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?

None. We should care for both the mother and her unborn child.


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?

Under the the enforcement clause of the first amendment, the federal government cannot FORCE any religion on citizens and under the prohibition clause of the first amendment the government CANNOT PROHIBIT the practice of religion by citizens.


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?

We need to continue to support our long-standing ally Israel against the very real existential threat it faces daily.


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.

C


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?

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?

America has a long and rich history of legal immigration but we can not allow the flow of those who bypass our immigration policies and seek to enter our country illegally.


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.

Strongly Agree

I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.

Strongly Disagree

We need to REfund law enforccement and strengthen the office of local prosecutors to keep repeat offenders off the street.


2ND AMENDMENT

None

Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.

Strongly Disagree


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).

I have a long history of advocating for Conservative values both in my private life and in my public service.

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 a strong advocate for parental rights, family independence, medical freedom and strongly support our constitutional rights as given by God and defined in America's funding documents.


VALUES

Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.

Choose not to answer

Sexual orientation is already a protected class but the fluid and reversible nature of "gender identity" should not be protected under our Constitution.

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.

As a follower of Christ from an early age, I believe I am called to "love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength and to 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these." Human beings have incredible value to God, and to me. I value protecting human life, from the unborn to the elderly. Life is a gift from God and should be protected. My faith guides my decisions in every area of life.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

Photo ID is essential to securing local, state and federal elections.

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?

Voter ID should be required in every state and only legal residents should be allowed to vote. Mail in ballots should be restricted to military personnel and those with valid physical handicap. No ballot harvesting.


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?

While racism is largely an artifact of a bygone era in history, there remain those who are eager to use race to stir division and violence. Racism is not the root cause of the divide in our nation. The leftists, Democrats and progressive ideology are.


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.

Strongly Agree

America needs to return to energy independence.

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- We cannot absolutely destroy the present in hopes of protecting an uncertain future based on controversial and changing "science."
