QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
I am pro-life and support legislation that protects unborn children.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
The tax code needs to be streamlined and simplified, and we need to continue to work vigorously to reduce the burden on taxpayers. We should close the loopholes that do not make sense.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
There are numerous redundancies in government agencies which need to be exposed and removed. At the SC State level, we have run a surplus many years, but I would still work to reduce redundancies and inefficiencies in various departments and agencies.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
Under no circumstances should government be able to close churches. Freedom of Worship is one of our most precious freedoms guaranteed by the Bill of 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)Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded.
C - We need to reform Healthcare by addressing skyrocketing costs with a number of known policies to create better price competition. This would protect Medicare and Medicaid for generations to come. As it is, both are in grave danger because of lack of long-term planning.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Did not answer
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?

Strongly Disagree

The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
