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 has not held this office, so there is no federal voting record, no cosponsorships and no committee service to report.
That absence is not a position for or against anything; it is what a first federal campaign looks like in the public record.
