OTHER INFORMATION

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Exceptions should be made only for life and health of the mother. This is should be a decision between the parents and the medical provider
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
In Indiana, we will continue to work to lower taxes for all Hoosiers
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
We have a balanced budget in Indiana.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Under what circumstances can government close churches?
None
HEALTHCARE
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) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Vaccinations are an important part of the health and wellness of our country. The problem lies with pharmaceutical companies and corporate boards profiting from illness. We need watchdogs for the FDA and CDC and pharmaceutical industry.
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Protect our borders, monitor social media and the internet for threats

The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Anyone who does not have a criminal history and is able to fulfill a production need for the United States. We currently have Americans who refuse to do any type of manual labor, it is time we enlist immigration to aid with our labor crisis.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.

It is not racism that is the threat, it is the race-baiting that is being perpetuated by the media and Democrat party that provides the threat to our domestic security
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
