Question Response Comments/Notes
1. Should Congress pass legislation that expressly prohibits the distribution of abortion inducing drugs across state lines? Y* I have sponsored H.R. 729 – Teleabortion Prevention Act of 2025 as well as H.R. 679 that would reverse the FDA's 2023 changes that allow certified pharmacies to dispense mifepristone by mail and would restore the prior in-person dispensing requirements.
2. Should Congress pass legislation to ban sports gambling across the United States? Y
3. Should North Carolina voters be required to show a photo ID in order to vote in North Carolina? −
4. Should Congress pass legislation that would protect citizens from being charged with discrimination because of their sincerely held religious beliefs about marriage? Y* As a pastor I have fought for protecting religious liberty for many years prior to ever running for congress!
5. Should Congress legalize the use of marijuana for medical purposes? N
6. Should Congress pass legislation that prohibits biological males who identify as female from participating on female sports teams? Y* I cosponsored the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act (H.R. 28), which would amend Title IX to recognize sex for athletics based on a person's reproductive biology and genetics at birth for determining eligibility in women's and girls' sports.
7. Should Congress continue to provide funding for abstinence-until-marriage sexual education programs? Y
8. Should organizations that provide abortions be allowed to receive federal taxpayer dollars? N* Taxpayer dollars should not be used to subsidize organizations that perform or promote abortions. I have supported legislation to protect unborn life and to ensure taxpayer dollars are not used to fund abortion-related services.
9. Should Congress pass legislation requiring a health care practitioner, who is present at the time a child is born alive after a failed abortion attempt, to exercise the same degree of skill, care, and diligence to preserve the life and health of the child as would be expected for any other child born alive at the same gestational age? Y* Every child born alive deserves the same legal protections and medical care, regardless of the circumstances of their birth. I supported the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act to ensure that any infant born alive after an attempted abortion receives the same degree of care as any other newborn and to hold providers accountable if they fail to do so.
10. Should Congress prohibit "gender transition procedures" on minors, including the administration of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones and the performance of "gender reassignment surgery?" Y
11. Should a person’s religious beliefs influence the decisions they make while serving in public office? Y* My faith influences everything I do.
12. Should churches and other qualified religious organizations continue to receive tax-exempt status? Y
13. Should the number of terms an individual may serve in the U.S. Senate or U.S. House be limited? Y* I have always been, and continue to be an avid supporter of term limits.
14. Should the U.S. Constitution be amended to require Congress to balance the federal budget every year? Y
