- "While in many cases medicinal marijuana can be effective for patients suffering from various maladies, which I support, I do not believe, that legalizing marijuana for recreational purposes is good for the community. Whatever the result of the ballot measure this fall, it will still be in conflict with federal law, which does not recognize or allow for the recreational use of marijuana. I have seen first-hand the impact of the devastation of drugs in a community, from the degradation of ones health to an increase in criminal activity to pay for the drugs." (votesmart.org)

- "I believe they already have a path to citizenship and that is legal immigration. We are a Nation of laws and for the past 28 years, I have been upholding our laws and protecting the rights of democrats, republicans, legal and illegal immigrants. We need to enforce our current laws before we do anything else." (www.votebobpeterson.com)
- "Similar to DACA, this (Deferred Action for Parents of Americans) should be acted upon by the Congress, as current law does not permit deferred action. I will support full legislative action to implement a program similar to what the President has unilaterally implemented as a Member of Congress." (votesmart.org)
- "We are a Nation of laws and I think this (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival) is an example of Executive1 overreach by President Obama. His unilateral implementation of this law without any authority may be rendered moot by the courts, and will leave thousands in limbo. This should be done right and that means this issue must be authorized by the Congress. I will support full legislative action to implement a similar program as a Member of Congress." (votesmart.org)
