QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

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

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

Strongly Agree


ECONOMY

Did not answer

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

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 should government close churches?

Churches should not be under the control of the government. Religious Freedom!


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 options (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 the government should reform healthcare to maximize private health insurance options; D) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.

It should be easier and more affordable for the people to obtain healthcare. Medicare and Medicaid should be available to those that are in need and that are eligible.

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

Never!


NATIONAL SECURITY

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

Tighter border security. Limit who Biden is affiliated with.


IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Agree

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

America is a country of freedom. Anyone should be welcome to immigrate but only when done legally and with sufficient background checks to ensure the safety of the country.


EDUCATION

The state should prioritize education funding by allowing dollars to follow the child instead of focusing on programs and administrators.

Disagree

Children should not receive education funding if they are not enrolled in school.

If you support giving parents more educational options, please list all of the following options that apply and in priority order: A) A universal Education Savings Account (ESA) program; B) An ESA program for low-income children only; C) Expanding tax credits for businesses to give to private schools; D) Expanding public charter schools; E) Allowing homeschoolers to take classes at the local public school.

B, C, E, D, A

What most closely matches your view on pornography? A) I agree with the American Library Association that any person of any age should have access to any book; B) Library collections, displays and events should be curated using age-appropriate guidelines, similar to what we do for movies (G, PG, R, etc.); C) Mississippi libraries should follow state laws that prevent pornography from being accessible to minors.

C


VALUES

What most closely matches your view on marriage? A) Anything goes; B) Marriage between one man and one woman should be promoted and encouraged; C) A divorce should be hard to get; D) Marriage is important, but no-fault divorce should be allowed.

B

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

Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
