Drafted by AI from the public sources cited. Each sentence links to its source.
Each issue has its own range of views. A position is marked on that range only when the candidate's own statement clearly matches one option; there is no overall left–right score.
Education
His campaign website says North Carolina should expand its state-funded Education Savings Account program to more students, expand and fully fund the Opportunity Scholarship program, and have education tax dollars follow the student.6
Health Care
His campaign website says the country can follow the example of Singapore's market-driven health care system.5
Crime, Policing and Prisons
