| Question | Response | Comments/Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Should North Carolina parents who choose to educate their children in a non-public school be eligible to receive a state-funded scholarship grant to assist with the cost of tuition and fees? | Y* | Our state constitution mandates education for all students; therefore, state dollars should follow the child based on parental decisions of where they are educated. |
| 2. Should the N.C. General Assembly authorize non-tribal commercial gambling casinos in North Carolina? | N* | I am not opposed to allowing counties decide for themselves by referendum, but the General Assembly should not mandate where casinos go. |
| 3. Should abortion be prohibited in North Carolina once a fetal heartbeat is detected? | Y | |
| 4. Should North Carolina voters be required to show a photo ID in order to vote in North Carolina? | Y | |
| 5. Should the N.C. General Assembly legalize the use of marijuana for medical purposes? | N* | The General Assembly should not create a separate framework for medical marijuana outside of the legalized pharmaceutical system. |
| 6. Should state nondiscrimination laws include "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" as protected classifications? | N | |
| 7. Should biological male students who identify as female be allowed to participate on female sports teams? | N | |
| 8. Should organizations that provide abortions be allowed to receive state funds? | N | |
| 9. Should North Carolina law allow a medical professional to assist another person in ending their life? | N | |
| 10. Should a health care practitioner, who is present at the time a child is born alive after a failed abortion attempt, be required by state law to exercise the same degree of skill, care, and diligence to preserve the life and health of that child as would be expected for any other child born alive at the same gestational age? | Y | |
| 11. Should North Carolina public schools be required to allow students to voluntarily participate in “released time” religious instruction during school hours—provided that it takes place off-campus, with parental consent, and at no cost to the public school unit? | Y* | This provision has already passed the General Assembly and I voted for it. |
| 12. Should N.C. law (G.S. §90-21.5) continue to allow minors to consent to the treatment of venereal disease or other reportable communicable diseases, pregnancy (not including abortion), abuse of controlled substances or alcohol, and emotional disturbance, without parental consent? | N | |
| 13. Should churches and other qualified religious organizations continue to receive tax-exempt status? | Y | |
| 14. Should a person’s religious beliefs influence the decisions they make while serving in public office? | Y* | There are limitations to this question. This nation was founded on Christian principles and is the basis for our government's philosophy. We do, however, have freedom of religion. While I will make decisions consistent with our Federal and State Constitutions and the Bible, I would be opposed to any public officer making decisions based on Sharia Law or any other religion. |
| 15. Should the number of terms a state legislator may serve in the North Carolina General Assembly be limited? | N* | Voters are the ones to make this decision. However, I am for establishing upper age limits and limiting the number of terms to serve in leadership positions. |
