QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.
Strongly Agree
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds or grants from federal, state, or local governments.
Strongly Agree
I support the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which requires health care providers to provide life-saving treatment for infants who survive an attempted abortion.
Strongly Agree
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Only in the event that the life of the mother is at risk. If the doctor's have tried all possible remedies.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Governments should not discriminate against individuals, organizations or small businesses because of their belief that marriage is only a union of one man and one woman.
Strongly Agree
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
Strongly Agree
I promise to protect the freedom of Christians to share the Gospel and to practice Biblical principles.
Yes
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
I believe that religious freedom is one of the cornerstones of our country. The government should not be imposing things that go counter to the beliefs of any religion.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.
Strongly Agree
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of radical Islamic terrorism?
In order t help eradicate the threat of Islamic Islam we can't placate murderous regimes. We can't keep providing funding to countries that want nothing to do with us other than to see our destruction. That would be a good stating point.
HEALTHCARE
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.
Strongly Disagree
I support the elimination of private healthcare insurance.
Strongly Disagree
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
I believe it first starts with allowing true competition in this space. Without that then you will never get prices driven down because of the lack of competition across state lines as well as in general.
ECONOMY
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.
Strongly Disagree
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?
There needs to actually be discussions around possibly raising the age that you will be able to tap into the money. There is a real concern that at the rate we are going.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
There are various duplicate programs that need to be eliminated. I also would say that every agency should not be able to arbitrarily request a funding increase without providing tangible facts as to why they need more funding.
Under what circumstances should taxpayers help pay off existing student loans?
None
IMMIGRATION
I am in favor of construction of a wall and other necessary infrastructure on our border that gives complete control over entering and exiting the United States.
Strongly Agree
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) should be abolished.
Strongly Disagree
State and federal funds should be denied to any public or private entity, including but not limited to sanctuary cities, that are not in compliance with immigration laws.
Strongly Agree
Employers should be required to use E-verify to confirm the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States.
Strongly Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
I believe that we should move to a merit based system of immigration. that way we can ensure those coming to our country do not become a draw on our resources that have been set aside for citizens.
EDUCATION
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Disagree
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Mandatory minimum sentencing should be required and enforced for violent crimes.
Strongly Agree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
I do not think we should be continually adding more restrictions to gun ownership. The second amendment is not to be infringed upon.
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
I support BDS (boycott, divestment, and sanction) against Israel if they refuse to allow the creation of a Palestinian state.
Strongly Disagree
I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.
Strongly Disagree
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
The Electoral College should be abolished.
Strongly Disagree
In priority order, what three areas of legislation do you propose to author or sponsor if elected?
Eliminate Digital Fraud With the way technology is changing and progressing faster than ever, cyber security is a huge necessity in today’s society. Jeff Dove will protect our safety by compelling the Social Security Administration to add multi-factor authentication to every interaction where someone must present a Social Security number. Election Security Jeff Dove is protecting the democracy of our country by ensuring that our elections are safe and secure. Once Social Security numbers have multiple added layers of security, every citizen should be required to send a picture that can be displayed on the card at no extra cost to the taxpayer. Level the College Admissions Process Every student deserves a fair chance to receive a quality education. Jeff Dove will push for academic institutions that accept federal funding to move to a system of blind admissions. That way, students are accepted to a university or institution based solely on merit.
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
It can be a threat when extremist groups feel emboldened to act upon their beliefs. If any group tries to target another for race they should be dealt with accordingly.
