OTHER INFORMATION
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?
I have been a pro-life supporter and I am married to a very devout pro-life activist. My first race for congress was back in 1984. I was pro-life then and in all my other attempts at public office,I have not changed my position that abortion is only justified when necessary to save the life of the mother, especially if the mother has other children. My personal opinion of the Roe vs Wade decision is that it was Supreme Court sanctioned murder. Hence I advocate term limits on all federal judges rather than a Constitutional Amendment that would take many years to pass.
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?
Did not answer
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Did not answer
Under what circumstances should taxpayers help pay off existing student loans?
Did not answer
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?
Did not answer
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?
Did not answer
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?
The U.S. should get out of the Middle East. I agree with Pat Buchanan that our congress is too subservient to the Israeli Lobby. In fact,they have been directing us into one war after another in that part of the world. Now their target is Iran. And a war with Iran could be a bigger blood bath than Viet Nam was. However our congress and our president are apparently willing to risk our countries survival just to preserve Israel.And I do not think Israel is worth one more American life.
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?
Did not answer
EDUCATION
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Strongly Agree
I support adding sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression as protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Did not answer

I am a Christian by my upbringing. My mother was a Sunday School teacher at the Four Square Church in Beloit,Wisconsin. My father was a Baptist. And I have been married for 37 years to a very religious,old fashioned Latin Mass Catholic.
