QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
After a heartbeat is detected, only to save the Mother's life.
ECONOMY
Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.
Strongly 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?
Any change in the tax code must be made to benefit the creation of jobs and people's income, which translates into lower taxes for corporations and individuals.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
Strongly Agree
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
What should be the relationship between the church and the state?
Separation of Church and State would be ideal.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
only in extreme cases of lethal contagious diseases.
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.
Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. However, Federal legislation should be passed allowing fair competition among health insurance carriers in all states.
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.
B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. However, all current grants should be carefully examined to prevent waste of Federal resources, which is a common denominator among now existing programs.
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.
Disagree
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
We should continue to fight Islamic terrorism, but today is more imminent and concerning the advance of communism and the implantation of radical communist dictatorships in Latin America. We have failed in our geopolitics towards Latin America, as a result of this, not only has Latin America become dominated by communists, but also has become an immigration nightmare for our country. Our country is being infiltrated through the southern border by intelligence agents disguised as political refugees and the vetting process at the border is inefficient, or null.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Agree
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.
Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Only people that come to contribute to our society and under a very strict vetting process which is not being used today.
VALUES
Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a practicing catholic who adheres to the Christian values represented by the catholic religion, and I was raised in a catholic family.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
I would propose legislation passing the power to control elections to the states, but requiring, at the state level, every voter to have and present a voter ID at the time of voting. Additionally, I would I will allocate federal funds to the use of blockchain technology to suppress voting fraud, and it will impose severe federal penalties for ballot harvesting.
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Disagree
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
No. We, as a country, have advanced enough in securing the rights of every citizen in this country to be free from discrimination. Racism is a divisive tool being used by the extreme left to divide us as a country. Communist infiltration from Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, and other countries in the region is truly dangerous to our national security; however, we are failing to identify this problem.
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.
A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Strongly Agree
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Disagree
