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?
If the mothers life is at risk and rape
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?
We all have a family budget and we know we can’t spend more than we take in. We need to eliminate useless programs and programs that duplicate other programs. We need to put are needs over our wants and do whats best for our residents.
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
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.
Strongly Disagree
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?
That although we put God on our money we refuse to accept his guidance on our decision making.
HEALTHCARE
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.
Strongly Disagree
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
Healthcare is vital to all Minnesotans. Healthcare cannot be micromanaged at the national level. Healthcare freedom is the only answer to address increasingly high costs, narrowing access, and diminishing quality of care. Simply mandating that everyone have an insurance policy will not guarantee everyone quality health care and it is the wrong approach. Health Insurance and Health Care are two completely different things that many people get confused. Look no further than our Canadian neighbors, Europe, or even our own VA services to see examples of rationing of care, long waits, and poor quality care. We can, and should do better. We can still provide for our most vulnerable and needy without handing over the entire health care industry to the government to run, because we know how poorly they run things.
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?
Like most Americans I come from a family of immigrants. My family immigrated from Germany and Norway but they worked hard, played by the rules and gave my family the kind of opportunity that only America provides. A strong country has strong borders, pure and simple. Without borders, we don't have a nation. I believe the safety of Americans depends upon strengthening our borders and not having sanctuary laws.
EDUCATION
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly 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 am Catholic and hold those beliefs in my heart. However based on life experience and by what I have been taught through my faith is we need to love the sinner we don't need to love the sin. While someones life style is not my own and I may not like it I will follow the guidance and love thy neighbor whom God made in his own image.
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?
Conservative
Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
www.roseforhouse.com
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
I have spent my career employing people and making the most amount of money for the lowest cost. Our Government is taxing people right out of Minnesota. I can raise the states revenue without taxing the residents.
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?
Did not answer
JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY
I support the use of Sharia law as a basis for legislation and judicial decisions in the United States.
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?
I am a member of the NRA and I strongly believe in the 2nd Amendment and its constitutional guarantee for Americans right to keep and bear arms. The right to protect oneself and family is a God given right and the Second Amendment is not up for debate or discussion. I will fight to protect our rights, and stand against unconstitutional red flag laws that violate due process
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.
Agree
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?
Education Seniors Taxes
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Racism is a problem but not a threat. I wish I had an answer on how to end it but I don't. Until we teach our children how to be kinder and care more and take hate out of our lives it will always be there. I would like to see us teaching kids God given values in school and maybe then our world would have less hate.
