QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including funds for “family planning,” contraception, or abortion counseling).
Strongly Agree
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
An elective abortion of a pregnancy caused from rape or incest that is performed before a heartbeat is present.
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
Existing Federal laws that prohibit the interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs should be enforced.
Strongly Agree
ECONOMY
What is your position on the minimum wage?
Increasing the minimum wage is inflationary. Increasing the wages of a worker causes the company to raise prices to cover the increased cost. Minimum wage jobs are usually entry level jobs with room for growth of the employee skillset or education.
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.
Eliminate redundancy in government agencies. Eliminate fraudulent billing to the government in various forms. Eliminate wasteful spending.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
The First Amendment States that "Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof". There is nothing stating that there should be a separation of church and state in the Constitution. This phrase was in a letter that Thomas Jefferson wrote. Religious freedom can and does occur in the halls of Congress and many other government institutions.
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
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.

It is an important relationship in that it strives to attain lasting peace in the middle east.
IMMIGRATION
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree

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 transition a child to the opposite sex are harmful to that child and should be prohibited.
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.
Strongly Agree
I support the expansion of gambling in my state.
