QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
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
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
If it’s to be allowed, it should only be allowed in cases of proven rape or incest. If it’s to be allowed
ECONOMY
Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.
Strongly Disagree
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
Cutting taxes, creating less burden for citizens. But this has to be accompanied by a cut in spending by our government.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
Strongly Agree
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
What should be the relationship between the church and the state?
The state can not be involved in the church. The church can be in the state. Separation of church and state was intended to prevent a state church, and to keep the state out of the church. Not to keep the church out of the state.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
None.
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.
D.
iVoterGuide Notes:
After the survey deadline the candidate informed iVoterGuide that there intended answer to this question should have been C.
NATIONAL SECURITY
With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened. B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger. D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.
C
I support the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement to pressure Israel to withdraw from occupied territories, remove the separation barrier in the West Bank, allow full equality for Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel, and promote the rights of Palestinian refugees.
Strongly Disagree
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Did not answer
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
State and federal funds shall be denied to any public or private entity, such as a sanctuary city, that is not in compliance with immigration laws.
Strongly Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Only those who bring something to the table, a skill, profession, or business. No one has a right to come here.
VALUES
Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
CRT is racist and should not be taught to our children. The same goes for DEI and SEL
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I’m a Christian and value gods design.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
Photo ID is required for most aspects of adult life, buying a car, opening a bank account, flying, renting an apartment, buying a house, buying cigarettes and so on. So why would it be a burden to require it for voting?!
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Voter ID requirement, ban ballot harvesting, ban mail in voting except for when their is a legitimate reason, stronger transparency laws, stronger requirements for the chain of custody of ballots, incredibly strict punishments for anyone who is caught committing voter fraud.
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
No.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
Which comes closest to your view? A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost.
A
ABOUT YOU
When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and religious liberty, which of the following best describes you overall?
Very Conservative
Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).
Check my Facebook, I have a lot of interviews posted there, that cover just about every issue. My Facebook is “lets go Brandon Wilkinson” or search @brandon4missouri or www.Facebook.com/Brandon4Missouri
Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized in either civil or criminal court for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.
No
What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
I am always 100% honest and direct, I do not and will never pander to anyone. We may not always agree, but you will always know where I stand. This is why even though I’m a regular guy, a truck driver, I have blown up to having the 2nd largest political following on Facebook in the state of Missouri, and roughly around the top 100 in the country.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Agree
I agree for the most part, but sometimes qualified immunity is used as a shield to protect bad cops who abuse their positions. I’m a big supporter of our law enforcement, but as Stuart’s of the law and public servants, police should be held to a higher standard.
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Strongly Disagree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
None. The more guns legally owned, the safer we are. End gun free zones, protect our children with guns, just like we protect politicians, banks, athletes, celebrities and all other aspects of life in America. I will never support any gun control at all! The founders were very clear here! The government doesn’t have the right to restrict gun ownership.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
You can’t sue ford because a drunk driver hurt you, just like you shouldn’t be able to sue Ruger because a criminal shot you. The problem is the person breaking the law, not the object used.
