In their own words, from their campaign and official websites, summarised in plain English. House roll-call votes are not included yet: the Senate's are, and the House's come from a different source still being added.
Economy and cost of living
Kiggans says she wants to cut inflation and lower the cost of living by reducing wasteful federal spending, backing pro-growth policies and cutting regulation for small businesses. She says she supported federal spending cuts and wants to build on the economy under President Trump.
“I am committed to restoring strength in our economy by reining in wasteful spending, supporting pro-growth policies, and ensuring workers have the skills necessary to succeed”
Kiggans says she supported the Working Families Tax Cuts, which made the 2017 tax cuts permanent and eliminated most taxes on tips and overtime. She says she also fought to expand the Child Tax Credit and wants to reduce wasteful government spending.
Kiggans, a nurse practitioner, says she wants health care to be more affordable and accessible. She says she led a bipartisan effort to renew and reform the Affordable Care Act tax credits, introduced measures to lower prescription costs, and backs expanding Medicare coverage, virtual care and mental health resources.
Kiggans says she wants to protect and preserve Social Security and Medicare, and that people receiving or near receiving benefits will not have them touched. She says she opposes Medicare for All and wants to lower prescription drug costs for seniors.
“You can count on Jen to ensure that those who are receiving or near to receiving benefits will not have them touched.”
Kiggans says she supports Trump's efforts to secure the border and voted for more border security funding, including money to finish the wall, and for more border agents, technology and infrastructure. She also cosponsored the Laken Riley Act to strengthen interior enforcement, and says she will work with anyone to stop illegal immigration.
Kiggans says abortion laws should be decided by the states. She says she opposes abortions up to the moment of birth and has advocated for women to choose life, but respects exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother. She also says she supports access to birth control and IVF.
“she believes abortion laws should be determined at the state level”
Kiggans says she wants to protect the environment without hurting jobs or the economy, with a focus on the Chesapeake Bay and coastal resources. She has sponsored a bipartisan bill to fund oyster reef restoration. The passages do not lay out a broader energy or climate policy.
“Coastal Virginians know how to be good stewards of the environment without sacrificing jobs or hurting our economy.”
Kiggans says she is a defender of the Second Amendment and never compromises on the right to bear arms. She says she supports policies that make it easier for law-abiding Virginians to protect themselves while getting guns out of the hands of criminals.
Kiggans says she wants secure elections. She voted for the Save America Act, which requires photo ID, and says she wants to maintain a photo ID requirement, prevent ballot harvesting and stop voting irregularities.
From FEC filings for 2025–26. Outside spending is money a group spends on its own about a candidate — TV and online ads, mail, canvassing. It is not a donation to the campaign, and the candidate does not control it. Supporting means it was spent to help that candidate win; Opposing means it was spent to defeat them, usually on attack ads. Groups report it within 24 or 48 hours as the election nears. Raised is the campaign's own fundraising, as of its latest quarterly report. Largest donors come from each outside spender's own FEC receipts, with each donor's share of its itemized receipts; donors under $100,000 are not named. People are shown with the employer and occupation they reported. A donor that is itself a political committee is shown with its own largest donors. Companies and nonprofits don't report their funders to the FEC, so the trail ends there, and the page says so.
