Campaign website
Bausinger's campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Gun Reform As a veteran, gun owner and gun sport enthusiast, he recognizes and understands the irreparable harm which irresponsible or criminal use of firearms can cause. He believes firearms can be used responsibly while still being regulated to promote public safety. By advocating for these reforms, Lee is committed to making our communities safer while preserving the rights of citizens. Healthcare A woman’s right to choose is more than medical, it is a promise of self-determination, an ideal painfully lacking in modern America. He firmly believes that decisions about a woman's body should be made by her and her alone, not by politicians. As your representative, he will tirelessly work to protect and expand access to the comprehensive right of self-determination for all, ensuring that women, LGTBQ+ and others have the freedom and resources to make the best choices for their health and well-being.
