OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.

Strongly Agree

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds or grants from federal, state, or local governments.

Strongly Agree

I support the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which requires health care providers to provide life-saving treatment for infants who survive an attempted abortion.

Strongly Agree

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

I firmly believe that life begins at conception, and I will continue to stand up for the unborn. I maintain long-standing prohibitions on taxpayer funding for abortion, and end taxpayer funding for to Planned Parenthood.


ECONOMY

It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.

Did not answer

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

Did not answer

How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?

Did not answer

What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?

Creating a brighter future also means taking action so that our children and grandchildren aren’t saddled with crushing federal debt. I served on the Committee on the Budget in the 115th Congress and led the fight to rein in the federal government’s out of control spending. I believes it is morally wrong to leave behind a crushing debt for future generations, and remain committed to reforming the real driver of our debt and deficit: mandatory spending.

Under what circumstances should taxpayers help pay off existing student loans?

Did not answer


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Governments should not discriminate against individuals, organizations or small businesses because of their belief that marriage is only a union of one man and one woman.

Did not answer

Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.

Did not answer

I promise to protect the freedom of Christians to share the Gospel and to practice Biblical principles.

Did not answer

HEALTHCARE

It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.

Did not answer

I support the elimination of private healthcare insurance.

Did not answer

How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?

As a dentist for 25 years, I understands the importance of reducing health care costs and increasing access to care. Our current healthcare system is deeply flawed, forcing folks into insurance plans that don’t fit their needs and away from doctors they trust. As a medical practitioner, I wants what is best for patients, and am committed to repealing the Affordable Care Act and supporting health care reform that will decrease costs, increase access to care, and put patients first.


NATIONAL SECURITY

The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.

Did not answer

What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of radical Islamic terrorism?

Providing for our national defense is the most important job entrusted to the Federal Government. That means ensuring that the brave men and women who defend our freedoms have the resources they need to combat 21st century threats around the globe.


IMMIGRATION

I am in favor of construction of a wall and other necessary infrastructure on our border that gives complete control over entering and exiting the United States.

Employers should be required to use E-verify to confirm the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States.

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

Did not answer

I am a steadfast advocate for protecting Americans’ Second Amendment freedom.


OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES

Did not answer

I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.

Did not answer

Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.

Did not answer

The Electoral College should be abolished.

Did not answer

In priority order, what three areas of legislation do you propose to author or sponsor if elected?

Rural broadband; Folks living across rural America should have every opportunity to succeed as their fellow citizens in the United States’ largest cities. Broadband is essential 21st century infrastructure, but many rural communities do not have access to this critical tool and the educational and economic opportunities it provides. Drew is fighting to ensure folks across Georgia’s Third District have access to broadband, regardless of where they live, so they can compete in the global marketplace.
