2024 NC Governor's race: on Families & Children


Mark Walker: Called Congresswomen "eye candy" during press conference

Rep. Mark Walker called his female colleagues "eye candy" during a press conference. "The accomplished men and women of the RSC. And women, if it wasn't sexist, I would say the RSC eye candy, but we'll leave that out of the record," Walker said.

"During a press event today, I made a flippant remark meant to be light-hearted, but fell short," Walker said in a statement. "I'm proud of the women who serve in Congress, and in the leadership of the Republican Study Committee."

Dale Folwell: Increase pre-tax credit for childcare

Folwell said a tax credit wouldn't fully solve a housing affordability problem that's closely tied to other economic challenges, like inflation and the cost of childcare. "The best, simplest and most efficient way to solve several problems at one time is to increase the pre-tax credit that people can deduct out of their paychecks to pay for childcare," he said, adding that such a program would include "the responsibility to educate people, especially middle-, lower- and fixed-income individuals, about how this saves them money in the long run." Folwell pointed out that the typical cost of childcare is much larger than the maximum amount you can have withheld from your paycheck before taxes.

Mark Robinson: Viral speech: "ain't but two genders!"

Q: Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services?

: Strongly Disagree. No healthcare diagnosis or treatment, whether mental, reproductive, or otherwise, should be given to a child without first receiving written consent from the parent unless an emergency situation arises.

Q: Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation?

A: Strongly Agree. As a Christian, I believe that God created man and woman in his own image. (I gave a speech about this a few years ago--it went viral with the line "ain't but two genders!'.) The radical gender ideology of the extreme left must be stopped.

Q: Biological males should not be allowed to participate in women's sports?

A: Strongly Agree. The radical gender ideology of the extreme left must be stopped. If elected, I will protect our kids' classrooms, schools and sports teams from radical gender ideology.
