VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Strongly Agree
I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.
Neutral
Any gender identity laws that interfere with the rights of others is not acceptable.
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 agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe in God. I am a Christen and believe in strong Judeo-Christian values.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Only legal citizens can register to vote. Photo Identification should be required to vote. Mail in ballot process needs to be improved to prevent ballot harvesting and our voter integrity laws need to be strengthened.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Racism on its own is not a threat to our security. The use of racism to divide people or to promote an issue is a threat to the security of the United States. Unfortunately, racism has not yet been eradicated and as Martin Luther King Jr. stated, "we must continue to remove it from our society".
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree

A, Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy.
