OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

Neutral

Consistent with conservative Republican Party principles for smaller government and less regulation, I favor less state control over abortion. Generally, I trust women to make decisions as to what is best for them, not third party organizations and government entities.

Chemical abortion drugs should meet essential safety standards (such as in-person consultation with a medical doctor) and require reporting to gather evidence on reactions and outcomes.

Strongly Disagree

Consistent with conservative Republican Party principles for smaller government and less regulation, I favor less state control over abortion. Generally, I trust women to make decisions as to what is best for them, not third party organizations and government entities.

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Does the federal government have a role to play in limiting abortion, and if so what federal steps and/or federal legislation would you support?

Yes, but a very limited role, such as limiting late-term abortions. Consistent with conservative Republican Party principles for smaller government and less regulation, I favor less state control over abortion. Generally, I trust women to make decisions as to what is best for them, not third party organizations and government entities. Should abortion be a federal political punching bag? Absolutely not.


ECONOMY

What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?

A more efficient government, less bureaucracy, more delegation to the states

Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.

Strongly Agree

Organized theft by burglar Joe Biden

Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?

No


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

Too complicated to answer in a small space but, generally, no government regulation of religious practices or finances.

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

Disagree


HEALTHCARE

Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?

Hard to predict. But very cautiously and carefully.

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.

Nome of the above precisely matches my views.


NATIONAL SECURITY

With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened. B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger. D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.

(B)

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.

Strongly Agree

Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?

Self-defeating

What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?

Poor national leadership. A zombie for a commander-in-chief


IMMIGRATION

The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.

Strongly Agree

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

Very limited circumstances, only to benefit the US with needed skills.


EDUCATION

I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.

Strongly Agree

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

Strongly Agree


VALUES

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

Neutral

Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.

Strongly Agree

Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.

Strongly Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
