None

Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.

Strongly Agree

The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.

ECONOMY

What is your position on the minimum wage?

The higher the minimum wage gets the more difficult it becomes for small businesses to maintain the workforce that they currently employ. The more expensive it is for business to operate the more prices must be raised to keep up.

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

Strongly Agree

List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.

Cut back on government spending allowing more dollars to remain in private sector. Conduct thorough audits of both federal and state dollars spent at the state level. Audit and eliminate state level government jobs created in last decade.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

As the founders intended the state is not to meddle in the church. The founders made no such appeal to the church to refrain from engaging in state affairs.

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Strongly Disagree


HEALTHCARE

What most closely matches your view on healthcare: A) Healthcare for all should be guaranteed and funded by the government with no private healthcare option. (includes "universal healthcare," "medicare for all," etc.) B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options. C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. D) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.

C. Medicaid and Medicare should remain available to the most needy in our state

The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.

Disagree

Agree

Yes. Israel is an important regional ally and friend to the United States. It is a consistent and reliable military ally that we can cooperate with in necessary operations. It is a key economic ally and trading partner in the middle east.


IMMIGRATION

Strongly Disagree


EDUCATION

I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.

Strongly Agree

VALUES

Government should recognize and support the fundamental right and essential duty of parents to direct their child's health and educational well-being.

Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.

Strongly Agree

Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.

I support the expansion of gambling in my state.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?

To arrest and prosecute criminals and sentence them to terms that are fair regardless of race, creed, color, or sex. Those terms should be served in full with few exceptions.

Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.

Strongly Agree

Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.

Strongly Agree


2ND AMENDMENT

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

Gun restrictions are antithetical to public safety. Restrictions only effect those who are law-abiding and pay attention to the law. Criminals constantly ignore gun control laws and commit crimes regardless of any restrictions.
