OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Abortion is not birth control.
Chemical abortion drugs should meet essential safety standards (such as in-person consultation with a medical doctor) and require reporting to gather evidence on reactions and outcomes.
Strongly Agree
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer 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.
Choose not to answer
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
What is your position on the minimum wage?
Minimum wage salary should be commensurate with the value of the skills/ labor provided as well as increase based on cost of living as applicable.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
Public monies should not be invested in private organizations without transparent oversight, public input, return-on-investment guarantees, and other competitive analysis indicators regardless of ESG ratings. We need to reduce national debt, not create new avenues to spend public funds.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
Government guidance regarding public health should improve the operation of churches and business during health emergencies to protect citizens.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
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) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.
C
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Public health concerns should be mediated under the care of licensed doctors, not corporations or schools. Existing regulations, which has been approved through the FDA, by medical professionals, for the health of children, not to mandate adults.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
There is mot enough space to explain the Judeo-Christian foundation of our country which binds us to Israel inextricably and in perpetuity.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
EDUCATION
The state should fund education by allowing dollars to follow the child through programs which protect parents' freedom to choose their child's school – public, private, or homeschool.
Strongly Agree
Education is a personal decision based on the learner. Not every school can meet the needs of every child. Taxpaying parents deserve choice.
VALUES
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
Parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.
Strongly Agree
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Choose not to answer
This is an adult choice for adults, not children who have yet to experience puberty. It should be decided privately and paid for with private funds by adults, if elected to proceed.
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Strongly Agree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Christian
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
Never
States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.
Choose not to answer
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Racism poses a credible threat to economic disparities, educational access, and safety in some communities. This is a domestic issue that should be addressed in conjunction with national threats that impact all Americans.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
Biological males should not be allowed to participate in women's sports or occupy biological women's spaces whether it be bathrooms, locker rooms, sorority houses, women's shelters, or prison.
Strongly Agree

B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost. C) Stricter environmental laws undermine U.S. energy independence and deter development of reliable electricity sources. D) Climate change is real and requires urgent policy action.
C
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
More research will determine this but we must diversify our energy reliance, mitigating regulations with the need for renewable energy.
