QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.

Strongly Agree

The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.

Strongly Agree

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Did not answer

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

Choose not to answer

The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.

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

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

America was founded by deeply religious men of Faith, who intended for this country to be driven by moral virtue. The separation of Church and State is a 1-way wall, stopping the government from dictating religious principles or establishing any new religion that worships the government.


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.

The United States needs to currently prioritize an extensive and thorough investigation into policies, and actions, of how Covid-19 was handled, to accurately measure the extent of crimes committed against US Citizens, and US Guests. Additionally, complete evaluation must be done to isolate all criminals who participated in organized intimidation, violence and harassment of Government officials and policy makers between 2016 and 2024.

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, because that relationship holds a significant balance of power.

Islamic terrorism is a threat to the United States' national security.

Strongly Agree

Yes, but terrorism from atheist extremists is a faster growing and more imminent threat to address,


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.

I respectfully disagree with above options. They focus on insurance/government funding instead of fixing care delivery, prices, and bureaucracy. Instead, nationwide Direct Primary Care (DPC): Pay a low monthly fee (~$50–150) directly to your doctor for unlimited visits, and premium care, no copays or insurance hassle for routine needs. Pair with high-deductible catastrophic insurance for serious events. DPC cuts costs sharply, reduces ER/hospital use by 80-90%, and improve access. I use this.

The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.

Strongly Disagree


ECONOMY

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

Strongly Agree

People who can afford to pay more taxes should do so in order to provide relief for working families.

Strongly Disagree

The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.

Strongly Agree

List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.

Reorganize National Healthcare under the "Direct Primary Care" model Audit the Pentagon and Federal Reserve Investigate Covid-19 related crimes Strengthen government functions through economic structure


IMMIGRATION

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

People with unique skills who demonstrate an ability to contribute to our society.

I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.

Strongly Disagree


EDUCATION

I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.

Strongly Disagree

I view the pursuit of knowledge as a sacred obligation. With extensive time in school and having changed schools 10x before graduating high school, I understand the many shortcomings of the public education system. Also, over time in College, I have come to recognize the failings and degradation of our higher education in America. However, I believe strongly that quality items deserve to be fixed when they're broken, not thrown away. I believe we can fix American education.

Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.

Choose not to answer

This question isn't worded very well, there's a big difference between CHOOSING the curriculum that students are assigned, and PAYING for the materials/labor involved in education. Personally, I almost always support getting extra money whenever possible.


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.

Strongly Agree


2ND AMENDMENT

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

No restrictions on gun ownership, we need Federal Laws that prohibit gun restrictions at the State/Local level, these are unconstitutional restrictions and Congress is obligated to correct this injustice. For example, SB 243 was passed in 2025 by the Oregon Senate (and Governor), and it made thousands of Oregonians into felons overnight, with no grandfather clause. SB 243 and others like it need to be repealed.


ABOUT YOU

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

NA

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

NA

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?

Moderate


VALUES

Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.

Strongly Agree

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 grew up in the Catholic school system, and treat my education and Faith as mutual blessings. Philippians 4:13 “I can do all this through Him who gives me strength". This gives me affirmation that there is a plan, and my obligation is to meet the challenges presented by God, as they happen, and as I'm able. Ecclesiastes 3:1 “For everything there is an appointed time; …for every purpose under the Heavens.” This gives me guidance, that although sometimes events may seem disorganized or unclear, there is a plan, which is bigger than myself. Isaiah 61:1-4 “…They shall renew the wasted cities…” This provides me with reassurance, that the problems of today have been problems of the past, and as God helped solve them before, He will again help us


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

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


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

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

Nuclear power is the only realistic option, it's very efficient.
