QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.
Disagree
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.
No Answer
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Government should be kept out of the matter, leaving the question to each person for their conscientious consideration.
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.
No Answer
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.

Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
Disagree
I promise to protect the freedom of Christians to share the Gospel and to practice Biblical principles.

Government shall neither prohibit nor endorse the free exercise religion.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.
Strongly Disagree
HEALTHCARE
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.
Disagree
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
Libertarians favor a free market health care system, which includes the freedom to purchase health insurance across state lines.
ECONOMY
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.
Disagree
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Agree
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Nonviolent victimless offenders should be released from jail, and prosecutors should be instructed to dismiss those charges in an effort to reduce court costs.
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 Disagree
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.

Political freedom and escape from tyranny demand that individuals not be constrained by government in the crossing of political boundaries.

Mandatory minimum sentencing should be required and enforced for violent crimes.
Strongly Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Everyone has the right to live in whatever manner they choose, so long as they do not cause unjust harm to another. Everyone has the same rights as everyone else. People don’t have more rights, or fewer rights, because of their place of birth. No person can delegate a right they don’t possess to another person. No person or group has more rights than any other person or group. No group can claim a right not possessed by any member of the group. Since no group of people can have more rights than any individual member of the group, no group can revoke the rights of any other person or group. No law, regulation, statute, or other dictate can rightly infringe on the rights of any person.
