Many people argued it is not a fair matchup as the hormone pills enhances their athletic ability. Being the pills taken are considered drugs, what are your thoughts on this issue?

2) Do you believe we should have regular random drug testing for government officials? For example, politicians, judges, probation officers, police officer, etc. Why or why not?

3) What type of criminal punishment do you think we ought to give people who sexually assault others while he or she is drunk?

4) For years, groups like “Mothers Against Drunk Drivers” (M.A.D.D.) have had some success with lobbing legislatures for harsher criminal punishment for Driving While Intoxicated (D.W.I.), yet DWI remains a leading cause of death in our country. With that said and if you were a legislator, what new law (that does not already exist) would you enact to stop or entirely prevent drunk driving?

5) When people are drunk and behave unwisely and with the exemption of sexual assault, who do you think is at fault, the drunk person or those who react to the situation?

6) If we allow the use of drugs both natural and artificial, like 5-hour energy drinks or ginseng/ginger tea, do you believe we should allow athletics the same privilege to enhance their endurances?1) Recently, we have had transgender boys and girls who competed based on their gender in transition, that is, transgender boys competing against girls and vice versa.
