Campaign website
Schupp’s campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Jill knows that in order to understand what’s going on in people’s lives, our representatives must show up, reach out, and listen to what the people have to say. Her priorities for when she is in office are informed by her many years of public service spent listening to Missourians about what they value and the change they would like to see. Access to Health Care Too many people across Missouri and the country are struggling to get the health care they or their families need. It is unacceptable that the rising cost of health care is causing so many people to make tough choices between their health care and other necessities including food, or childcare, or housing. Jill will fight to protect and improve the Affordable Care Act, to ensure access to care for people with pre-existing conditions. As she has done in the state legislature, she will work to end surprise billing in emergency rooms. She will stand up to big pharma and work to lower the cost of prescription drugs by allowing Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices. She will work to advance the needs of Missouri families—not the needs of special interests or the insurance companies. Improving Education This includes investing upfront in our youngest citizens through early childhood education, which established research has shown to provide a tremendous return on investment for students and communities for the long term. Jill will also advocate for trauma-informed training for teachers to better support vulnerable students, higher compensation that recognizes the necessity and value of teachers, and access to more affordable options for education beyond high school. Economic Growth In Congress, Jill will work to support small businesses, which are too often left behind when Washington looks to fix problems in the economy. She recognizes that all of these issues are interrelated—our economy is strengthened by an environment where small businesses can thrive and a workforce where all have access to quality education and job training, where everyone has access to affordable health care, and where workers’ rights are maintained. Jill will work to lower taxes for middle class families, not give away massive tax breaks to big corporations. She wants to take on corruption in Washington and build an economy that works for real people. Workers’ Rights She has been a longtime ally of working families, as demonstrated by her track record here in Missouri, where she has fought right-to-work and has supported stronger labor protections. In Congress, she will continue fighting to protect workers from unfair labor practices and will work to raise the minimum wage. That’s why she is endorsed by the Missouri AFL-CIO and many other labor unions that represent workers throughout Missouri’s 2nd district. Reproductive Rights Jill will fight to keep the government from interfering with a woman’s right to determine when and if she would like to start or expand her family. She believes in a woman’s right to choose, guaranteed by Roe v. Wade, and will fight to protect access to reproductive health care -- including contraception and abortion. LGBTQ+ Rights She supports the Equality Act, and in Congress she will advocate for policies that prevent discrimination. In the Missouri state legislature she has co-sponsored legislation that would prohibit discrimination based on a person’s sexual orientation or gender, including in housing practices, denial of loans or financial assistance, employment, and more. Campaign Finance Reform She will fight to get money out of our politics and reduce the influence that special interests and their lobbyists have over our elections and representatives. Jill wants to ensure that our elected officials are accountable to the people they represent, not deep-pocketed donors, corporations, or special interests. Climate Change In Congress, Jill will work to ensure we have clean water and clean air, not just for today but for future generations. She will take action to reduce our carbon emissions and hold polluters accountable. Jill believes we should reenter the Paris Climate Agreement, as the United States must take a leadership role in the global community on climate change. She supports taking pragmatic steps here at home that will help transition to a clean energy economy and create the jobs of the future. Gun Violence Prevention Jill believes in the Second Amendment. We can have common sense reforms too. We need data in order to solve the problem of gun violence. Jill will push for the federal government to invest in research to help us better understand and address gun violence. She knows that in a country like ours, we can reduce the number of homicides and suicides with common sense, evidence-based measures that really work. Immigration That's why Jill is opposed to the separation of children from their families at the border, as well as the detention of children in unsafe conditions. Jill supports the DREAM Act, and in Congress, she will fight to protect DACA recipients. [9] |

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
