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
2. Should the N.C. General Assembly authorize non-tribal commercial gambling casinos in North Carolina? N
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? Y
6. Should state nondiscrimination laws include "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" as protected classifications? Y* Yes, however biological males and females should compete in sports/and use bathrooms based on their birth assignment.
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? U* Taxes should not pay for an abortion. I do not support Planned Parenthood.
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
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* Parents need to know.
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* You cannot fully separate your faith from anything that you do. It is part of who you are. As a Christian, I am called to love my neighbor, not continue to villainize them as we’ve witnessed over the last few years. Politics is toxic, I’m looking to contribute to staunch debate, have a backbone, but will lower the temperature.
15. Should the number of terms a state legislator may serve in the North Carolina General Assembly be limited? Y* I pledged term limits. This means both in the Assembly and Congress. No one suddenly becomes more service-oriented. The sense of mission and your creativity to produce change will be at its height in the first few years. Eventually, you don’t get better, but offer more of the same…become more politically dug-in.
