Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. Agree

On the federal level, my colleagues and I are introducing the Workforce Housing Tax Credit Act to broaden a tried-and-true federal tax incentive program—the low-income housing tax credit.

EducationNo. 12/14

The federal government should help pay for child care for working families.

Background

Federal child care help today comes mainly through block grants to states and tax credits, and reaches a small share of eligible families. This would expand federal funding so more working families pay less for child care.

Mary Peltola Agree

Childcare is a necessity, not a luxury. Mary will cut red tape and expand grants, forgivable loans, and tax credits, making it easier to open childcare businesses and bring trusted providers to rural and underserved communities across Alaska.

Health careNo. 13/14

Adults on Medicaid who are able to work should be required to work, study or volunteer to keep coverage.

Background

A 2025 federal law requires many adults covered through the Medicaid expansion to show 80 hours a month of work, school or community service, starting by 2027. Agreeing means keeping such requirements; disagreeing means repealing them.

Issues specific to this race

EducationNo. 14/14

Federal law should bar transgender girls from competing on girls' school sports teams.

Background

Federal law does not currently set a nationwide rule on this, and states have adopted different policies. A federal law would apply one rule to schools that receive federal funding.

Too many girls and women across our country have had their dreams dashed because the former administration shredded Title IX protections by allowing biological men to compete against them in sports.
