Reproductive rights
Candidate position
Deciding whether and when to have a child is deeply personal – and should be in the hands of pregnant people, not politicians. The Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade was cruel, dehumanizing, and dangerous. It does not reflect the will of the majority of Americans who deeply value maintaining control of their bodies, their lives, and their futures. The extremist conservative Supreme Court is using their power to override the will of the people.

Health care
Candidate position
In rural communities like Vermont, healthcare facilities can be few and far between. This puts even more pressure on the options we do have. Becca is working in Washington to ensure rural hospitals have the support they need to keep families healthy, regardless of where they live. This Congress, Becca introduced a bill to ensure EMS personnel can obtain payments the same way other medical professionals do so they can keep serving Vermonters in our most rural communities.

Energy, environment, public lands, and utilities
Candidate position
Climate action in Vermont and the nation must build on our strengths, which means transforming our economy into a climate economy. But while Vermont has led the way with electric vehicles, adopting renewable energy, and land preservation, we can’t attack the impending climate crisis with a piecemeal approach. This urgent crisis demands immediate bold action. We need a united, 50-state solution to fighting the climate crisis – and that’s what the Green New Deal will give us.

Gun policy
Candidate position
Common-sense gun reform is popular in Vermont and across the country, but the powerful gun lobby has stopped these reforms in their tracks. In D.C., Becca isn’t afraid to stand up to the gun lobby and advocate for gun safety measures including expanding background checks, investing in gun violence research and prevention programs, and Extreme Risk laws.

Civil rights and individual freedom
Candidate position
Nearly half of U.S. states lack basic protections for LGBTQ+ people, meaning they can be evicted from their homes, or denied credit because of their gender or sexual orientation. Becca has always been a champion for LGBTQ+ people, but there’s so much more to do. In D.C., Becca is an original cosponsor of the Equality Act, which expands federal civil rights law to protect LGBTQ+ people from discrimination in employment, housing, credit, jury service, and federally funded programs.

Reproductive rights
Candidate position

In Congress, Becca is an original cosponsor of the Women’s Health Protection Act to federally protect abortion access.

The exact official service window begins 2023-01-03, but the first identity-safe member-level roll call currently captured is dated 2023-01-03. Earlier online Clerk material that is unavailable or cannot be bridged to one exact member identity remains excluded; no vote or absence is inferred. Every numbered U.S. House roll call published by the Clerk during the configured service window is reconciled through the member's exact Bioguide ID. Clerk XML through 2002 does not publish Bioguide IDs, so those rows require a candidate-specific official House identity and service bridge plus one unique exact published-name, party, and state tuple. A published roll without an identity-safe row is retained as an explicit source omission and is not labeled as a vote or absence. Voice votes and other actions without member-level roll calls are outside this archive.
