OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES

Congress should repeal the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare).

Election of judges by the people for a definite term of office is the best way to select judges.

Agree

More restrictive gun control laws are needed to protect public safety.

Disagree

Government should enforce laws designed to protect the border and to prevent illegal entry into the country.

Strongly Agree

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

Religious liberty is at risk in the United States.

Strongly Agree

Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.

Strongly Agree

Free enterprise and the right to private property turn mankind's natural self-interest into the most productive economic system there is.

Strongly Agree

There should be a strict constitutional spending limit for state and local governments that would tie the rate of spending to the rate of population growth plus the rate of inflation.

Agree

Marijuana should be legalized and regulated like tobacco and alcohol.

Disagree

Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which permitted our system of limited government.

Strongly Agree

The founders established pure democracy in the Constitution because they believed that it is the best form of government to ensure the safety and equitable treatment of all citizens.

Strongly Disagree

Free-market competition for education dollars, rather than a government monopoly, would create a better education for all students.

Strongly Agree

Where minor children are involved, divorce laws should be reformed to include mutual consent of both parents and an increased waiting period, unless there is fault or abuse.

Agree

The Ten Commandments should not be displayed in public school buildings.

Strongly Disagree

Business owners should be required by law to bake cakes, provide flower arrangements, etc., for same-sex weddings, even when these activities would infringe on their sincerely-held religious beliefs.

Strongly Disagree

Our state should participate in the nationwide Common Core standards for high-school graduation.

Strongly Disagree

Physician-assisted suicide should be legal.

Strongly Disagree

The more people live by Judeo-Christian values, the less government is needed.

Strongly Agree

Islamic law (Sharia) does not pose a threat to the United States and its Constitution.

Strongly Disagree

Governments should define marriage as between one man and one woman; no other definition of marriage should be legalized or supported with public funds.

Strongly Agree

It is the government’s responsibility to be sure everyone has health care and a livable income.

Disagree

Planned Parenthood should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments.

Strongly Agree

What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?

The sinful nature of every human being causes us to constantly seek more power and authority to require everyone conform to our own personal ideals--government is no different. The separation of powers keeps each branch in line and limits authority of one branch over the other.

Based on the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, please arrange the following entities, starting with the highest source of authority, and continue the list in descending order of authority, skipping any that do not apply: Academia, Congress, Constitution, God, Industry, Media, Professional Sports, Supreme Court, Voters.

God - Constitution - People

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

None

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a Christian. I believe I am a redeemed child of God who has not and cannot do anything to earn my salvation. I believe in the Triune God (Father, Son, Holy Spirit), three persons in one God. I believe Jesus Christ, God's Son, is true God and was sent to earth, born of a virgin, to suffer and die for the sins of the world. I believe Jesus triumphantly rose from the dead and ascended into heaven where he prepares a place for all believers to join him on Judgment day for eternity. My spiritual beliefs are the source of my values.

Considering all issues (social, economic, national security, etc.), which of these best describes you?

Very Conservative

Please defend your answer to the previous question by referencing your publicly available track record.

I have a 100% pro-life voting record. I have sponsored or cosponsored every God-pleasing, conservative family-friendly bill. I take my oath to the Constitution very seriously as can be found from my duties on the Judiciary Committee, particularly supporting the end of the abusive practices of the Joh Doe Laws in Wisconsin. I vote to protect property rights and support what I believe to be God-pleasing environmental issues. I have supported election reforms in Wisconsin such as photo ID at the polls. I believe and have supported lower taxes, which allows citizens to keep more of their hard-earned wages to benefit their family and church. I want lower income children to have access to education that suits their religious beliefs.
