QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Never. Doctors should try to always save all life, including the baby and the mother.

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


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?

Never


NATIONAL SECURITY

What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?

Close our borders. Strengthen our military. Strengthen our police. Punish law breakers to make an example out of them.

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.

Strongly Disagree


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)Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded.

C

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

Never


ECONOMY

What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?

We need to eliminate property taxes and income taxes. If that can't be accomplished, at least lower them as much as possible. They are immoral.

What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?

Arizona has a balanced budget and a surplus. However, I would still cut wasteful spending that gives cash to administrators instead of students. I would cut bloated government agencies and positions.

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Strongly Disagree

Parents should choose what they want to do and we need to get the government out of education as much as possible.


IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Agree

We need an immigration moratorium, a 30-foot high southern border wall and we need to deport illegals.

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

Currently, we need an immigration moratorium so that we can figure out what is going on. Maybe later, we can allow legal qualified immigrants here who are highly skilled and show loyalty to the United States.


EDUCATION

I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.

Strongly Agree


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.

Strongly Disagree


2ND AMENDMENT

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

Shall not be infringed

Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.

Strongly Disagree


ABOUT YOU

What do you think is the general purpose of government?

To work FOR the people.

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

Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).

Twitter.com/WendyRogersAZ

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

No

What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?

Restore election integrity Build the wall End medical tyranny Support military veterans Reduce taxes


VALUES

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

Strongly Agree

I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.

Strongly Disagree

There are only two genders.

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

God knows what He is doing. I support His way.

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

Strongly Disagree

This is propaganda to hurt our institutions and our culture designed to divide us. We are the greatest nation on God's green earth and united we stand.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

Evangelical Christian


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?

We need one day, paper only, in-person voting, precinct tabulation, no machines.


EQUALITY

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

No

Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.

Strongly Disagree


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

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

I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.

Strongly Agree
