Question	Response	Comments/Notes
1. Should all voters be required to show identification before voting?	Y*	I believe this is a common sense issue that should be a concern to everyone.
2. Should the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act be amended to include "sexual orientation" and "gender identity," which could require public schools and other public facilities to open up restrooms and locker rooms to members of the opposite sex?	N*	I do not believe that the opposite gender should be allowed in shared bathrooms in our public schools.
3. Should marijuana be legalized and sold commercially for recreational use?	N
4. Should increases in state government spending be limited to the rate of inflation plus population growth?	N*	Increases is state spending should be dictated by what we can afford. If we want to spend more then the state should look to grow state revenue by increasing our natural energy production. This will boost revenue, create more business opportunities, and increase good paying jobs for people in our commonwealth.
5. Should Pennsylvania make cuts to the Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) student scholarship program?	N*	This is an excellent program that helps many students in the commonwealth afford getting an excellent education at the school of their choice.
