Should the federal government increase oversight of state and local police departments?
"This is a really tricky question. Issues should be dealt with at the most local level possible. At the same time, the police are rarely held accountable for their bad actions. I am in support of Justin Amash's bill to end qualified immunity. I may be in support of more federal regulations to prevent legal protections for the cops. At the same time I oppose the federal government running local police stations. I would also like to see the federal government stop selling used military equipment to local police stations. Local police stations should not be a military."Against| Read My Position

Do you support the option of mail-in ballots for all voters, not just absentees?
"This is an issue for local and state governments to decide. Since my race is a federal race, I have not given this issue much thought. I do see problems with mail in ballots. It does seem very easy to commit voter fraud with mail in ballots. I would like to see state and local governments exercise extreme caution with mail-in ballots."For| Read My Position
