| No | d) Do you support providing financial relief to businesses AND/OR corporations negatively impacted by the state of national emergency for COVID-19? | ||
| The question of financial relief should be a YES but to many took advantage of the program including my challenger so unless the system is better controlled it will never work the way it was designed. | |||

| No | b) Do you support state funding for charter schools? | ||
| Yes | c) Do you support increasing teacher salaries AND/OR benefits in Indiana? | ||

| I support public EDUCATION and our teachers deserve our respect and to be paid at least the average in our country and not one of the worst in the country. I also believe the voucher and charter program's is broken and is draining our tax dollars away from the 90 % of children that need it . We can do better and this is my top priority once elected. | |||

| Yes | b) Do you support government regulations of greenhouse gas emissions? | ||
| Yes | c) Do you support increasing state funding for clean drinking water initiatives? | ||
| Worst water in the COUNTRY ! So bad two-thirds of our waterways are unfit for recreational usage. Top five worst air in the country ! Still giving money to coal and using coal as a power source. Its time for a change and I have plans on how to do it ! | |||

| Once again we can do better. Registration should be automatic as soon as you turn 18. We need to end control of allowing one party to gerrymander the districts that allow them to pick their voters rather than the voters picking their representatives. Last we need to end DARK money and large PAC's being formed to funnel money into our system | |||
| Yes | a) Do you generally support gun-control legislation? | ||
| Yes | b) Should background checks be required on gun sales between private citizens at gun shows? | ||
| Yes | c) Should a license be required for gun ownership? | ||

| All excellent questions and all goes with my policy of giving people less things to worry about and more money in their pockets. I also plan use the taxes from the legalization of marijuana to help build back up our public schools that have been abandoned by the current administration by updating the buildings and giving all our teachers a raise. | |||
| Yes | a) Do you support the inclusion of sexual orientation in Indiana's anti-discrimination laws? | ||
| Yes | b) Do you support the inclusion of gender identity in Indiana's anti-discrimination laws? | ||
| Yes | c) Do you support greater efforts by Indiana's state government in closing gender, racial and other wage gaps? | ||
| All people are Hoosiers and LOVE is LOVE ! | |||
| I have already mentioned our education system as well as our water and air . The other area I will be working hard for is workforce and transitional housing . I believe that having a roof over your head should be a human right, not special privilege. I will be working with state and counties as well as builders to find ways to bring back the starter communities we need to give people a chance to live and work in any community.Also by having transitional housing everyone has a chance to start over without being homeless. | |||
| I have mentioned that with the legalization of marijuana the bulk of those tax dollars can be used for our education system as well as transitional housing and mental health care. The Water and Air issues can be fixed much easier by enforcing regulations on the books and using monies being spent poorly on large corporations and coal and instead use it to clean up there mess. |
