QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

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

Strongly Agree

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Elective abortions should only occur in cases of rape, incest or life of the mother.

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.

Strongly Agree

The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.

Did not answer


ECONOMY

What is your position on the minimum wage?

The free market is the best vehicle for lifting wages and expanding opportunity.

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.

1. Combat deficit spending, enforce financial accountability, protect the Rainy Day Fund. 2. Transparency on all government entities spending 3. Continue to streamline government regulations and reform permitting processes 4. Use positions on Appropriations and LBFC to continue to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse of taxpayer dollars


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

We must uphold the First Amendment and remember that the principle of separation of church and state was designed to shield people of faith from government intrusion, not to strip faith entirely from the public square. William Penn founded Pennsylvania as the "seed of a nation" to protect religious expression.

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

Disagree

Our First Amendment rights must be upheld.


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: Government healthcare should focus strictly on protecting our most vulnerable citizens, while keeping taxes low and preventing the creation of costly new taxpayer-funded programs. We must protect hard-earned taxpayer dollars by aggressively eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse within these programs.

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

Strongly Disagree


NATIONAL SECURITY

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?

Yes, it is fundamentally important. Israel is our top ally in the Middle East. The relationship helps us maintain stability against regional adversaries and shared geopolitical threats. Israel is an essential partner in global trade and commerce. Our nations must stand together against geopolitical terrorism, religious bigotry and maintain the only democratic anchor in the region.


IMMIGRATION

I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.

Strongly Disagree


EDUCATION

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

Strongly Agree

Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.

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.

Strongly Agree

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

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.

Agree

I support the expansion of gambling in my state.

Neutral

When casino gaming was first legalized in 2004, Pennsylvanians were promised that the revenue would heavily reduce or eliminate burdensome local school property taxes. That promise was broken. Any new gaming revenue should fulfill that original promise.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

As a Christian, my faith anchors both my personal life and my public service. It provides the inner strength and courage to do what is right without fear, guiding my responsibilities as a legislator. My faith continuously reminds me to seek the common good for the people who have entrusted me to represent them. When facing difficult challenges, I find comfort and perspective in remembering that far greater sacrifices have been made for me.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree


EQUALITY

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

Strongly Disagree

Biological males should not be allowed to participate in women's sports or occupy biological women's spaces whether it be bathrooms, locker rooms, sorority houses, women's shelters, or prison.

Strongly Agree


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.

Disagree

What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?

We need an all-of-the-above baseload strategy.


ABOUT YOU

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

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

No, I have not ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court.

Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.

No, I have not ever been convicted of a felony.


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?

Prioritize public safety, protect victims, hold violent offenders accountable, and seek accountability, rehabilitation, and redemption for those offenders that will return to our communities. The system must be firm, fair, predictable, effective, and protect the public.

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
