OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

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

Agree

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

Disagree

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

If the Mother's life is in danger.


ECONOMY

Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.

Disagree

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

Strongly Agree

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

The US tax code must be simplified. The US Constitution when printed in book form is around 50 pages. The US tax code when printed out would be around 7,000 pages. A 7,000 page tax code makes it near impossible for honest Americans to understand the law and easier for dishonest Americans to abuse the system.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

Agree

I am blessed to live on Devon Street in West Ridge Chicago, a shining model for religious liberty and peace. However, I do not take for granted how quickly a population can turn against any religion. I am Jewish and can not think of a single religion that was not banished, banned, or murdered at some point in history. The ability to think or pray freely deserves the highest protection in the law (The First Amendment).

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

Disagree

What should be the relationship between the church and the state?

Did not answer


HEALTHCARE

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

If Bill Gates and pharmaceutical companies say so.

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.

You shouldn't have to take a loan to go to the ER. There are grave problems in every facet of the American Healthcare system. My view is that there is no incentive in America to be healthy and it's too expensive to be sick.


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.

Did not answer

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.

Did not answer

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.

Did not answer

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

Did not answer


IMMIGRATION

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

Did not answer

State and federal funds shall be denied to any public or private entity, such as a sanctuary city, that is not in compliance with immigration laws.

Did not answer

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

Did not answer


VALUES

Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.

Did not answer

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

Did not answer

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

Did not answer


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Disagree

I used to sneak into rated R movies as a kid. I also did same day registration in Chicago without showing much proof (in 2018). Why is it harder to see wedding crashers than it is to vote?

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?

Did not answer


EQUALITY

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

Disagree

Race is too complicated for reparations. For example, if your father's family were plantation owners in Jamaica and immigrated to united states in the 1960's.... you would qualify for slavery reparations on basis of race. Kamala Harris should not qualify for reparations.

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

Saying racism is the biggest threat to domestic secuirty, is simply a way for federal agents to justify more domestic spying and civil liberty abuses.


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

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

Agree

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.

Did not answer

Did not answer

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

Did not answer

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

Did not answer


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

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

Did not answer

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

Did not answer


2ND AMENDMENT

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

Did not answer

Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
