			<p><strong>Electoral College:</strong> SB 870: Vote to pass a bill that authorizes an agreement between states to award electoral votes according to the national popular vote when determining the President of the United States. Senator Thatcher voted no on this bill while Shemia Fagan voted yes.</p>
<p><strong>Gun Rights:</strong> SB941 Vote to pass a bill that requires a background check for firearm transfers, including private sales, effective immediately. Senator Thatcher voted no on this bill while Shemia Fagan voted yes.</p>
<p><strong>Business Taxes:</strong> HB3427 Vote to pass a bill that increases the state business tax in order to enhance education funding. Senator Thatcher voted no on this bill while Shemia Fagan voted yes.</p>
<p><strong>Parents Rights: </strong>HB3063. Vote to pass a bill that prohibits all religious and philosophical vaccination exemptions for public school students. Fagan supported the house bill. Kim Thatcher chose to walk out with the Republican caucus. Senator Thatcher voted no on this bill while Shemia Fagan voted yes.</p>
<p><strong>Licenses for Undocumented Immigrants:</strong> HB2015 Authorizes Driver Licenses for Undocumented Immigrants. Senator Thatcher voted Yes while Senator Fagan voted no.</p>
<p><strong>Sex Education:</strong> HB2509 Vote to pass a bill that specifies what elementary and secondary sexual education curriculum must include, such as the characteristics of a healthy relationship and medically accurate information about pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. Senator Thatcher voted no on this bill. Senator Fagan did not vote on this bill and it is unclear what her stance on it is.</p>
<p>Abortion: <a href="https://justfacts.votesmart.org/candidate/political-courage-test/46657/kim-thatcher">Thatcher:</a> Just because abortion should be legal in those relatively rare cases of rape or incest, it should only be last resort. The mental (as well as physical) well-being of the mother should take into consideration not only the trauma of rape or incest but also the additional mental trauma of killing an innocent child. Adoption should be given strong consideration. Generally, elective, non-medically necessary surgeries should not be publicly funded.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.ppaoregon.org/endorsements/">Fagan:</a> Endorsed by planned parenthood.</p>
