None. In rare instances: If a mother's life is in danger based on a doctor's assessment. A mother and doctor should be able to make the medical decisions to save her life. Such actions may result in the death of the child, though such circumstances are rare.

Strongly Agree

There are many people, such as myself, who don't believe in abortion. No such individual or organization should have their tax dollars publicly support something they are against personally.

Strongly Disagree

Taxes should be reduced for citizens. Additionally, once a person has the deed to their homes, property taxes should cease. Finally, a simple, transparent flatter tax, which is fair to all should be considered.

Spending on Illegal Immigration. It cost Americans in upwards of $365 million per day and Texas pays about $850 million per year. Government subsidies should be reviewed and some cut.

Strongly Disagree

Citizens are taxed enough already. We are not a socialist nation and such action pushes us closer to being one.

Strongly Disagree

We must uphold constitutional rights such as religious freedoms / protection, no matter how emotional people may get and desire to violate them.

None, that line should not be crossed.

C. Medicaid and Medicare should be available, but must be reformed / restructured.

None, this should be a parent or guardians decision.

As a University Instructor covering the topic of World Religions, the U.S. must educated its' citizens on Islam. Once they have a basic understanding of the religion, they can have a greater understanding of how Islamic terrorism may arise. The threat of Islamic terrorism may not, however, be totally eradicated. There will always be someone trying to make a point through terroristic threats and actions.

Strongly Disagree

I support Israel, its' right to exist, and not be faced with BDS movements unfairly.

Strongly Agree

Absolutely, it cost tax paying citizens too much in many ways not to secure our southern border.

People desiring to follow our established laws to gain entry and citizenship. Additionally, such people should not be predisposed to destroy America. Instead they should be people seeking to help our nation prosper.

Strongly Agree

America was founded on Christian beliefs. The majority of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence had seminary degrees or some religious training. It is highly likely that such foundational backgrounds influenced their decision making while shaping our government.

Strongly Disagree

Such a status is subjective and can easily be abused. As such, employers, religious entities, etc. may be unfairly targeted and treated under such laws.

Strongly Disagree

The key assumptions of which CRT is grounded on are flawed as it presupposes that everything about American society is racist and minorities will never reach equality in society until it is reformed. It also unfairly blames entire groups of people for the sins or faults of their ancestors and inevitably make such blame inescapable. This is not Christian thought, but aligns closer to communist or Marxist concepts and is destructive to our nation.

I am a Christian and follower of Jesus the Christ. The Word of God as prescribe in the Holy Bible is foundational to how I lead and live my life.

Strongly Disagree

Without an ID, you can't: buy alcohol, cigarettes, open a bank account, rent or buy a house or apply for a mortgage, drive/buy/or rent a car, get on an airplane, get married, purchase a gun, adopt a pet, buy a cell phone, get a job, etc. So, if who you vote for will regulate such laws, surely a photo ID to vote must be a priority and mandatory.

Push for and encourage all states to maintain accurate lists by matching death records, driver’s licenses, tax rolls, felon records, etc. Create a national database to ensure voters moving from state to state are not able to vote in multiple states for the same election. Recommend states require voters to use the REAL ID card, which was mandated in a law signed by the President in May 2005. Push for states to prohibit third parties or political operatives from collecting ballots—a practice commonly known as “ballot harvesting.” Tougher laws allowing for the prosecution of voter fraud must be enacted.

How do you quantify or measure racism? What's considered racist may be subjective in many instances. I do not believe America has a problem with racism which rises to the level of a threat to domestic security. Isolated instances or self-proclaimed racist should not hijack the narrative of America nor cast a shadow over the advancements the nation has made with regard to race. Further, we have the best law enforcement and intelligence agencies in the world, then surely they can and have helped stop many isolated threats which may have been grounded on racist ideology.

Disagree

Providing reparations of people in America based on race would become problematic for our nation, cause more division and a rise in racial tension. The thought of reparations may sound great, but the reality is it would be near impossible to distribute, fairly identify recipients, fund, etc. and ultimately may cause more issues than resolutions.

a) We must work with environmental organizations and promote efforts to reduce pollution in the environment while striving to access the vast resources which will benefit our economy and our energy independence.

Agree

Such methods will continue to pave the way towards our nation's energy independence, employ Texans and Americans as a whole, and help us to advance economically and other ways.

Uphold the U.S. & State Constitutions and carry of the will of the people. Oversee the powers allotted at the federal and state level.

Very Conservative

Google "Tim Westley" and you will find years of interviews online by way of articles, YouTube, etc. All of which will confirm my answers.

No.

I will fight hard for Texans and work with my team to raise the General Land Office to a greater level of excellence. I will prioritize our journey to Energy Independence, elevating Texas education system from the bottom half of the 50 states to the top 10 percent with the use of the $40+ billion in Permanent School Funds, and identify all public lands on our 1254-mile southern border and partner with other organizations to secure it. Ultimately, I will plan accordingly and ensure that when natural disasters strike Texans are served and helped immediately. Additionally, I will listen to the will of the people and work hard to serve them!

Agree

I agree that qualified immunity is need for our police officers whom I support. Removing it would make it harder for police to do their and would likely cause many officers to leave their jobs. However, we must have some standard and review of department policies which helps to ensure a decrease in any questionable practices which may lead to the need for qualified immunity.

Strongly Disagree

There is a need for increase mental health and community programs, but not at the expense of our police departments. We spend about $365 million daily on illegal immigration. Let's curb that and we will have funds for the aforementioned without weakening our police forces.

Overall, current gun ownership laws are sufficient. However, mental illness as associated with gun deaths is an issue. About two-thirds of gun deaths are due to suicide. As such, those deaths highlight the potential of mental illness being associated with such deaths, so we must address mental illness.

Strongly Disagree

These are business owners and companies who should not be punished due to the actions and choices of individuals.
