OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

An elective abortion should not be allowed under any circumstances.

“Women’s Right to Know” informed consent materials must include information about Abortion Pill Reversal.

Strongly Agree

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

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

Strongly Agree


ECONOMY

Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?

No

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

Strongly Agree


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?

Under no circumstances should government 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) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.

C. Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary.

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

Under no circumstances.


NATIONAL SECURITY

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. U.S. support for Israel is essential to prevent further death of innocent men, women and children at the hands of terrorists. U.S. support is critical in Israel's fight for life and freedom from religious persecution.


IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Agree


EDUCATION

The state should fund education by allowing dollars to follow the child through programs which protect parents' freedom to choose their child's school – public, private, or homeschool.

Strongly Agree


VALUES

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

Strongly Agree

Parents have the right to make decisions for their minor children.

Strongly Agree

Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.

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

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a practicing catholic. I believe in defending and protecting life at all stages from the point of conception. I am a loving and devoted husband. I believe in the sanctity of marriage. In other respects, my faith is my moral compass that guides me through every decision, whether in my private life, business, or government service.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.

Strongly Disagree


EQUALITY

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

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

No. While racism exists and should be condemned, the evidence simply does not exist to justify identifying racism as a national security threat.

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

Strongly Disagree


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Which comes closest to your view? (Select all that apply) A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost. C) Stricter environmental laws undermine U.S. energy independence and deter development of reliable electricity sources. D) Climate change is real and requires urgent policy action.

A and C.

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

Coal, oil and natural gas.


ABOUT YOU

What do you think is the general purpose of government?

To provide essential services, including transportation infrastructure, public works, public safety, and national defense.

Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.

No.

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

No.

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


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.

Strongly Disagree

In fact, as Mayor of Mosinee, my primary focus in recent budgets has been increasing funding for our municipal police force to add officers.


2ND AMENDMENT

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

None. In fact, responsible, law abiding gun owners can be credited in some cases for saving lives. Further, when we look at some of the most regulated states and cities gun related violence data, we find that restrictions are clearly not the answer.

Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?

Yes
