Rebecca Whiting completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Whiting's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- End the wars. Adopt policies of nonintervention. Get out of the foreign conflicts. Unless the United States is attacked on our soil, we have no business engaging in military exercises with another country. Let us build up our borders, defend ourselves, but pull out of the global stage of war and the illusion that we are fighting for democracy and national security. Get out of NATO, stop entangling alliances with other countries, pass a national Defend the Guard bill which keeps state governors from using the National Guards as puppets for the MIC, and bring every troop overseas home.
- End the Fed. Tie the hands of the central banks, stop the debt, and bring back the gold standard. The inflation is the result of a budget that hasn’t been balanced in over 20 years, the over printing of money, the $35 trillion of debt, and a government that is either too stupid to care or knows exactly what they are doing and is doing it anyways. Regardless, I would love to help facilitate the retirement of every member of the political oligarchy that is helping destroy American sovereignty with their poor financial decisions.
- End the regulatory burden, its killing the working class. It is not enough to work hard and make it anymore. The system is rigged against anyone that might prosper to keep people weak and obedient to the state. The regulations that keep innovation from thriving because the government has put too many restrictions on agriculture and industry to keep anyone from doing well has created artificial pockets of shortages and allowed for a fragile supply grid.
If taxation without consent is not robbery, then any band of robbers have only to declare themselves and government, and all their robberies are legalized. -Lysander Spooner
It is not the business of the law to make anyone good or reverent or moral or clean or upright. -Murray Rothbard
Term limits for everyone to put a stop to the political oligarchy.

Campaign website
Whiting’s campaign website stated the following:

Rebecca Whiting for U.S. Senate This is what I stand for No more wars. Unless the United States is attacked, we have no business using our military in foreign countries. No more entangling alliances. Our friends need to learn to run their own countries without the use of US dollars. Bring the troops home. The military isn’t a tool to be used by the military industrial complex. We owe it to the service members not to put their lives in danger recklessly and to not use their willingness to sacrifice for their country abusively. Adopt a policy of non-intervention. The world’s conflicts are not ours to police. The VA system is a failed system. Privatize the VA, allow the free market to give veterans the best access to care when they need it and when they need it quickly. End the fed. Dismantle the central banks. Tie the hands of the federal government. Deregulate. Deregulate. Deregulate. This will allow real free market solutions to appear by allowing small businesses to thrive. Taxation is theft. Should we tax it? No. Take the restraints off the working class. It’s time to break the chains the federal government has put on us that keeps us from prosperity and embrace the future through liberty. Put an end to modern fascism. Corporatism is using the politicians to enact their regulations to keep small businesses from prospering.[2] |
