QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
We should always try to save the life of both mother and baby
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
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Strongly Agree
ECONOMY
What is your position on the minimum wage?
Businesses should always be allowed to set their own wages.
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
1. Aggressive audits with zero base budgeting and more DOGE to identify fraud waste and abuse 2. Privatization of non-core government functions 3. Consolidate or eliminate overlapping agencies, programs, regulations 4. Balance the budget with added spending caps and structural limits on growth similar to Colorado's TABOR amendment
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
The separation of church and state, though first coined by Jefferson, asserts that each individual has the right to practice their religion, or none, without interference from the government. This separation assures that religious groups and individuals retain the right to participate in public life, express beliefs without government interference.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
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) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.
Medicaid and Medicare should be available to the neediest among us, but taxpayer funded healthcare should be abolished for all others and Medicaid expansion should be gradually discontinued. People over 65 should not be forced onto Medicare if they have another source or the means to insure themselves.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Strongly Disagree
NATIONAL SECURITY
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?
Yes, the US-Israel relationship is important for American national interests. Israel is a capable democratic partner in a volatile region which shares significant intelligence, military technology, and counter terrorism cooperation with the United States. That said, like any alliance, it should be evaluated on results and mutual benefit, and it is legitimate to reevaluate policies and our scale of assistance to be sure United States priorities are in alignment and US sovereignty is protected.
IMMIGRATION
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
VALUES
Government should recognize and support the fundamental right and essential duty of parents to direct their child's health and educational well-being.
Strongly Agree
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
I support the expansion of gambling in my state.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe in the holy trinity. I believe in God the Father and His son Jesus Christ. I believe in the forgiveness of sins and that I am a sinner saved by grace alone through faith in Jesus Christ. I have been forgiven of my sins and repented of them. I believe in the doctrine of grace meaning that when we ask for forgiveness, we are a new creation, and every person has the ability to be forgiven and set free through faith in Jesus Christ. Because of this, I live a life of hope and joy and look forward to eternal life in heaven.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING

Strongly Agree
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Strongly Disagree
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Nuclear energy is the cleanest most reliable source, but natural gas is a strong second choice and we have a lot of natural gas in Ohio and the US.

The goal of the criminal justice system is to protect citizens public safety and uphold the rule of law. This is done by punishing crime appropriately with accountability, deterring wrongdoing, and removing dangerous criminals from society which help prevent harm to law-abiding citizens.
