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

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.

Agree

The cultural narrative regarding these drugs has left many young women devoid of true informed consent. Women and girls deserve to have a full understanding of the risks involved prior to taking these drugs.

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

The priority of medical professionals should always be to preserve lives. There are times when this is physically impossible for both an expectant mother and her preborn child. At that point, a difficult and compassionate choice may need to be made, which in medical terms, can sometimes be referred to as an abortion.

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?

The Supreme Court has ruled that the authority of legislating abortion is in the hands of state government.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

The idea of separation of church and state is the framework laid by our founding fathers to keep the state from corrupting the church or our right to religious liberty.

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 United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger. Once our sovereignty is not in imminent danger as it is now, option B becomes more reasonable if done with goals and timelines set for our involvement. But at this point in history, we must prioritize the security, sovereignty, and survival of our own nation and citizens, and we should never engage in endless wars with American lives.

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?

Yes. They are our strongest ally in the Middle East and a bulwark of democracy and Judeo-Christian values in the midst of tyranny and chaos. They provide a democratic and economic partner in that area that is crucial to foreign relations.

What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?

The un-Patriotic ideology being engrained in upcoming generations through the education system causes fewer young people to want to fight for America; the pervasive woke ideology in the upper levels of the military gives Patriotic young people hesitation to enter that system; the weakness of our Commander in Chief and his abysmal decisions that have cost lives; the economy and competitive pay; lack of medical freedom.


HEALTHCARE

Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?

There has been an unprecedented attack on personal medical privacy in recent years. Individuals who choose to keep their medical choices between themselves and their doctors should in no way be discriminated against.

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) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary.


ECONOMY

What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?

The power of the purse lies with Congress, though much of that power has been abdicated to unaccountable bureaucracy. I will take an objective look our budget, substantially reduce spending, and fight for responsible usage of taxpayer dollars.

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


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?

Those who are truly invested in participating in what America stands for. Our entire immigration system needs to be revitalized in a way that increases efficiency and effectiveness of the vetting process to allow for the successful immigration of legal immigrants. But we must stop the chaos at the border before we will be able to improve the system on a larger scale.


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?

To restrict would be to Infringe, which is unconstitutional. The rights of law abiding citizens to keep and bear arms should not be restricted by government. History has proven that fewer gun restrictions on law abiding citizens lead to a safer society.


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 Form a More Perfect Union, Establish Justice, Ensure Domestic Tranquility, Promote the General Welfare, Provide for the Common Defense, and secure the the Blessings of Liberty to Ourselves and Our Posterity

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.

No


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

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 am a born-again Christian, and I believe in the Biblical principles that this nation was founded on. Some examples would include, but are not limited to: Freedom of Religion/Free Will Gender and Racial Equality Sanctity of Life Personal Responsibility Responsible Stewardship of Nature Responsible Stewardship of Funds


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

Biological males should not be allowed to participate in women's sports or occupy biological women's spaces whether it be bathrooms, locker rooms, sorority houses, women's shelters, or prison.

Strongly Agree


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?

Responsibly produced fossil fuels have proven to be reliable. To maintain their reliability for Americans, we must return to energy independence.
