Amanda Pusczek is a registered nurse and the Democratic nominee for U.S. House in Alabama's 4th Congressional District. She has over a decade of clinical nursing experience in hospitals, outpatient clinics, public schools, and correctional facilities, and served on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City. Pusczek's campaign focuses on healthcare access, rural investment, and challenging corporate influence in politics, and she has pledged to support congressional term limits.
Pusczek's campaign proposes a federal plan focused on rural Alabama healthcare: direct operational grants and safety-net funding for rural hospitals, expanded maternal, mental-health, addiction, EMS, and telehealth services, workforce loan forgiveness and training pipelines, and a federal enrollment option plus enhanced federal funding to expand coverage in Alabama. The campaign also says it would reverse recent Medicaid safety-net cuts and support Medicaid expansion.
Pusczek’s campaign platform calls for a $15 federal minimum wage indexed to regional cost of living and inflation, elimination of subminimum wages, stronger FTC enforcement against price gouging, trade and manufacturing policies aimed at preventing offshoring and bringing production back to North Alabama, passage of the PRO Act, and expanded paid family leave and child-care support. The platform frames these measures as ways to raise household purchasing power, strengthen labor rights, protect family farms, and reduce the effects of corporate consolidation.
Amanda Pusczek has publicly indicated support for climate action by signing the Green New Deal pledge and pledging to use her congressional office to advance it. This places her in favor of a federal clean-energy and climate-investment agenda, although the available public sources do not provide a detailed, candidate-authored implementation plan.
Pusczek presents Alabama’s post-Dobbs reproductive-health restrictions as harmful and says they left her and her husband without safe medical options while trying to start a family. Her campaign biography emphasizes protecting medical privacy and ensuring Alabamians have freedom and access to healthcare; the campaign’s policy platform also calls for expanding maternal-health access. The available official materials support describing her as favoring expanded reproductive-health access and protections, but do not specify a detailed position on abortion limits or federal abortion-funding policy.
Pusczek's stated positions on immigration, as compiled by BallotReady, include accelerating the legal immigration and naturalization process by increasing judge appointments to address backlogs, prioritizing keeping families together and ending family separations, reversing policies that place international refugees at risk, removing barriers to immigrant small-business ownership, and funding language access and citizenship preparation programs. Her LinkedIn profile states she believes every person, regardless of immigration status, deserves dignity and justice.
Amanda Pusczek is identified by Gun Sense Voter, an Everytown-affiliated project, as a 2026 “Gun Sense Candidate,” a designation for candidates who have demonstrated that they will govern with gun safety in mind. The available source does not specify which particular firearms measures she supports, so her detailed position on the Second Amendment and specific gun laws remains unclear.
Pusczek's campaign platform states that fundamental freedoms should be safeguarded and that equal justice under the law should apply to every person, and her listed human-rights priorities include ending current ICE funding and supporting passage of the Equality Act. These are campaign positions rather than legislative votes, since she is a 2026 congressional candidate.
Pusczek criticizes cuts to public-school budgets and says public schools should be appropriately funded. Her campaign biography also identifies her experience working in public schools, but the campaign's detailed policy page does not provide a separate education plan with specific federal proposals.
Pusczek's campaign policy platform does not state a specific position on artificial-intelligence regulation or broader AI policy. On related technology issues, it supports federal Right-to-Repair legislation requiring manufacturers to provide farmers and independent repair shops with diagnostic software, tools, and technical manuals, and proposes digital infrastructure funding for telehealth services, including tele-behavioral-health connections and tele-robotic ultrasound hubs. These are positions from her campaign platform, not legislative votes.
Pusczek signed the U.S. Term Limits pledge in January 2026, committing that as a member of Congress she would cosponsor and vote for a constitutional amendment limiting House members to three terms and Senators to two terms. Her campaign also emphasizes challenging corporate influence in politics and reducing the role of career politicians.
Pusczek’s campaign platform focuses on North Alabama’s local infrastructure and economic needs: it calls for federal support to stabilize rural hospitals and EMS, expand maternal and mental-health access, strengthen public schools, protect independent family farmers from agribusiness consolidation, and invest in safe, functional public infrastructure and rural communities. These are campaign proposals for Alabama’s 4th Congressional District, not reported legislative actions.
