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?
In instances of rape, incest, and in extreme instances where the mother is in danger of dying by delivering.
ECONOMY
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.
Strongly Disagree
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
All expenditures need to be closely examined to eliminate wasteful or unnecessary spending without disruption of services.
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 Disagree
Governments should define marriage as between one man and one woman; no other definition of marriage should be legalized or supported with taxpayer or public funds.
Neutral
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
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?
The government can’t mandate what religion one has to follow.
HEALTHCARE
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.
Disagree
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
Price of service and prescriptions should be regulated to ensure pharmaceutical companies and others aren’t overpricing which would save insurance companies, Medicaid, etc money which would in turn lower prices for companies and individuals.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.
Strongly Agree
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
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
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
All law abiding, documented, individuals who have went through the proper steps and only after being cleared after proper vetting has been completed.
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.
Strongly Agree
I support adding sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression as protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Agree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe that to be saved you repent, ask God for forgiveness and be baptized in the Holy Spirit. I am imperfect man who has been saved and my actions and beliefs are centered on serving and glorifying God in everything I do.
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.
My stance on all issues reflects that I am a Christian conservative. Please visit robconnforky.com to see more.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
I have twenty-three years experience in law enforcement, which gives me unique experience in the practical application of laws. I spent seven years in our Drug Enforcement/Special Investigations unit which was tasked with middle to upper drug investigations and public corruption cases in the Commonwealth. I saw first hand and fought the devastation that drugs have caused to our region and state. I know the importance that enforcement and rehabilitation to those involved plays a vital role in stopping this epidemic. I also know how important it is to block any attempt at the establishment of sanctuary cities for illegal immigration. These laws prohibit Local agencies from contacting State and Federal Agencies in seeking cooperation in investigations. This in addition to ignoring state and federal laws puts a strain on these agencies who might not have the resources necessary to investigate crimes in their district. Immigration should be encouraged if done so legally.
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 a Christian, father, husband, son, your neighbor, I am not a politician. I have grown disgusted with career politicians who have become more self serving instead of serving the public that elected them. Most of them don’t know the struggle that the rest of face daily earning a living, raising our children, or ensuring the safety of our family and property. I know these things and have dedicated my life to service above self. It’s time for us to have a true voice in our state from people who haven’t, nor will make politics as our career. Thank you, Rob Conn Republican Candidate for State Representative 70th District

Strongly Disagree
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Mandatory minimum sentencing should be required and enforced for violent crimes.
Strongly Agree
2ND AMENDMENT
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
Yes
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

Strongly Disagree
I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.
Disagree
The Electoral College should be abolished.

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