George Allen:
Sexual orientation not a factor in judges' qualifications
Allen distanced himself from the rest of the field on whether a homosexual could serve as a judge. All four denounced activist judges, but only Allen said a person's sexual orientation should not be a factor in determining qualification for the
bench. "Judges when I look at them, I look at what are their qualifications," Allen said. "Sexual orientation is not a criteria for disqualifying."But he declined to say whether he supported the successful effort by state
Del. Bob Marshall, another Senate candidate, to block a gay Richmond prosecutor from a district judgeship earlier this month. "It's funny, I didn't hear an answer from our colleague,"
Marshall said. "I've already done it. You've seen it in the papers. It's quite easy to stand here and say you will do and not do things."

Dale Folwell:
Oppose IRS monitoring banks accounts with more than $600
Folwell is among a group of state treasurers and auditors opposing a proposal that would allow the IRS to monitor bank accounts with more than $600. Folwell said the plan would increase the administrative burden for small banking institutions,
especially those in rural North Carolina "who are already struggling to keep up with ransomware and hacking of their computers, and just generally, fighting against big banking behemoths across the country."

Scott Parkinson:
Deconstruct the regulatory state that crowds out investment
Political fear caused an economic crisis, and it will take political courage to reverse course and improve the economic situation for all Americans. Restoring energy independence, enacting pro-growth tax reforms that incentivize job creation,
risk-taking, and entrepreneurship, and deconstructing the administrative, regulatory state that crowds out investment and innovation are just a few ways policymakers can get the economy humming again so that household costs decrease.
