OTHER INFORMATION
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 Agree
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Rape,Incest, Life of the Mother
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.
Agree
Defense, Science, Space, and Nuclear Fusion Shouldvnot be cut
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
Excessive middle-Clas taxes should be reduced.
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.
Disagree
Only at risk of life and in true emergencies
What should be the relationship between the church and the state?
Separate
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Only if a true life or death situation is occurring and the vaccination can be proven to be effective can schools and employers place restrictions. But, work or study from home must be an option so individual freedom and choice is guaranteed. Also, government should NOT have this power.
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.
I choose C. Having discussed this with people who live in countries with national healthcare I’ve met few who think the system woks for any but the young, who rarely have serious issues. Our system fails at drug cost controls and dental cost insurance options, But succeeds in availability of surgery or treatment of serious problems.
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.
B
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?
Stay out of these conflicts. Support only true democracies.
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?
Anyone who goes through the process and wishes to become a working, contributing, American. Not those who want to change the culture.
VALUES
Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Neutral
I think that all people should be treated equally.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe.in God.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Require identification and registration, use computers and networking to verify that each voter votes once, and I'd a live a citizen.
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?
It is a cuase of pain, blame, and unrest. All Americans should be treated by their behavior and not their sex or color.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Agree
While climate change (natural or other) is real. The cause does not matter as much as a need to asdurd that the human race survives. Clearly,az a former engineer, I viewvthstvwe can't take a chance. But, the current throw a switch and let people suffer through the use of draconian measures is pathetic. It is also economicly disastrous. We gave gone from one of the worlds top energy profucesto buying energy products from our potential enemies at outrageous prices. We need a plan.
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

What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
