|---|---|---|
| 1. Should homeless and domestic violence shelters be required to allow biological men who identify as women to share restrooms, washing quarters, and sleeping quarters with female residents? | N | |
| 2. Should marijuana be legalized for recreational use? | U* | A state policy shift would be indifferent so long as marijuana remains a Schedule I drug.

| 4. Should medical professionals be prohibited from prescribing cross-sex hormones and puberty-blocking drugs to minors for the purpose of "gender transitioning?" | Y | |
| 5. Should Ohio enact a "Backpack Bill," ensuring all parents are eligible for taxpayer-funded scholarships or subsidies for their children to attend the school of their choice, including non-public schools? | Y | |
| 6. Should the death penalty be abolished? | N* | I support the protection of the innocent and the punishment of the guilty. |
| 7. Should abortion be prohibited from the moment of conception? | Y | |
| 8. Should cities and other municipalities be prohibited from allowing non-U.S. citizens from voting in local elections? | Y | |
