QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree

Strongly Agree

Strongly Disagree
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Science has proven that human life begins at conception, that an unborn child is not "a part" of a woman's body but rather it's own independent being, that each child will have it's own unique set of DNA and fingerprints that will never be replicated in human history. This is why I am pro-life without exception and why we must work to end the barbaric practice of abortion in America.

Strongly Agree
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
Strongly Agree
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
What should be the relationship between the church and the state?
The United States was founded on Judeo-Christian values and you cannot "separate" these principles from our Constitution and way of life. That being said, our government should play no role in managing, regulating or establishing churches or religious institutions as this will directly threaten the religious liberty of the people.

With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened.

C.) We need to put the American people first. That means staying out of foreign conflicts unless absolutely necessary and focusing our resources here at home.

HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Zero. Medical freedom is a God-given right and no attempts to strip individuals of personal healthcare decisions for themselves or their children can be allowed in a free society. If you cannot decide what is injected into your own body, you have no rights at all. We need to create a society in which we give individuals and families the ability to make prudential medical decisions that are in their own best interest.

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.) Healthcare is the most heavily regulated industry in The United States and as a result has skyrocketed in cost more than any other industry. Our goal should be to deregulate and increase options for patients that will drive down insurance costs and premiums. We must also implement further price transparency laws and right-to-try legislation that empowers the consumer.

State and federal funds shall be denied to any public or private entity, such as a sanctuary city, that is not in compliance with immigration laws.
Strongly Agree

Strongly Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
America is a generous nation, but we must put our own people first. Both massive legal and illegal immigration has dragged down the wages of American workers, drained our resources here at home and made it impossible to retain a cohesive culture. We must have a zero tolerance policy for illegal immigration and sharply decrease the amount of legal immigrants we allow each year. Immigrants coming to America must be accepted on a merit based process and must be willing to learn or already speak English. A net-zero immigration policy will ensure we can rebuild our economy and culture while still accepting immigrants who will make immediate contributions to our great nation.

I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.

Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Nationwide mandatory photo voter ID, banning of unsolicited mail in voting, criminalize ballot harvesting and narrowing the window of early voting. None of these measures will stop a single person from casting a legal ballot and will ensure free & fair elections in America.

Strongly Disagree

Strongly Disagree
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Racism exists. It always has and, unfortunately, always will. That being said, there is no real world increase in race related crimes or incidents. The ghost of racism is primarily used by those in the Democrat party to sow division among the people. That is the real threat.

Which comes closest to your view? A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost.
A.) We should always work to protect the environment and our resources while ensuring the American people have access to the most efficient and affordable forms of energy.

Energy independence is essential for working Americans and our national security.
