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).
Strongly Agree
As a congressman I will work to sponsor legislation ending all federal funding of abortion, both at home and abroad. I will support solutions that will eliminate the need for abortion, such as adoption, prenatal care, pregnancy prevention programs and education for teens.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Choose not to answer
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
I am pro-life and feel in my heart that we should respect human life from its very beginning. I am thankful that my beautiful daughter’s birth mother chose adoption over abortion. Ultimately, we must save as many lives as possible while providing for the needs of the mother and find a way to balance the rights of both. State laws should determine when abortion should be allowed and ideally should be rare.
ECONOMY
Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.
Strongly Disagree
Redistribution is not the answer. Our capitalist system along with our democracy is the best hope. However, we must do better at providing opportunities and education for all Americans of all socioeconomic classes to be able to attain the American Dream.
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?
The tax code should be simplified. It should be made more fair by removing loopholes that benefit only the extremely wealthy. Tax credits should exist for families who do not have school aged children and for those who choose to send their children to private institutions.
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?
The only relationship the state should have with the church is one of being a protector of religious freedom.
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.
B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options.
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.
The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny.
