QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Only to prevent the death of the mother or in case of a medical emergency with possible exceptions for rape or incest reported to the appropriate authories.

“Women’s Right to Know” informed consent materials must include information about Abortion Pill Reversal.

Strongly Agree

I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.

Strongly Disagree

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

Strongly Agree


ECONOMY

Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?

No

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

Strongly Agree


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Strongly Disagree

Under what circumstances can government close churches?

None. What happened during the pandemic was unacceptable.


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

Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?

Under no circumstance should it be required. We should educate people on the positive and negative effects of vaccines and let them make informed decisions.


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?

It is very important. Israel is a vital ally and we need them to have a strong economy. They are very intertwined in our economy and we must stand by their side and support them.


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

Parents have the right to make decisions for their minor children.

Strongly Agree

Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.

Strongly Disagree


iVoterGuide Notes:

Candidate notified iVoterGuide that the intended answer to this question should have been ‘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.

I am a Catholic and believe that religion should be a fundamental part of the family unit. My wife and I attend church regularly and believe in the Lord. A strong religious background provides good values and guides my decision-making as a State Senator.


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

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.

Strongly Agree

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?

I believe we need to further educate ourselves about the impacts of racism in America and our history. I am particularly worried about the current issue of what some people call "reverse racism," and I think it could pose a real threat to our society. We mustn't try to ignore our history and instead teach it to our children.

I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.

Strongly Disagree


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

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- On his first day, Joe Biden cancelled the Keystone Pipeline, which is causing higher gas prices and leading to the loss of well-paying American jobs. We should focus on producing our natural resources domestically, which will strengthen our homeland security.

What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?

Nuclear Energy


ABOUT YOU

What do you think is the general purpose of government?

Government should be limited. This is why I believe that a smaller, smarter state government is important. It should provide justice, safety, infrastructure, economic stability, and limited public services. The government should never compete with private businesses.

Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.

No

Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.

No

When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and religious liberty, which of the following best describes you overall?

Very Conservative


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.

Strongly Disagree


2ND AMENDMENT

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

The current restrictions in place are effective. For instance, individuals who are felons and possess firearms while committing a crime should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Criminals are not going to follow our laws, so why impose unnecessary burdens on law-abiding citizens?

Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?

Yes

With the proper training by law enforcement and approved by school boards.
