Ayotte is a self-described "law-and-order [[Republican]]" who is [[pro-life]] (except in cases of rape, incest or medical emergency) and opposes [[same-sex marriage]]. If she had been a Senator at the time, Ayotte would have voted to confirm [[Sonia Sotomayor]] to the [[U.S. Supreme Court]]. She has criticized government bailouts of the banks and the auto industry as well as the [[economic stimulus package]]. "They spent nearly $1 trillion of our money and said this is something that will stimulate our [[economy]], you look at that bill, some of that spending doesn't even occur until 2019. You tell me how that's going to stimulate the economy right now." She added "We can't spend money we don't have." <ref>http://www.concordmonitor.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090812/FRONTPAGE/908120375/1037/NEWS04</ref>
