OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Agree
I don’t believe that we ought to use taxpayer dollars for something that so many people are against.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Disagree
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
To save the life of the mother, or in the case of rape or incest.
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?
Tax code should be simplified, so that most Americans could complete their taxes on their own.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
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?
Did not answer
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Only in the case where a vaccine has been proven to be safe and effective, and where the lack of vaccination would put others at real risk. However, there must be an opportunity for exceptions on the basis of health, religious or personal beliefs.
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.
Private healthcare must continue to remain available. Programs like Medicaid and Medicare should be protected, and made available to those that cannot obtain coverage any other way.
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.
US foreign policy should be focused on protecting the interests of the citizens of the US. We have an obligation to help those less fortunate than us, but that should only come after our own house is in order.
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
I do not support BDS. As the only true democracy in the Middle East, Israel deserves our support. We can find a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian issue without BDS. As someone who has traveled to Israel, I have seen firsthand the importance of a strong US ally in the region.
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
The CCP is one of the most urgent threats to the United States today, and must be treated as such. They must pay a price for cyber security incursions and IP theft, and we must smash their stranglehold on the global supply chain by bringing manufacturing back to the US.
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Foreign aid to countries in the region that reject Islamic terrorism, and swift, aggressive martial action in advance of attacks on US or friendly interests.
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?
The US should have a very open immigration policy, for people who come to the country legally.
VALUES
Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Agree
I don’t believe that anyone should be discriminated against for any reason.
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.
Roman Catholic.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
I’m not sure why it has become controversial to suggest someone show an ID when exercising their right to vote. We require an ID to enter a government building. There is nothing discriminatory about asking for an ID. We should work to make sure that ID are easily available and accessible to all, and require them for voting.
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
I would support a national voter ID law.
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Disagree
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Did not answer
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
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.
We can protect both the environment and the economy by investing in and strategically transitioning to clean energy while also supporting energy sector jobs.
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
Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).
https://broadandliberty.com/?s=Nascimento+ https://delawarevalleyjournal.com/?s=Nascimento+
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 intend to bring common sense back to Congress. For far too long, we have allowed special interests and career politicians are decisions that have not been beneficial for the American people or the middle class. I will support legislation that will encourage a pro-growth economy, that gives parents a choice and a voice in their children’s education, and that ensures that we have safe streets and opportunities for all Americans.
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.
Disagree
I support adding funds to police budgets to include mental health and community programs, but do not support redirecting funds.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
We need to keep guns out of the hands of bad guys and people with mental illness. We can do this with existing background check laws.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Disagree
