Instructions: Hover your mouse over the Question Bubble graphic to read the original question on the candidate survey (you can also click on the icon to keep the question in view and then click it again to hide it). If the candidate responded “YES or AGREE” Yes, “NO or DISAGREE” No, or “UNDECIDED” Undecided, it’s listed in the “Answer” row. If a candidate skips answering a question, a Undecided symbol is shown for that question. Question 7 does not offer a yes/no response, so you must hover your mouse over the Comment Bubble symbol to read the candidate’s response. If the candidate provided any written comments to explain their answer, you will see a Comment Bubble symbol in the “Comments” row. You can read it by hovering your mouse over the Comment Bubble symbol (or click on it).

Please provide any additional comments you think are helpful. If you have comments regarding specific questions in this survey, please indicate the question # you are referring to.

Question #2 Yes the person with the new anatomic equipment has a mental disorder and would be problematic in either bathroom, but if they walk, talk and now possess the anatomic equipment of a particular sex, the most appropriate bathroom or shower would be the one that their anatomic equipment now matches.

Question number 21, could open the door to statewide blanketing of other undesirable elements which haven’t been considered yet, though no uniformity is very problematic and making state laws which take away local control is a concern of mine.

Question #28 the answer is yes as long as the attorneys meet the basic requirements defined by law before running for the Judicial position because popularity alone is not a good race for judges to compete in.

The last three questions must not have been placed together in one question (asking us to pick the best of the three) because I assume each must have been meant stand on its own.

I have previously been honored with endorsements from right to life. I personally carried a house abortion/consent bill which was brought to fruition. My Sen, Sen Dyson had been working g the same bill in the senate. When my bill was ready to be moved from judiciary as I had the votes, the chair asked if I wanted my bill or the senators bill to be the one to become law. I respect Fred and I immediately deferred to the senate bill and asked chair Mcquire to pass his from committee, not mine.

Please provide any additional comments you think are helpful.

There are a few questions that I read several times and hope I understand what the question was. There are a few “disagrees” that could be fixed by tweaking the system.
