QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
This should never be a taxpayer funded program. A person should be free to make their own choices but forcing others to aid in that decision is Unconstitutional and causes division.
Chemical abortion drugs should meet essential safety standards (such as in-person consultation with a medical doctor) and require reporting to gather evidence on reactions and outcomes.
Neutral
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Rape, Incest and the life of the mother is in danger.
Does the federal government have a role to play in limiting abortion, and if so what federal steps and/or federal legislation would you support?
No
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
That the government should remain out of the Church. It was designed to protect the Church from the Government as the King use to tell the Church what it could teach.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
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
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
They are one of our closest allies and they keep the Middle East distracted and less focused on the rest of the world.
What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?
It was all the DI programs but it is on the rise now.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
I don't believe they should have that control. Their body should be their choice.
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) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.
C probably closest aligns with my opinion though I wouldn't say no other taxpayer funded programs.
ECONOMY
What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?
lowering taxes and increasing job growth by cutting regulations and reducing taxes on small businesses
Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.
Strongly Agree
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
This is again causing division in our communities.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Disagree
iVoterGuide Notes:
After the voter guide was published, candidate notified iVoterGuide that the intended answer to this survey question should have been "Strongly Agree".
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Those who will help to improve our country.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Strongly Disagree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
None. Don't seem to see to many gun stores getting robbed.
JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY
The Supreme Court should be reformed to include more seats.
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?
Conservative
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
To protect our God Given Rights!
Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.
No
Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.
Yes! I was thrown into prison without a convict which took 30 years to get the State to admit was true. during my 30 year fight I struggled with the stigma and lose of my children. with some friends we went joy riding and because of the prior that wasn't really a prior it was elevated to a felony. once the State admitted I was correct and innocent of the original, the Courts set aside the other felony.
VALUES
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
Again, this is something that creates unnecessary division.
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I'm catholic and believe in the sanctity of life. I believe in the Unity of Marriage and have strong family values.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
The Electoral College should be abolished.
Strongly Disagree
EQUALITY
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree

Strongly Disagree
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Disagree
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
