QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
I was on the House select committee that recommended a heartbeat bill (6 weeks). I think if the mother’s life is in danger, if she has been raped or incest, and if there is medical evidence that the baby is a failed pregnancy( outside of the womb).
Chemical abortion drugs should meet essential safety standards (such as in-person consultation with a medical doctor) and require reporting to gather evidence on reactions and outcomes.
Strongly Agree
All of these details were in the Law we passed this session
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
God’s will overrules Man
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
America's Bill of Rights
What is your position on the minimum wage?
It is set to allow businesses to hire young people to gain experience and grow into good employees. Remember, it’s the minimum!
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
ESG = Socialism
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
NONE
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
We all should have the right to refuse anyone if it goes against our beliefs. Freedom
Should religious schools which accept state funds be allowed to only admit families and students who agree to adhere to their statement of faith?
Yes
Parental rights!!!
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. Obamacare is a Tax
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Proven Vaccines have been beneficial for our nation’s health. There should always be a Religious Exemption allowed.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
They are patiently waiting for us to collapse. The Biden/Harris administration has helped put their plan into overdrive.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Yes. Not only Biblically, but they are our only true ally in that region
EDUCATION
The state should fund education by allowing dollars to follow the child through programs which protect parents' freedom to choose their child's school – public, private, or homeschool.
Strongly Agree
Parental Choice is Critical
VALUES
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Strongly Disagree
Elective surgeries are choices not health care
No healthcare diagnosis or treatment, whether mental, reproductive, or otherwise, should be given to a child without first receiving written consent from the parent unless an emergency situation arises risking immediate death.
Strongly Agree
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
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.
Jesus Christ died on a Cross for my sins. It’s a debt that I could not pay. Through his death and resurrection, I have a pathway to Heaven. He is the Way and the Truth. I believe this, thus I am a child of God. The The Bible is my instruction manual and the Holy Spirt is my Guide. These are my beliefs and my values
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
Voting absentee by mail ballot should be limited to those meeting at least one of the following criteria: 1) 65 years of age or older on Election Day, 2) sick or disabled, 3) expecting to give birth within three weeks before or after Election Day, or 4) confirmed to be absent from the county of registration during voting.
Strongly Agree
Election Day 7:30, that’s IT. Law
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Maybe, if groups continue to use it as their narrative to push radical ideology on the rest of us
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
It’s a Theory and It’s wrong
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
This is why we have Women Sports to start with!!!

D) Climate change is real and requires urgent policy action.
C. Common Sense should rule
