OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.
Disagree
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds or grants from federal, state, or local governments.
Disagree
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.
Disagree
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
If a woman's life would be endangered, however a woman has a right to choose what is done to her own body and no government should tell her what to do with her body.
ECONOMY
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.
Agree
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Disagree
How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?
We need to tax the top 1% who recently have had huge tax breaks. We also need to extend the amount of wage base that contributes to social security. $126,000 should not be the cap. In fact, all income wages should contribute to social security.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
I would immediately eliminate subsidies for profit making companies, like oil and gas companies. I would stop the pork fat in politics and stop funding for groups and allocations that are not in the best interest for the American people.
Under what circumstances should taxpayers help pay off existing student loans?
I support 0% interest loans and would advocate for payoff special programs that would make their loans – affordable.
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.
Disagree
I promise to protect the freedom of Christians to share the Gospel and to practice Biblical principles.
No Answer
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
You can practice your religious views, but not when it comes to business practices and/or employees or if it conflicts with our constitution.
HEALTHCARE
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.
Agree
I support the elimination of private healthcare insurance.
Disagree
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
I support fixing the issues with the Affordable Care Act and work towards a Universal Health Care solution that may or may not include private insurance. It is a human right to have access to affordable health care.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.
Disagree
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of radical Islamic terrorism?
Support our intelligence community and act accordingly when a threat is eminent.
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.
Disagree
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) should be abolished.
Agree
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.
Disagree
Employers should be required to use E-verify to confirm the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States.
Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
DACA recipients need to be given their citizenship. We need to allocate more monies to expedite our asylum process. We should NEVER separate families.

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.

Yes. Black live matter. We need to address solutions and support community involvement programs with our police departments. We need to educate against racism . I will fight against racial injustice and seek equality of all people.
