OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Abortion should only be allowed to save the physical life of the mother.

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

Strongly Agree

I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.

Strongly Disagree


ECONOMY

What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?

Reduction of all taxes, fines and fees. The tax burden is already too high for the citizen in Michigan.

What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?

All of it. Start with a 10% across the board reduction in every government program.

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Strongly Disagree

The


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

Strongly Disagree

Under what circumstances can government close churches?

Under no circumstance should a government be allowed to close a church.


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)Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded.

Direct primary care options need to be more readily available and increase HSA affordability. Increase competition across state lines to improve health insurance options for individuals and families.

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

Absolutely none. In addition, if a vaccination is required or mandated for employment, legal ramifications must also be allowed so an individual can sue the company or government agency that mandated it. If the vaccine in question is a non-FDA approved, experimental vaccine, like the current Covid "vaccine" then additional criminal charges should be brought against the company officers or government agency directors that mandated it.


NATIONAL SECURITY

What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?

Secure our borders and enforce the immigration laws already on the books.

I support the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement to pressure Israel to withdraw from occupied territories, remove the separation barrier in the West Bank, allow full equality for Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel, and promote the rights of Palestinian refugees.

Strongly Disagree


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?

Anyone should be allowed to immigrate to the USA provided they follow the legal path to entry and eventual legal path to citizenship.


EDUCATION

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

Strongly Agree

The money should follow the children in order to promote competition and a better educational product available to parents. Once competition is encouraged through monetary consequences, all schools will course correct and focus on teaching students the basics and stop with the social propaganda campaigns.


VALUES

Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.

Strongly Agree

I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.

Strongly Disagree

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

Strongly Agree

Marriage by definition is one-man, one-woman. A "civil union" can be defined by whatever the government chooses.

I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.

Strongly Disagree

This is a racist doctrine that does nothing but encourage a whole new generation of victims. This CRT false teaching is toxic to individuals and families and is especially destructive to our neighborhoods.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I understand that the Bible is true and my values are based on that.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

Election integrity is the foundation of our Republic. If photo ID can be required for vaccination status, purchasing alcohol or driving a car, then there is no reason why photo ID cannot be required for voting in elections.

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?

There should be no ballot harvesting or drop boxes and unsolicited mail in absentee ballots must be eliminated. Election voting machines can never be connected to the internet and must be outlawed.


EQUALITY

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?

No, racism is not a threat to domestic security. It is violent groups like ANTIFA and BLM that are the threat to domestic security. In addition, socialism, gun laws, high taxes, regulations and inflation are the threat to domestic security.

Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.

Strongly Disagree


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Which comes closest to your view? A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost.

A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy.

I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.

Strongly Agree


ABOUT YOU

What do you think is the general purpose of government?

To protect the individual rights of citizens as defined in the Constitution.

When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and religious liberty, which of the following best describes you overall?

Very Conservative

I believe in the worth and value of the individual. I believe that government's role is to protect individual rights so the individual can live, exercise liberty and pursue happiness.

Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized in either civil or criminal court for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.

No

What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?

I support the role and authority of individuals and parents over the role and authority of government.


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.

Strongly Agree

I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.

Strongly Disagree


2ND AMENDMENT

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

None. I support Constitutional Carry laws to protect a citizens right to keep and bear arms.

Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.

Strongly Disagree
