fees on oil/gas) and HJRES88 (opposing California clean car mandates), indicating a mixed, moderate record that does not clearly support fully ending all new federal drilling permits.

Would you support legislation requiring the US to reduce carbon emissions by 50% below 2005 levels by 2035?
Oppose · estimate
Inferred from partyGluesenkamp Perez has a notably mixed environmental voting record for a Democrat, repeatedly voting to overturn EPA emissions rules (e.g., HJRES35, HJRES61, HJRES87, HJRES88, HJRES89) and block energy efficiency standards, while occasionally voting against purely deregulatory measures; this pattern suggests she would oppose aggressive binding emissions-reduction mandates like a 50% by 2035 target, though no direct vote on such a target exists.

Foreign Policy
2 positions · all inferred from partyWould you support increasing the federal defense budget by more than 5% per year above the rate of inflation?
Oppose · estimate
Inferred from partyNo direct evidence on defense budget growth above inflation; as a moderate Democrat who has supported some military aid (e.g., Israel Security Assistance Support Act) but also voted repeatedly for War Powers resolutions to limit hostilities with Iran, her record suggests skepticism toward large defense budget increases, consistent with the Democratic Party's general lean against major defense spending hikes above inflation.
Would you support maintaining or increasing current levels of US foreign assistance to allied and developing nations?
Support · estimate
Inferred from partyNo direct vote on general foreign assistance levels exists in the record, but MGP voted Yea on the Israel Security Assistance Support Act (HR8369) and supported multiple Iran sanctions and Ukraine-related resolutions, suggesting moderate support for allied foreign assistance; her Yea vote on the concurrent resolution to remove US forces from Iran hostilities (HCONRES93) adds a cautionary note on military entanglement, and her overall pattern is inferred alongside her center-left Democratic positioning.
□
Gun Policy
2 positions · all inferred from partyWould you support requiring background checks for all firearm purchases in the US, including private sales and gun show transactions?
Support · estimate
Inferred from partyNo direct vote or statement on universal background checks is in the record; MGP voted NAY on HJ Res 44 (blocking an ATF rule on pistol braces, suggesting some deference to gun regulations) but this is a different issue, so position is inferred from her being a moderate Democrat who has shown some independence on gun issues, leaning toward support but not a champion.
Would you support a federal ban on the manufacture and sale of semi-automatic rifles with detachable magazines to civilian buyers?
Oppose · estimate
Inferred from partyMGP voted YEA on HJRES44 to disapprove the ATF's pistol-brace rule (a gun-rights direction) and YEA on the Detain and Deport Illegal Aliens Who Assault Cops Act, suggesting a more moderate/conservative posture on gun issues for a Democrat; no direct vote on an assault-weapons ban exists, but her pattern leans against broad gun restrictions, informing a below-average Democratic position inferred from related votes.

Healthcare
2 positions · all inferred from partyWould you support expanding Medicare to cover all Americans regardless of age?
Neutral · estimate
Inferred from partyNo direct evidence in the record addresses Medicare-for-All or universal Medicare expansion; MGP is a moderate Democrat from a competitive district who has voted against some progressive health measures (e.g., NAY on HR6703) and for some conservative ones (YEA on HR498 Do No Harm in Medicaid Act), suggesting a centrist healthcare posture that does not clearly align with full Medicare expansion, warranting a neutral inference rather than party-line support.
Would you support federal legislation requiring Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices directly with pharmaceutical manufacturers?
Support · estimate
Inferred from partyNo direct vote or statement on Medicare drug price negotiation is present in the record; as a Democrat in a competitive district with a moderate-to-progressive voting pattern, she likely supports this mainstream Democratic policy position, though her record shows some bipartisan/centrist tendencies that prevent a stronger confidence rating.

Immigration
2 positions · 1 inferred from partyWould you support significantly increasing federal funding for border security infrastructure and personnel at the US southern border?
Support
Voting RecordVoted Yea on HR993 (Emerging Innovative Border Technologies Act) and HR495 (Subterranean Border Defense Act), both directly funding border security infrastructure, and supported numerous other border enforcement bills, though she voted Nay on HR2 (Secure the Border Act), indicating support with limits rather than a maximalist position. Fact-check this →
Would you support a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who have lived and worked continuously in the US for more than 5 years?
Neutral · estimate
Inferred from partyMGP has a mixed immigration record — voting for multiple border enforcement bills (Laken Riley Act, Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act) while voting against some Republican enforcement measures (HR2, Deporting Fraudsters Act), suggesting a moderate/enforcement-focused Democrat posture with no direct evidence on a pathway to citizenship for long-term undocumented immigrants. Fact-check this →

Taxes
2 positions · all inferred from partyWould you support raising the federal corporate income tax rate from 21% to 28%?
Support · estimate
Inferred from partyNo direct vote or statement on raising the corporate tax rate to 28% exists in the record; as a Democrat, MGP generally supports higher corporate taxes, though her bipartisan voting pattern and rural-district pragmatism (e.g., voting for carbon tax opposition resolution, cosponsoring No Capital Gains Tax on Family Farms Act) suggest moderate rather than strong support.
Would you support raising the top federal income tax rate to 50% for individual income exceeding $10 million per year?
Support · estimate
Inferred from partyNo direct evidence addresses a 50% top marginal rate on incomes over $10 million; as a moderate Democrat (she voted YEA on the 2024 carbon tax opposition resolution and has shown some cross-aisle tendencies), she likely supports higher taxes on the ultra-wealthy consistent with her party but may not champion the most aggressive rate increases, so a lean-support inference is applied with low confidence.

Voting Rights
1 position · all inferred from partyWould you support federal legislation requiring all states to automatically register eligible citizens to vote when they interact with government agencies?
Oppose · estimate
Inferred from partyMGP has repeatedly voted for measures restricting non-citizen voting and supporting stricter voter eligibility verification (HR884, HR192, HR8281, HR22, HJRES24), suggesting a more restrictive stance on election access that likely conflicts with automatic voter registration mandates, though none of these votes directly address automatic registration; position inferred from this voting pattern and her moderate/bipartisan posture within her party.
