Candidate's Comments:
For Item 9B: I support ensuring people are not discriminated against by their Gender Identity in terms of jobs, benefits and publicly funded programs. However, I don't believe people should be forced to call someone by their pronouns especially if it violates their religious beliefs. I tend to side with the first amendment on these kinds of issues. I would have to see the merits of an individual case, law or proposal to give a specific answer.

Candidate's Comments:
On Item 3: I am generally torn on this question. I believe this practice should be very rare. However, in the case of extreme pain and suffering I tend to fall on the side of general liberty of the individual to make such a decision - even if I personally would not support it.
