Unbiased Politician Stances Tracker 
Our primary goal is to ensure that bias doesn’t interfere with your electoral decisions, allowing you to make informed choices based solely on the candidates’ own words.
We achieve this by tracking and presenting direct quotes from the candidates themselves, thereby showcasing their stance on various policies.
The quotes are from the politicians themselves and usually within the last four years.

Abortion
Against
We have to be strong and powerful. Thats why when Im re-elected, I will continue to fight against the demented late-term abortionists in the Democrat Party who believe in unlimited abortion on demand and even executing babies after birth,
For
“Make no mistake: If Congress passes a national abortion ban, I will veto it.”
Against
I believe a decision to abort a child should be up to the women during the first three months of life, but added: Once a child is viable, outside the womb, I think then the state has an interest in protecting the child.

“For decades I have said Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided. Today, the Supreme Court overturned the abortion ruling and returned the issue to the states. Arkansas is a pro-life state, and we are able now to protect life.”
Against
“I would not sign an abortion ban of any kind. If you’re going to be pro-life, how about we be pro-life for the whole life.”
For
“Protecting the reproductive rights of women and ending all forms of patriarchy”
Against
“Those who oppose abortion are not ‘anti-women #ProLife”
For
“Blocking the World Health Organization endangers everyone.”
Against
“The Dobbs decision was a victory for life and democracy. As a result, states have passed life-saving laws and helped promote a culture of life across the nation. The fight is far from over. There should be broad consensus at the federal level to end late-term abortion, make adoption easier, support pregnant mothers, and safeguard religious liberties. More must be done, and as president, I will never stop trying to save as many babies and support as many mothers as we can.”
Against
“Today we celebrate the anniversary of the Dobbs decision. Florida is proof that with bold leadership we can expand pro-life protections & provide more resources for mothers and families. I will always champion a culture of life.”
Against
“I’m unapologetically pro-life. Its not a womans rights issue, its a human rights issue.”
Affirmative Action
Against
People with extraordinary ability and everything else necessary for success, including future greatness for our country, are finally being rewarded, he said, adding, Were going back to all merit-based and thats the way it should be!
For
“We cannot let the Supreme Court’s decision on affirmative action be the last word.Here’s what my Administration is doing:The Biden-Harris Administration Is Taking Action in the Wake of the Supreme Court Upending Precedent and Effectively Ending Affirmative Action in Higher Education Admissions by: Proposing a new standard for colleges and universities, when selecting among qualified applicants, to take adversity into account. Providing colleges and universities with clarity on what college admissions practices and programs to support student body diversity remain lawful convening a National Summit on educational opportunity. Releasing a report on strategies for increasing diversity and educational opportunity in colleges and universities, including ways to meaningfully consider adversity. Increasing transparency in college admissions and enrollment practices. Supporting states in analyzing data to design programs that increase educational opportunity for underserved communities.”
For
“Regarding the Supreme Court banning affirmative action in higher ed I know many Americans feel that purely race-based decisions are unfair. However, this feeling misses important context. The effects of racist policies going back centuries are now self-perpetuating.”

The recent Supreme Court ruling strikes a blow against identity politics. Its time to move beyond race-based admissions. Colleges are supporting diversity by reducing legacy preferences and increasing financial aid,”.
For
“Affirmative action is something that I think is very crucial and necessary. ”
Against
“Affirmative action also discriminates against Asian Americans who have the temerity to work hard, make good grades and perform well on standardized tests, only to find themselves penalized when it comes to admission into the college or university of their choice. Discrimination to fix historical discrimination is still discrimination. Affirmative action is divisive, undermines merit and does more harm than good. When it has been put to voters in states like California and Michigan, it has been voted down.”
For
“Excellent. The government should have no power to tell a woman what to do with her body.”
Against
“The world admires America because we value freedom & opportunity. SCOTUS re-affirmed those values today. Picking winners & losers based on race is fundamentally wrong. This decision will help every studentno matter their backgroundhave a better opportunity to achieve the American dream. “
Against
“College admissions should be based on merit and applicants should not be judged on their race or ethnicity.The Supreme Court has correctly upheld the Constitution and ended discrimination by colleges and universities.”
Against
“Now that the Supreme Court finally ended affirmative action, colleges will only further deprioritize SAT scores in favor of subjective factors because of large racial disparities in test results. Theres a simple way forward that will drive excellence and diversity of talent among incoming college classes: the College Board should add a physical fitness section to the SAT, instead of just math and reading sections. This could mirror the Presidential Fitness Test consisting of a 1-mile run, pull-ups, sit-ups, shuttle run, etc. regularly administered across American high schools until the Obama White House disband it. This is a pro-merit solution that rewards diverse talents: its a fact that those who perform well on math & reading tests tend to perform more poorly on the 1-mile run, and vice versa. This would also help address a growing mental health crisis in our country: physical fitness correlates directly with lower rates of depression, anxiety, and drug use. This is not formally part of my Presidential platform but its a serious proposal to address multiple cultural & health challenges with a single actionable step: most solutions shouldnt come top-down from government.”
America First
For
“America is leading again, proving that America First does not mean America alone by revitalizing relationships with countries that share our goals and interests while combating radicalism and extremism.”
Against
“MAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards. Backwards to an America where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to contraception, no right to marry who you love.”
- Dropped Out Candidates
For
“If we want to truly love this country, we have to learn to love each other again. We have to share a common purpose and a common belief in goodness of this country and of each other.”
For
“America needs a 180 degree change in direction from where Joe Bidenhas taken us! Donald J. Trump will make America great again!”
For
“I am an America-first, MAGA candidate, but I also talk about issues the other candidates dont, including the epidemic of fatherlessness in the US and the deadly lie that America is systemically racist.”
For
“Todays Supreme Court decision barring Affirmative Action in college admissions is an unfortunate step backward in Americas commitment to social justice. But the deeper problem is that such programs should have ever been necessary to begin with. Systemic racism begins in early childhood in the United States, and dealing with it there is how we will override the deepening racial injustices only exacerbated by todays decision. Unequal opportunity in childhood education is where the problem begins and where we will ultimately solve it My commitment is to radically increase Americas commitment to every American child – to make every public school a palace of learning, culture and the arts”
For
“Its not America first to withdraw from the world. Its not America first to praise dictators who want to kill Americans. Its not America first to bankrupt social security…Thats what we get with Donald Trump. I am running for president to restore a country that’s strong and proud.”
For
“Ive actually shown an ability to implement America First policies more effectively than Donald Trump did.”
For
“This entire campaign is about speaking the TRUTH. We did not achieve our goal tonight & we need an America-First patriot in the White House. The people spoke loud & clear about who they want. Tonight I am suspending my campaign and endorsing Donald J. Trump and will do everything I can to make sure he is the next U.S. President. I am enormously proud of this team, this movement, and our country.”
Black Lives Matters Politicization
Against
Left-wing mobs have torn down statues of our founders, desecrated our memorials and carried out a campaign of violence and anarchy… Whether it is the mob on the street, or the cancel culture in the boardroom, the goal is the same: to silence dissent, to scare you out of speaking the truth and to bully Americans into abandoning their values.
For
“When Black small businesses grow, the community benefits. Since Kamala and I entered office, Americans have filed 15 million applications to start new businesses. Its led to the fastest growth in Black business ownership in 30 years.”
For
Kennedy says that black Americans endured injustice and Black Americans are going to be a principal priority for me, particularly in ending that fear of dangerous interaction with law enforcement, […] We need systemic changes. We need to remove qualified immunity, which would make it necessary for an individual to consider his liability with every interaction. Every good […] system [should] incentive good behavior and punish bad behavior. […] [reorganization of police] instead of being in combat mode when they come into the Black community.[…] The medical system is not attuned to taking care of Black patients. Being a Black patient in this country is almost as dangerous as being a Black prisoner. […] And the food made available in many Black communities is highly processed and loaded with chemicals and hormones. […] Its making African Americans sicker. […] the system is predatory toward Black Americans.

“The death of George Floyd is such a landmark site in America, and its troubling to anybody who appreciates law enforcement and their role in public safety. To see the death in such a way that George Floyd is crying out, I cant breathe, I cant breathe, you understand the outrage that the American people feel, the outrage that I feel, the disappointment that we have in law enforcement officers who are sworn to uphold the law, and yet, they cross every line and abuse the system. They dont honor the system. They dont honor the rule of law and justice. During this time, its my job as governor to make sure that those who want to express themselves as demonstrators, as protestors that are peaceful that they are protected and that they have the right to exercise the First Amendment.”
Against
“The problem is this, there’s lawlessness in this country, They’ve been chanting in the streets for the murder of police officers”
For
“In the end, if you really want Black people to be free, and I do, Black people will never be free under a system of predatory capitalism. We will never be free under a system with imperial tentacles, [we] will never be free with Pentagon elite running amok with militaristic policies and killing people in Latin America and in the Caribbean, and so forth.”

As for the Black Lives Matter march, Burgum says We came through it without a fire; we came through it without any serious injuries, Thats something to be said. […] Its lost when it moves from a peaceful protest to what I think can only be described as an organized riot, […] If you want to have a dialogue in North Dakota, all you have to do is ask.
For
“You use the word “we.” What gives this person the power to talk about “we”? I just saw a poll recently that said the majority of Black Americans are either extremely proud or very proud to be American. So this individual was speaking for himself, not for Black people.”
For
“No, I do not denounce Black Lives Matter! It is not a “Black supremacist group;” it is a Black equality and justice group. I have great admiration for those who started it and for the movement they initiated. It was long overdue.”

We had a horrific shooting at a church where white supremacists came in and killed nine amazing souls. BLM, all of that, we never had to deal with riots. We never had to call in the National Guard, Ron, because when we had both of those shootings, we were able to pull people together. We didnt have riots, we had vigils. We didnt have protests, we had prayer. We brought people together.
Nuanced
“Remember when so-called public health experts said it was ok to have mass gatherings if you join the BLM protests but that it was not ok to protest lockdowns?”

“We hear about black lives matter all the time, but the fact is that a black baby is safer in a park, by himself, in the inner city of Chicago than he is in his black mothers womb. This is sad and we need to change it because *all* lives matter.”
