QUESTIONNAIRE*

*Additional information was received after the evaluation was assigned and was not considered in the Panel Evaluations, therefore it is for additional educational purposes only.
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.

Strongly Agree

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

To save mother’s life or if baby is no longer viable.

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?

This issue mist returned to the states, where it rightfully belongs. While the federal government should require exemptions for states that do not explicitly address abortions in cases of rape, incest, maternal health risks, non-viable fetuses.


ECONOMY

What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?

Lets make it simpler and more impactful, we need lower taxes for individuals and businesses, halt financial aid to Ukraine, and cease funding for refugees entering through our southern border.

Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.

Strongly Agree

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?

Avoiding government actions that enforce a specific religion is important for ensuring religious freedom and neutrality.

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?

Absolutely NO government imposition of religion should occur, especially since this is a matter best handled at the local level rather than by federal mandates.

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 choose. C. Those who opt for government healthcare should bear the responsibility of funding it through taxes, rather than burdening individuals who prefer private insurance.


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.

I choose C

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 is important. We've got to stand by Israel, plain and simple. We promised, and we need to keep that commitment strong.

What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?

Well…It seems like today's generation isn't learning enough about patriotism and love for our country. And wars like the one in Ukraine just don't make sense. We need to go back to the founding principles that made America Great and Strong.


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?

We should welcome those who want to assimilate into our way of life, respect our laws, and be part of this country we love. America.


EDUCATION

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

Strongly Agree

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

Strongly Agree


VALUES

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

Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.

Strongly Agree

Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.

Strongly Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

Christians values, respecting the others religions and beliefs


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

The Electoral College should be abolished.

Strongly Disagree


EQUALITY

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

Strongly Disagree

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

Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.

Strongly Disagree

The idea of climate change is a hoax pushed by the global elites to promote their Agenda 2030. It's utterly ridiculous. We must stop it!

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

Fossil fuels! but we need to think to be open to nuclear, hydro as well as renewables. Drill baby drill!!!
