Question	Response	Comments/Notes
1. Should elective abortions be paid for by taxpayer dollars?	N*	I am an unwavering voice for the protection of life and believe taxpayer funds should never be used for elective abortions. These procedures on minors should not just be defunded, but they should be treated as criminal acts and banned outright with penalties.
2. Should all voters be required to show identification before voting?	Y*	I demand election integrity through mandatory voter ID and a return to paper ballots to restore trust in our electoral process.
3. Should public schools allow males who identify as females to compete in girls’ sports?	N*	We must protect the fairness and safety of female sports and stop the radical woke agenda that harms our children.
4. Should marijuana be legalized and sold commercially for recreational use?	N*	Commercialization poses risks to our communities; I prioritize public safety and protecting our families over the commercial sale of marijuana.
5. Should Pennsylvania increase the minimum wage?	N*	Increasing the minimum wage hurts small businesses and farms. We should focus on cutting regulations and taxes to lower inflation instead.
6. Should schools post curriculum online for review by parents and taxpayers?	Y*	Parents, not the government, should have the final say in education. Transparency is required to ensure schools focus on excellence, not indoctrination.
7. Should the state gas tax be repealed?	Y*	Eliminating taxes that crush homeowners and small businesses is a priority. Repealing the gas tax provides immediate economic relief to our district.
8. Should Pennsylvania taxpayers pay for surgical procedures, cross-sex hormones, and puberty blockers for minors wishing to present as the opposite sex?	N*	I will fight to end the radical agenda that uses taxpayer dollars for permanent, life-altering medical interventions for minors.
9. Should increases in state government spending be limited to the rate of inflation plus population growth?	Y*	We must cut wasteful spending and bring the backbone needed to stand up to the "suit and tie" political establishment in Harrisburg.
10. Should Pennsylvania opt in to the federal tax credit program under the Educational Choice for Children Act?	Y*	I am a staunch advocate for school choice and will champion policies that allow parents to choose the best environment for their children.
