Strongly agree

Increase

Elise Stefanik has consistently supported increased military spending during her time in Congress. She has voted in favor of the National Defense Authorization Act, which increased military spending, multiple times. However, she has not explicitly stated that she believes military spending should always be increased, hence the score is not a full 5.

Agree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

Stefanik has shown concern for the national deficit in the past, but she has not explicitly tied this concern to military spending. She has supported increased military spending even in times of high deficit, suggesting that she does not necessarily believe that the deficit must be drastically reduced before military spending can be increased.

Slightly agree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

While Stefanik has not explicitly stated that she is satisfied with the current level of military spending, her consistent support for increased military spending suggests that she is not opposed to the current level of spending. However, her support for further increases suggests that she is not fully satisfied with the current level.

Strongly disagree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

Stefanik has not shown support for a European military defense system, and as a member of the Republican Party, she is likely to support a strong U.S. military presence globally. Her voting record and public statements suggest that she would not support replacing U.S. military spending with a European defense system.

Very strongly disagree

Decrease

Stefanik has consistently supported increased military spending, making it highly unlikely that she would support a decrease in military spending. Her voting record in Congress, including her support for the National Defense Authorization Act, demonstrates this.
