In their own words
What Rice's campaign says it would work on.
The priorities Rice's own campaign site lists, quoted as written there. They are what the campaign says. Nobody has voted on them.
- “In Congress, these will be my priorities”
- “Restore and Strengthen the Middle Class”
- “Crackdown on Government Waste and Corruption”
- “Apply a “Liberty Litmus Test” to Legislation and Policies”
- “Safety and Security at Home”
- “Peace through Strength Around the World”
Quoted from rice4congress.com, read August 14, 2026. A campaign site changes; this is what it said on that date. Curia quotes these and does not check, rate or rank them.
Record in office
Rice does not hold a seat in Congress now, so there is no current voting record, cosponsorships or committee service to show here.
That absence is not a position for or against anything.
Candidates and financing from the FEC, public domain. Nothing here is a forecast, a grade, or a ranking of candidates.
