OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
medical emergency / physical health of the mother
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
Chemical Abortion drugs are very dangerous in the hands of sex-traffickers. Far from women's empowerment, these drugs allow for greater women's enslavement.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer 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

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
What is your position on the minimum wage?
wages should be set by the supply and demand of labor in the marketplace.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
ESG cartel should be outlawed. Any institution using ESG criteria should be ostracized and publicly condemned.

Under what circumstances can government close churches?
Basically never, Only if the free exercise of religion is interfering with a compelling state interest (breaking an actual law, like engaging in human sacrifice, i.e. abortion)

Free exercise of religion must be upheld in all areas of society, including the realm of public accommodation.

C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary.
