OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.

Strongly Agree

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds or grants from federal, state, or local governments.

Strongly Agree

I support the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which requires health care providers to provide life-saving treatment for infants who survive an attempted abortion.

Never


ECONOMY

It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.

How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?

Increasing efficiency and transparency of the system.

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

Unnecessary spending. This is highlighted in various reports, including the 6 categories highlighted by the Heritage Foundation: Programs that should be devolved to state and local governments; Programs that could be better performed by the private sector; Mistargeted programs whose recipients should not be entitled to government benefits; Outdated and unnecessary programs; Duplicative programs; and Inefficiency, mismanagement, and fraud.

Under what circumstances should taxpayers help pay off existing student loans?

It is the individual's responsibility to pay off their own loans.

Yes

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

The Church and State must be separate, however, the Church needs to act as a check for the Government. The role of the Church is to provide moral guidance. "Give unto Cesar what belongs to Cesar and onto God what belongs to God"


HEALTHCARE

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

Domestically we need education, vigilance and when appropriate actions taken in a proactive manner to identify and neutralize potential threats as early as possible.


IMMIGRATION

I am in favor of construction of a wall and other necessary infrastructure on our border that gives complete control over entering and exiting the United States.
