RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Only under extreme circumstances - rape, molestation/incest, or where a board-certified, licensed medical professional determines the child to be a fatal risk to the mother's health. This is the same stance taken by Presidents Ronald Reagan & Donald J. Trump.

Would you support a limitation on chemical abortion that protects women from taking abortion pills without the care and supervision of a qualified physician?
Yes
I would not only limit chemical abortions, but ban them unless one of the three exemption requirements (Rape, Molestation/Incest, or where a board-certified, licensed medical professional determines the child to be a fatal risk to the mother's health) are met. If one of the exemptions are met, then it shall be conducted under the supervision of a licensed medical professional if it is determined a chemical abortion is the safest option for the mother.

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Disagree
While I do not believe taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college, I do believe more should be done in the state legislature to fix the price-gouging & skyrocketing tuition rates our nation's college students are facing while not raising taxes in order to do so.

Under what circumstances can government close churches?
The only circumstances where churches may be closed by the government would be that the church has been proven to allow and harbor illegal activity within its walls. If the Judicial process determines the church has done no harm, the government should immediately allow the church to reopen.

What should be the relationship between the church and the state?
Religion has served as a foundation of our nation and it is no secret that the Founding Fathers took inspiration from the Bible when founding this county. I believe that the Church and the State should have a healthy relationship where they support one another.

EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
No, I do not believe that racism is a threat to domestic security in the United States. While racism against any race is horrible and shouldn't be tolerated, to say that it is a threat to domestic security is a slap in the face towards all the progress we have made as a nation to put our dark past behind us.

ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Which comes closest to your view? A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost.
I would say that my beliefs fall in between option A and B. I'm a strong supporter of smart environmental policies and I do not believe that big corporations should have free reign to pollute our environments and harm North Carolinians in the process without repercussions. I do not believe that some radical environmental policies like the Green New Deal or proposed gas taxes have the North Carolinian people best interests at heart.
