single-issue

Only one concern

Single-issue describes a focus on one political topic to the exclusion of others.

A single-issue voter decides based on a candidate's stance on one matter—abortion, guns, immigration—regardless of other positions.

Single-issue groups and candidates organize around that narrow focus: She's a single-issue candidate running entirely on housing reform.
