The middle

Where they agree

  • Both say Washington should protect veterans' benefits. Rogers: "every veteran has access to the highest-quality care through the VA." Green will "defend the benefits our veterans earned through their service."4, 2
  • Both want help for farm and rural communities. Rogers wants to "preserve and expand recreational hunting and fishing opportunities." Green will "champion a strong Farm Bill."4, 2

Where they really split

  • Trade: Rogers: "Our trade policies should create more American jobs, not fewer." Green: "fighting illegal tariff taxes."4, 2
  • Guns: Rogers will "stand firmly against any radical gun control agenda." Green's page names no gun policy.4
  • Congress itself: Green would "ban members of Congress from owning and trading individual stocks" and "enact practical term limits." Rogers's page names no rule for members of Congress.2

What each one leaves out

  • Rogers's fourteen issues name a policy on one (the SAFE KIDS Act) and spell out how on none. None has a number, a cost or a date.4
  • Green's nine issues name a policy on six and spell out how on one (student loan forgiveness). None has a number, a cost or a date.2
