Economy

2 positions · all inferred from party

Would you support raising the federal minimum wage to $17 per hour?

Strongly Oppose · estimate
Inferred from partyThe campaign website does not address the federal minimum wage directly, but Sununu emphasizes opposing tax hikes, reducing inflation, and letting New Hampshire families decide over Washington bureaucrats, consistent with the Republican Party's general opposition to federal minimum wage increases; position inferred from party alignment.

Would you support imposing tariffs of 25% or more on imports from countries that do not meet US labor and environmental standards?

Oppose · estimate
