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.
Strongly Agree
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Health to the mother and within the first trimester for instances of rape and incest.
ECONOMY
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.
Disagree
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?
Partial privatization. Mandate that part of the social security tax that is paid to the government be diverted to a retirement account of the individual persons choice. That will ensure the government cannot take the money and redirect it for other uses.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Waste that is identified by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), a non-partisan, government study organization, that identifies billions of dollars in waste each budget cycle.
Under what circumstances should taxpayers help pay off existing student loans?
Individuals who join the military, those who take part in service like the AmeriCorps Vista Program, or other public service jobs that are low-income.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Governments should not discriminate against individuals, organizations or small businesses because of their belief that marriage is only a union of one man and one woman.

Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.

HEALTHCARE
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.
Disagree
I support the elimination of private healthcare insurance.
Strongly Disagree
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
Inject free market principles into the system, allow the purchase of insurance across state lines. Create an America First Drug Pricing Policy that would require American Pharmaceutical companies that make their drugs in America to offer best pricing to Americans rather than Canadians.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.
Strongly Agree
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of radical Islamic terrorism?
Secure our border, invest in our intelligence services, continue to work with allies like Israel, and expand resources to homeland security.
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.
Strongly Agree
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) should be abolished.

Employers should be required to use E-verify to confirm the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States.
Strongly Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
People who will be able to contribute to the American way of life. Priority should be given to individuals with skills beneficial to the U.S. and immediate family members of U.S. Citizens.
EDUCATION
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Disagree
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
