Strongly Agree

I am PRO-LIFE. The Child in the mother’s womb is the most innocent and vulnerable LIFE and has an inalienable right to live.

Strongly Agree

These are very dangerous drugs and threaten the health and the life of the women and child.

The LIFE of MOTHER and CHILD should always be protected. Medically both LIVES should be sought to be saved in the event of medical issues with the mother.

I am Pro-Life. LIFE and Liberty those Unalienable rights endowed to ALL by our Creator, especially the most precious innocent life, the child in the mother’s womb should always be protected. Love them both, mother and child! Mother Teresa said “America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade has deformed a great nation. The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against me. It has sown violence and discord at the heart of the most intimate human relationships … It has portrayed the greatest of gifts – a child – as a competitor, an intrusion, and an inconvenience” - Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910 – 1997)

Rates for all taxpayers reduced, flatten the rates on income and capital gains, eliminate the death tax, eliminate taxation of Social Security on seniors, simplify the tax code.

Strongly Agree

If you signed up for it, pay for it. Laborers, Trade and Technology workers, small business owners, and job creators who never went to college, and never took out student loans should not be paying for others higher education degrees. I had student loans, I paid them, my children had student loans, they paid them. We need to defederalize the wasteful and corrupt programs in Washington DC which had driven up the cost of college and have corrupted higher education.

No

Absolutely not, Communist CHINA and all good socialist dictatorships, tyrannies use government to control, track and enslave their citizens. I will defend and respect the Constitution of the UNITED STATES, as your REPRESENTATIVE IN CONGRESS, I will ensure your voice is all that matters in deciding where your tax dollars are spent. It's not the Governments money, it yours!

There is a false belief that religion and politics are two separate entities that can’t intersect. The expression “separation of church and state” is found in a letter by Thomas Jefferson responding to a letter from the Danbury Baptist Association in 1802. Per Jefferson, the metaphor of a “wall of separation” was not intended to say that religion should not influence opinion on government issues. Rather, it was used to affirm free religious practice for citizens. I will defend 1A rights!

Strongly Disagree

It is UNCONSTITUTIONAL to DEMAND for any individual or business to be forced to provide services in violation of their religious beliefs. The FIRST Amendment protects this right!

NONE! MEDICAL FREEDOM is an individual and a parent's RIGHT. I will defend the right of every AMERICAN to be free to make their own medical decisions without coercions and forced medical procedures upon by the government, schools or employers!

C – must improve funding, mgmt, & coverage; Protect pre-existing conditions, tort reform, allow for portability of insurance across state lines & from employer to employee, no limitations on when, where and how you can buy, health share networks, tax deductible health savings accounts for all, mandatory price lists & quotes w/o regard to ability to pay/insurance, price gouging not allowed, make Big PHARMA liable again, Return to Free Market practices, Promote and encourage independent research.

C- America First, we should be cautious, judicious, and selective on any use of our military. Only the US CONGRESS may declare WAR. We need to abide by the Constitution which has been ignored for nearly 70 years on foreign entanglements.

Strongly Agree

Biden & son Hunter have long been engaged in corruption with CHINA with serious national security ramifications. H.Biden made $5.8 million, more than half his total earnings from 2013-2018, from 2 deals with Chinese businesses. According to records referred to in Senate report, Hudson West III, a venture funded by the Chinese oil & natural gas company CEFC & its chairman, Ye Jianming, paid $4,790,375 to Owasco P.C. over one year. Government Filings show Owasco P.C. is controlled by Hunter Biden.

Yes. I support our ally, Israel. I strongly condemn the terrorist organization HAMAS and the heinous, evil, and barbaric acts of war against Israel and its people. I denounce Anti-Semitism and the rising threats against the Jewish people promoted by the radical left in American/World. I denounce the radical members of Congress who engage in Anti-Semitism. I call on my opponent Lauren Underwood to denounce the actions/statements of Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib & other members.

Unadvised foreign entanglements and missions inconsistent with our American founding principles. Political and legalistic rules of engagement, which endanger our troops and compromise their missions. Woke policies, gender dysphoria indoctrination, corrupt and political left-wing generals, forced vaccinations, and general mismanagement by political and military leaders.

Strongly Agree

I support a constitutional immigration process. 1. Build / Finish the wall 2. Enforce existing Immigration law. 3. No DACA and No Amnesty 4. End LBJ's Chain migration immigration. 5. End the practice of birthright citizenship for illegal aliens and foreign visitors. 6. Enforce the Border, deport illegal immigrant when detained. End catch-and-release. Require law enforcement to report 7. End sanctuary cities, States 8. Enforce the law against employers breaking it 9. Cap/reduce all Immigration.

Individuals seeking to become an American citizen who LOVE America and FREEDOM, who possess, drive, skill, and ability to prosper, on a limited number basis capped at levels that protect American citizens interest first. And those who are legitimate in eminent danger and meet the full legal requirements for refugee and Asylum status.

Strongly Agree

Parents rights need to be restored; the public school system has been taken over by the woke Left. They have instituted their own forced indoctrination of left-wing radical beliefs, sexual grooming and promiscuity curriculum instead of fundamental education like math, reading, writing, science and trades. We need to end this disastrous anti-American and unconstitutional takeover of the education system, where children of all races, background and religions are failing in record numbers.

Strongly Agree

The waste and fraud and social indoctrination coming from Washington, via forced mandates, and agendas like common core, etc. need to be eliminated.

Strongly Agree

Marriage has been defined by God as a union of one man and one woman, who shall become one.

Strongly Agree

We must protect our children from the sexual traffickers & predators, from grooming and child abuse, now openly promoted by the radical left.

Strongly Disagree

This is child abuse, doctors, counselors and teachers promoting this need to be criminally charged.

I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; he descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

Strongly Disagree

We need election integrity, voter ID to ensure one legal voter one vote, ban on ballot harvesting, limit early voting, strong chain of custody with signature verification for all vote by mail, election audits, cleansing of voter rolls, quickly and regularly. Prosecution of voter fraud and ballot stuffing, etc. and election monitoring of election officials in every aspect of the election from ballot printing to receiving vote by mail and everything in between.

Strongly Disagree

If this ever happens, it is the end of America and FREEDOM, the radical left wants a socialist America.

Strongly Disagree

CRT is fundamentally racist. And CRT is Creating Racial Tensions, because that is exactly what it is intended to do. We need to take heart and abide by these words: "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Strongly Agree

We need to protect women and girls, from males in their sports, their locker rooms and spaces!

Strongly Disagree

There is not specific, concrete evidence of human activity significantly impacting climate. In contrast there is direct evidence implicating those promoting "theory of man-made climate change" of fabrication and falsification of data to support their claims. Evidence supports climate change occurs naturally and has been from one ice-age to another. Gov. role has a limited role to ensure clean air, water. We need common sense controls on emissions, etc. to ensure a clean, healthy environment.

I am for all of the above Energy, as long as the Government is not involved in picking winners and losers, and not providing bad incentives. We have many good options. Clean natural gas, clean coal with emerging technologies, nuclear and others.

Conservative

I’m in the race for the same reasons that matter to you, to protect LIFE, LIBERTY, and the Pursuit of Happiness. These are the foundation of our American principles! Our nation and values are under assault. The current occupant, Rep. Lauren Underwood, does not agree with these principles. She votes 100% with the Democrats & BIDEN march towards socialism. I am running to protect LIFE, LIBERTY, and the Pursuit of Happiness. I will defend our values, to SAVE America and the American Dream!

To protect LIFE, LIBERTY, and the Pursuit of Happiness. These are the foundation of our American principles! 1) efficient government at every level 2) carefully monitored spending 3) fiscal responsibility 4) streamlined government services 5) fiscally sound government at all levels local, county, state, & federal 6) an advocate for citizens 7) support free enterprise 8) and last but not least, YOU the taxpayers protected from Tax raises, whether income, gasoline, sales, property, etc.

No, Never.

No, Never.

Strongly Disagree

The Supreme Court needs to be limited to ruling on matters of law and stop engaging in Judicial activism, this is legislating from the bench. In the words from Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 20 December 1787, " I own I am not a friend to a very energetic government. It is always oppressive." The same results from an energetic supreme Court, we must rein it in!

Strongly Disagree

I support the POLICE and local Law Enforcement. I support adequate funding and protections for our Law Enforcement Officers. It is insanity to defund the POLICE. Which is the Democrat, leftist policy.

I firmly support & defend the 2nd Amendment against federal, state & local efforts to infringe upon it. The right to bear arms as unequivocally stated in the Bill of Rights: "A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." The 2nd Amendment protects the 1st Amendment and all other Rights of Americans. A well-armed & regular citizenry has proven time again to reduce crime & violence.
