Common Ground Scorecard for Billy Long

U.S. House

Billy Long (MO-7 - R)

Compare

[Defeated in 2022 Republican Senate primary.] A former auctioneer and radio talk-show host, Billy Long isn’t shy about sharing his opinions, standing his ground on his conservative values or even using his auctioneer’s skills in unusual settings. Long generally promotes a hands-off regulatory approach, saying it encourages vigorous competition and private investment. But he calls for intervention in the internet when lapses, abuses or disinterest in investment affect rural communities.
