Here are your answers compared to this voter’s answers.
Healthcare › COVID Mask Mandate
d>d Personal answerAgain this is a question of government control. People should be responsible enough to decide for themselves. Businesses should be allowed to decide what is best for their business as well. There are places that should require mask wear, but it is in their hands to enforce. |
Social › LGBT Adoption Rights
d>d Personal answerYes, as long as they pass the same background checks as straight couples |

d>d Personal answerNo, Required no as again the government is trying to control something that is personal or department choice. I think body cameras are a smart way to cover your ass, but requiring them is not necessary |
Social › Marital Rape
d>d Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › Insurrection Act
d>d Personal answerYes, if a governor or mayor loses control the military needs to step in |
Healthcare › Drug Price Regulation
d>d Personal answerThere needs to be some sort of control on this subject. Private businesses are in business to make profit, but when that profit is at the expense of someone who needs what that business provides there is an issue. Healthcare has to be AFFFORDABLE for all. Not free, but affordable and income level determines what affordable is. Gross income is a poor number to use in some cases as that is not what people have available to them to use to pay for bills, housing, food, and healthcare. |
Healthcare › Pre-Existing Conditions
d>d Personal answerNo |
Social › Gun Buyback
d>d Personal answerNo, this is a violation of the 2nd amendment |

d>d Personal answerI am undecided on this issue |
Healthcare › Mental Health
d>d Personal answerYes |

the Economy › Minimum Wage
d>d Personal answerYes...the current minimum wage is poverty level if not below. Wages for all "working" people should be addressed and there should be a cap on what celebrities, ball players, movie stars make as no one is worth that much money. Bonuses and payments made to individuals at the expense of rising costs to the consumer have to stop. Huge profits at the expense of the consumer is wrong. Politicians need a salary cap as well. |
Domestic Policy › Armed Teachers

Domestic Policy › Term Limits
d>d Personal answerYes, and decrease their salary and retirement benefits |
the Economy › Taxes

Social › Racial Sensitivity Training

Education › Free College for All
d>d Personal answerNo, but the interest rate should be 0-1% and not compounded daily. It is soul crushing to see your student loan balance get higher because your payment does not even cover the interest. Income repayment plans are horrible for this. Give the borrower a way to actually pay it off without so much penalty. |
Education › Student Loans
d>d Personal answerNo, but we should still reduce interest rates for student loans |
Social › Death Penalty
d>d Personal answerYes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence |

Healthcare › Medicaid
d>d Personal answerYes, but only increase for the elderly and disabled |

Immigration › Border Security
d>d Personal answerYes |
Crime › Private Prisons
d>d Personal answerNo |
Social › Gender Workplace Diversity
d>d Personal answerBoard members should be most qualified no matter what...without the "good ole boys" club in place. Men need to get a grip and think outside the box. |

Foreign Policy › Foreign Elections
d>d Personal answerNo, and we should not try to influence any other country’s elections or policy |

d>d Personal answerYes, but the sections involving surveillance and criminalization are too broad |

Immigration › Immigrant Assimilation
d>d Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › Net Neutrality

d>d Personal answerNot all people on Medicaid are able to work, so requiring it is ridiculous. There needs to be a better review system involving all aspects of body and mind of the person requesting Medicaid. A full physical and psychological evaluation should be done as to ascertain if a person would even be able to contribute to the work force or if it would cost more money to put this person into the workforce. |
