OTHER INFORMATION

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?

When the mother's life is at risk and she, along with her family, has made this decision with all the necessary information.

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?

Free market

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.

Reduce spending by establishing a topic expenditure limit. Require all requests to show performance measures/outcomes. Implement performance payments that allow money to be disbursed only if progress is made on established measurable outcomes. Track results and fully vet outcomes on a per-unit basis (meaning: analysis of expenditures per person to determine return on public investment). Implement audit best practices, whether from Legislative Post Audit or the Inspect General, when identified.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

It means the State does not dictate to people what religion is required or what types of religions and associations can be established. It does not mean elected officials must abandon their faith upon taking office. Religion will always inform a person and society as a whole.

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

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.

c -- Covering the frail, the elderly/seniors, the disabled/sick, and children without family income should remain.

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. Israel provides a strategic location for military surveillance, technological advancement, and necessary operations/positioning to keep America safe amid a hotbed of terrorism. In addition, Israel provides a great deal of medical and military technological advantages to America, and most of America's investment in Israel, a tiny country with a minority population, comes back in the form of military defense jobs that benefit our Nation's economy and security.


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.

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

Strongly Agree

I support the expansion of gambling in my state.

Disagree

I am a believer in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I believe we are all fallen and in need of a Savior. My faith is my north star.
