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?

Never.


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.

Strongly Agree

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

Strongly Agree

I promise to protect the freedom of Christians to share the Gospel and to practice Biblical principles.

Yes

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

An opinion piece written by Benjamin Franklin.


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?

An immigration moratorium and deportations of all those associated with Islamic Terrorist groups on American Soil.


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?

Legalize Free Market Healthcare-making Healthcare available and easily accessible across state lines. Citizens should be able to purchase healthcare as easily as they do car insurance.


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.

Agree

How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?

Cutting all welfare benefits to non-working Americans, and making sure only American citizens who have paid into social security are recipients.

What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?

Foreign Aid.

Under what circumstances should taxpayers help pay off existing student loans?

I support anything that makes it easier for young Americans to get married and have children. The student loan debt crisis is a reality- our current establishment is importing cheap foreign labor by the thousands, and young college graduates are being forced to compete with foreigners (who will work way longer for way less) for jobs. As a result, young Americans are not getting married, not having children, and falling into addiction.


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.

Strongly Disagree

State and federal funds should be denied to any public or private entity, including but not limited to sanctuary cities, that are not in compliance with immigration laws.

Strongly Agree

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?

Christians under religious persecution, and migrants under a merit-based system who come here for our values and not our benefits.


EDUCATION

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Strongly Disagree


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

Mandatory minimum sentencing should be required and enforced for violent crimes.

Strongly Agree


2ND AMENDMENT

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

Any Restrictions on gun ownership are an infringement of our Second Amendment rights.


OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES

I support BDS (boycott, divestment, and sanction) against Israel if they refuse to allow the creation of a Palestinian state.

Neutral

I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.

Neutral

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

Strongly Disagree

The Electoral College should be abolished.

Strongly Disagree

In priority order, what three areas of legislation do you propose to author or sponsor if elected?

Opioid Crisis Immigration Po-Life

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?

Yes, BLM is a terrorist organization who is very racist against White America.


ABOUT YOU

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

Very Conservative

Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.

LaurenWitzke.com

Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.

No.

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?

I am an opioid epidemic survivor, and fighting to address the issue of drug addiction is the driving force behind my candidacy. I am a true America First candidate and believe that politicians on both sides of the aisle have left the American working class family to fend for themselves. Traditional Christian values are everything America was founded on- and I'm fighting to preserve that.


VALUES

Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.

Agree

I support adding sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression as protected classes in non-discrimination laws.

Strongly Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am an orthodox christian, and I submit to the teachings of the Orthodox Church.
