OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Abortion ends the life of an unborn child and should only be allowed to save the 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
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Disagree
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
Never. Government should never impose its will upon religious institutions.
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
A strong military - including military intelligence, maintaining a secure border, supporting and funding local law enforcement, enforcing our laws and prosecuting criminal activity will help deter and eradicate terrorism threats.
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.
C
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Vaccination is a medical treatment that may not be appropriate for every individual. As such, patients should have a choice to exercise their right to decline.
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
I support reducing Arizona's corporate and personal income tax rates.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Reducing the numbers eligible and dependent on government programs such as Medicaid by enabling more affordable health care..
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
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Our laws enabling legal immigration from all over the world are sufficient. The problem is enforcement. These laws, as well as visa overstays, should be enforced and prosecuted when broken.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
