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

The government should never subsidize the murder of innocent children.

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Only in the specific instance when a pregnancy will permanently harm or kill the mother

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


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

We are a Christian settled nation - but we do not have a national state religion. We are free to worship as we see fit without government influence or mandates.

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

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?

Incredibly so. The Unites States must support Israel not only from a moral stance to preserve their freedom to live and worship, but as the lone democracy in the region it is in our interests to maintain strong support.


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.

I favor option D - but I don’t think that is a realistic achievement. I can live with option C

The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.

Strongly Disagree


ECONOMY

What is your position on the minimum wage?

I am opposed to the minimum wage and any subsequent increases.

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.

Eliminate as many unnecessary social programs as possible. Return 100% of turnpike tolls go solely to the Turnpike. Reduce the size of the legislature as well as sponsor term limits.


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


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?

To deter crime through tangible and substantive penalties that are enforced without bias.

Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.

Agree

The first line of defense are parents who are engaged in educating and protecting their children.

Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.

Strongly Agree

This is a Christian nation. The United States through our laws and moral code is not compatible with Islam.


2ND AMENDMENT

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

I oppose any intrusions or weakening of the 2nd Amendment. I enjoy a 100% rating from the Gun Owners of America.


ABOUT YOU

When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and religious liberty, which of the following best describes you overall?

Very Conservative

Proudly, deeply conservative.

Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.

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

Moreover, any Doctor who believes a man can become a woman, or a woman can become a man and who would sterilize children - should have their license revoked.

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.

Lifelong Catholic. I was an alter boy in my youth. My children attended Catholic School. The values I learned through my youth guide me today.

EQUALITY

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

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


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.

Strongly Disagree

Coal and nuclear for the foreseeable future, possibly solar in years to come if that technology becomes more efficient and cost effective.
