QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
The only exception to abortions should be when the mother's life is at stake/ in jeopardy.
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.
Choose not to answer
Chemical abortion drugs should be illegal as their sole intention is to end the life of an unborn baby.
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
ECONOMY
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?
It is not the proper role of government to interfere with private business decisions, as what to pay their employees.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
The Government should never close churches or coerce/influence a church to do so.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
It is not the proper role of government to compel its citizens to act in a way that is contrary to their deeply held religious beliefs or in violation of their First Amendment.
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) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.
C) 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?
Gov't, public schools, or employers should not mandate vaccinations under any circumstances, as it infringes on personal freedom and bodily autonomy. The decision be made by individuals and their families, not dictated by government institutions.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
The United States' relationship with Israel is a cornerstone of our foreign policy in the Middle East. Israel is a strategic ally, sharing our values of democracy and freedom. Our strong partnership enhances regional stability, promotes economic cooperation, and fosters innovation. Continued U.S. support for Israel is essential for maintaining peace and security in the region.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
EDUCATION
The state should fund education by allowing dollars to follow the child through programs which protect parents' freedom to choose their child's school – public, private, or homeschool.
Strongly Agree
VALUES
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
I authored Senate Bill 14 during the 88th Regular Session that banned gender transitioning procedures on minors.
Parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.
Neutral
Parents should have the primary right to make decisions for their minor children, with the exception of situations where the child's safety or well-being is at risk. This includes instances where medically unnecessary or irreversible procedures, such as gender modifications, are being considered.
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Strongly Disagree
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Strongly Agree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
As a devout Christian, I believe God is the ultimate source of authority and morality. His Word guides my values, purpose, and decisions in all aspects of life.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.
Strongly Disagree
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
I believe racism in the form of DEI, affirmative action or demographic quotas for universities or corporations could pose a significant threat to our domestic security, by encouraging preference of race or identity and not merit-based.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
Biological males should not be allowed to participate in women's sports or occupy biological women's spaces whether it be bathrooms, locker rooms, sorority houses, women's shelters, or prison.

Which comes closest to your view? (Select all that apply) A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost. C) Stricter environmental laws undermine U.S. energy independence and deter development of reliable electricity sources. D) Climate change is real and requires urgent policy action.
A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. C) Stricter environmental laws undermine U.S. energy independence and deter development of reliable electricity sources.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
While wind and solar offer renewable energy potential, Texas requires dispatchable energy sources to ensure reliable electricity supply, especially during periods of low wind and solar output.
