QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Unless to preserve the mother's life, no abortion should be allowed.

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?

Our freedom of speech and freedom to practice our faith is among the most critical and should never be restricted.


NATIONAL SECURITY

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

Did not answer

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.

We need to repeal Obamacare and continue working hard to organically reduce the cost of healthcare.

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

I am 100% against government, schools or employers requiring the COVID-19 vaccination.


ECONOMY

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

Many changes need to be made to simplify the tax code.

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

I would focus on reducing waste, fraud and abuse at all levels of spending to not only balance the budget but to give our taxpayers their money back.

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Strongly Disagree


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?

I'm in full support of legal and responsible immigration and will stand strong against illegal immigration.


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?

I will always stand strong for our second amendment right to keep and bear arms.

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?

The proper role of government is to protect our people's life, liberty, and property.

VALUES

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

I have and will continue to support all bills that lead to greater protections against voter fraud.


EQUALITY

There is never a place for racism in the United States. All God's people should be treated with respect.

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