State House 19

1. Abortion: The 1973 Roe v. Wade U.S. Supreme Court abortion decision.
Steve Unger (Republican)
Oppose
I pray the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade this year.

*Editor's Note: This answer was given before the reversal of Roe v. Wade in June.
2. COVID: Letting private businesses terminate employees who are not vaccinated against COVID-19.
Steve Unger (Republican)
Oppose
There are many valid medical reasons to not get the shot. It should not be a knee jerk reaction to fire someone just because they are not vaccinated.
3. Marijuana: Legalizing recreational marijuana in Arkansas.
Steve Unger (Republican)
Oppose
Poverty and homelessness explode when marijuana is legalized. It is a gateway to harder drugs.
4. Education: Allowing public funds allocated for the education of a child to be used to pay for an education at any school the parent chooses.
Steve Unger (Republican)
Support
Children should not be held hostage to a bad school.
5. Critical Race Theory: Withholding state funds from any public school that promotes critical race theory.
Steve Unger (Republican)
Support
Our history should be taught, warts and all, but CRT is Marxist propaganda.
6. Elections: Requiring absentee ballots to be notarized in order to be counted in an election.
Steve Unger (Republican)
Undecided
I voted absentee while in Navy service at sea and stationed overseas. Getting it notarized was not possible. Always checking voting registration records is the best way for honest absentee voting.
7. Privacy: Requiring individuals to use the changing room, restroom, or shower of their biological sex on government property—such as public schools, state parks, and government buildings.
Steve Unger (Republican)
Support
Unequivocally.
8. Nursing Homes: Allowing family members to place a “granny camera” in the room of a nursing home resident for monitoring and visiting purposes.
Steve Unger (Republican)
Support
This supports resident safety.
9. Marriage: Making it more difficult to obtain a divorce by eliminating general indignities as grounds for divorce.
Steve Unger (Republican)
Support
No-fault divorce has eroded the family.
