OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Under no circumstances should an abortion be allowed
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
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
Taxes should be lowered across the board. Government should remain small, period!
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
The Tennessee budget is balanced every year. However, I am in favor of continued reductions in government spending as I believe the smaller the government, the better for us all
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Neutral
Tennessee uses lottery funds to award scholarships across our state - I am in favor of this program as this funding is completely separate from the state budget. I am not in favor of forgiving student loans using state funds for those that have borrowed money to attend college
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
Under no circumstances should the government be involved in the closure of a true religious organization
HEALTHCARE
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 - however, all individuals should be allowed to purchase insurance across state lines and MUCH MORE competition should be introduced into the system. Right now, big money healthcare lobbyists control the system and drive up our healthcare prices drastically
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Under absolutely no circumstances should any government agency be involved in forcing vaccines on anyone
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Our country should absolutely stop taking in refugees from known terrorist countries and anyone applying for citizenship should go through an extreme vetting process before they have ANY chance of entering our country
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
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Only those who have gone through a rigorous vetting process and those who believe in the American Dream and our values
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Disagree
I am not in favor of school vouchers or charter schools. However, I am a full supporter of our Tennessee home school program and our public school system
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Strongly Agree
I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition
Strongly Agree
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 am a strong Christian and proud of it. I believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God and believe all freedoms are ordained by God, not the government
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
I believe we MUST ensure the sanctity of our ballot box is protected at all costs
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Absolutely not. This rationale has absolutely nothing to do with domestic security and is an idea pushed by the far left that attempts to tear down the values our country was built upon
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
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 - stricter environmental laws destroy our economy and kill jobs
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
We must become fully energy independent and should NEVER be relying on other countries for oil or gas
ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
The government exists to provide for the general health and safety of its citizens - nothing more. The government should be involved in only a small piece of our everyday lives
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).
https://tennesseeconservativenews.com/todd-warner-endorsed-by-the-tennessee-conservative/
Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized in either civil or criminal court for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.
Absolutely not
What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
Government should be small and taxes should be low. Small-business owners and farmers are the backbone of our economy. Our children deserve a quality education and that is best achieved when our tax dollars remain in the classroom. Good ol’ fashioned common sense can solve most of our problems today.
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
I am in favor of mental health programs but that funding should not come at the expense of law enforcement
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
The right to bear arms shall NOT be infringed, period. The more firearms the general, law-abiding public has, the better for us all
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
