QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.

Strongly Agree

The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.

Strongly Agree

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

I do not support elective abortions. It is a non-medical choice, akin to birth control, that destroys life.

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

Strongly Disagree

The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.

Strongly Agree


ECONOMY

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

Strongly Agree

People who can afford to pay more taxes should do so in order to provide relief for working families.

Disagree

Taxes are appropriate now

The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.

Strongly Agree

List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.

We must eliminate unnecessary programs, reduce administrative bloat, reduce the cost of services the government pays for by enhancing market competition, and restrict overbilling by health insurance companies to cover the cost of care for Medicare and Medicaid patients.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Strongly Disagree

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

Our nation was founded on Judeo-Christian principles. However, we do not endorse a state-sponsored religion and protect freedom of worship.


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 - Government-sponsored healthcare is necessary to care for the elderly and those in need. However, market competition is critical to apply downward pressure on the rising cost of care. However, we must rein in health insurance companies that put profits before patients and contribute to the crisis of diminishing access to affordable, high-quality care in America.

The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.

Strongly Disagree

While data privacy is vitally important in our free society, some anonymous documentation of medical illnesses is necessary to direct appropriate resources towards research and development of lifesaving treatments.


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.

C - The United States is a force for good in the world and must remain so. However, we must put the American people first and sustain our position as a global power. To do this, we must engage only when necessary to the safety and prosperity of our nation in foreign conflicts.

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?

Israel is our greatest ally in the Middle East, and America stands with the nation in its righteous fight to defend itself against threats to its existence.

Islamic terrorism is a threat to the United States' national security.

Strongly Agree


IMMIGRATION

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

We must put the needs and interests of the American people first. This means maintaining an immigration system that benefits our economy and the security of our communities.

I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.

Strongly Disagree


EDUCATION

I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.

Strongly Agree

Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.

Strongly Agree

We cannot allow malicious foreign actors to corrupt American institutions. For example, we must continue to crack down on China's efforts to undermine our security through higher education.


VALUES

Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.

Strongly Agree

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 devout Catholic, and my faith in Jesus Christ is of the greatest importance in my life.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

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


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

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

America possesses immense natural resources that enable us to produce cheap, reliable, and clean energy. Using these resources as well as innovative technologies, like nuclear energy, gives us a competitive advantage and enhances our security.


ABOUT YOU

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

No

Have you ever been convicted of a felony? 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?

Conservative


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.

Strongly Agree


2ND AMENDMENT

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

I swore an oath to defend the Constitution, and I will always support the rights of law-abiding Americans to keep and bear arms. I do not support the expansion of restrictions on gun ownership.
