Hunsaker sat down hours after the Supreme Court’s ruling overturning Roe v. Wade.
“I applaud the decision by the court to return legislative power on this sensitive issue. That is not part of our constitution. It is not enumerated as a right of the federal government.”
As a pro-life candidate Hunsaker said he will “advocate for the unborn” as a believer in the sanctity of life. He acknowledges “there are many ways that we can and should at the state level, empower families, empower expectant parents, through resources and education.”
Hunsaker discussed his position on the following issues:
- Roe V Wade Overturned
- Bi-partisan gun legislation
- Inflation/Economy
- Gas prices/Biden proposed gas tax holiday
- Forgiving school debt
- January 6th hearings
