QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Life begins at conception. Period. The taking of innocent life, regardless, is wrong.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
Defund Planned Parenthood.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
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?
None
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Expose nations that support terror. Ensure we have cut off all funding, trade and that our allies follow our lead. Kill terrorists planning to attack US and our interests. Deman that our allies take the same action.
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
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.
ObamaCare has failed. Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
None
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
1. Reduction in property taxes. 2. Allow parents to utilize their property taxes for private education
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Require all agencies to live within their means, just like Texans must do. I would encourage agencies to explore year-over-year cost reductions at 1%, and, promote methods of successful targeting of waste, fraud, and abuse.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Yes. Activate the entire TX national guard to the border now. Add additional checkpoints 500 yards into Texas territory beyond each US check-point and charge a fee to travel to or from Mexico. Use those funds to cover check-points costs, AND to fund the wall.
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Only those who follow our existing legal process to enter and become citizens.

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

Prosecute criminals.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
