OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
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.
Agree
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
States decide
Does the federal government have a role to play in limiting abortion, and if so what federal steps and/or federal legislation would you support?
No
ECONOMY
What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?
Radically reduce spending and taxes
Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.
Strongly Agree
I'm big on personal responsibility.
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
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
Government will not establish a religion,
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
None
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.
D
NATIONAL SECURITY
With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened. B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger. D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.
D
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?
Yes, it's our canary in the Middle East coal mine
What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?
Woke policies
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Build the wall and patrol it ruthlessly.
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
First deport all who are here illegally before this matter can be addressed in your context. Start by purging all Social Security no match numbers while simultaneously implementing E-verify as the law of the land and cutting off all government assistance including that which flows through NGOs. Then we can start on your premise. First deport them all.

I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
Without qualification.
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.

Strongly Agree
Another no brainer
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.

The concept of climate change is a political action.
