Political positions
Newman represents what has long been the most conservative district of the eight that divide Chicago. Described as "ancestrally Democratic, culturally conservative, multiethnic and viscerally patriotic,"[34] the 3rd is the only Chicago-based district with a Cook Partisan Voting Index lower than D+15. However, she identifies as a progressive Democrat. She supports abortion rights, gun control, a $15 minimum wage,[6] a Green New Deal[35][36] Her campaigns were supported by Justice Democrats, an organization that funds progressive candidates, in both 2018[37] and 2020.[11] The Sunrise Movement supported her campaign in 2020.[38]
Newman also supports the Equality Act saying, โWithout the Equality Act, this nation will never live up to its principles of freedom and equality.โ She claims that she entered politics to make the world a better place for her transgender daughter. After Republican freshman Marjorie Taylor Greene attacked the bill as "disgusting, immoral, and evil" on the House floor, Newman hung a Transgender Pride flag outside her Washington office, which is directly across from Greene's.[39]
