Whatever the current law is.

Same.

3) Should schools continue to push forward with proficiency-based diplomas? Why or why not?

Yes, because it is the current law.

4) Are you in favor of some type of universal health care for Maine residents? Why, or why not?

No, because I won’t support any increases in taxes.

I will work to resolve the issues at hand.
