Brief, Specific Questions Do you support delivering the full amount of every child's K-12 funding into an education savings account his parents can use at a public, private, or home school, or a blend of school options? Would you remove state funding from state universities, grant recipients, and K-12 schools that violate the U.S. Constitution's ban on all forms of state-sponsored racial hatred such as preaching "White privilege" or supporting terrorist groups, such as Hamas? Do you support raising government revenue through gambling, which preys upon the poor and people's base compulsions?

Context: Federal and state courts are increasingly rejecting constitutional jurisprudence, which leads to a lawless and politicized justice system.

Context: As state executive, the governor has the duty to hold the line against federal overreach, which often requires taking the federal government to court.

Question: If the state attorney general challenges a federal regulation or action, how would you require your state agencies to cooperate with the attorney general with that challenge? Context: The stated purpose of economic development agencies is to grow the economy and create well-paying jobs.

Question: How would you shift state workforce priorities to put the needs of families, especially children, above the desires of businesses to offer fewer benefits and wages that can't sustain a family on one income?
