QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Abortion is the murder of innocent life and must not be tolerated

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive 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

What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?

Real tax cuts are necessary to stimulate the economy. Tax shifting just hides tax hikes.

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

Waste, fraud, and abuse occur in our state government at many levels. We need to audit these areas of state government.

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Strongly Disagree


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?

Absolutely unconstitutional for government to close churches.


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)Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded.

I am absolutely opposed to expanding government run Healthcare. Free market incentives need to be added to our system.

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

Under no circumstances should government be permitted to require vaccinations


NATIONAL SECURITY

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

A clear communication through our words and actions must show that Islamic Terrorism will not be tolerated under any circumstances. We can only have peace through strength

I support the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement to pressure Israel to withdraw from occupied territories, remove the separation barrier in the West Bank, allow full equality for Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel, and promote the rights of Palestinian refugees.

Strongly Disagree


IMMIGRATION

The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.

Strongly Agree

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

Only those immigrants who come by legal means.


EDUCATION

I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.

Strongly Agree


VALUES

Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.

Strongly Agree

I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.

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

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

Strongly Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I believe that Jesus Christ is the one true God who came to Earth, to die on the cross and pay for our sin. He was resurrected to defeat death, hell and the grave and returned to the right hand of the father. Our salvation comes from this act of mercy by God


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?

We need a total forensic audit of the 2020 election. Early and absentee votes must be counted and immediately reported just before the polls close on election day. Photographic Voter ID must be presented to vote.


EQUALITY

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

The radical left is desperate to make racism a threat to security in the United States.

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

Strongly Disagree


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Which comes closest to your view? A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost.

A

I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.

Strongly Agree


ABOUT YOU

What do you think is the general purpose of government?

To protect the Freedom of its citizens.

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

No

What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?

It's time to end all shutdowns, lockdowns, mask mandates and all mandatory vaccinations. These policies are entirely unconstitutional.


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.

Disagree

I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.

Strongly Disagree


2ND AMENDMENT

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