QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Before a heartbeat is present
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.
Strongly Disagree
Patient – Doctor confidentiality is a right of the patient. Requiring a report, gives government too much control over an individual.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
Zero tax dollars should be given to assist in abortions.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Agree
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
What is your position on the minimum wage?
When government steps in and regulates a "fair" minimum wage, businesses are forced to pass those increases to the customer. Businesses that offer a competitive wage will be able to hire the right employees they need.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
ESG ratings are subject to human judgement and inconsistent access to ESG information. Investments should be based on the Return of Investment.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
Only if a church is found to be in violation of a law.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Individuals and businesses should be left alone to self govern themselves. If a business makes a moral/religious decision on how to run and the market doesn't agree, then the market will determine whether the business will remain open or not. It is not acceptable for government to force individuals or businesses to provide or neny services.
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) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.
D. Taxpayers should not be put on the hook for anyone else's health care. While I understand the companionate side of this debate, health care is not an essential role of government.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Never!
NATIONAL SECURITY
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?
The relationship is important if the US continues to interferer, with overseas conflicts. Our Constitution has clear directives when it comes to getting involved with wars. Not only can't our nation's debt sustain this, but the loss of lives of our military service members is a price we cannot afford to continue to pay.
IMMIGRATION
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Did not answer
EDUCATION
The state should fund education by allowing dollars to follow the child through programs which protect parents' freedom to choose their child's school – public, private, or homeschool.
Strongly Agree
VALUES
Children have the right to be protected from sexually explicit materials in publicly funded libraries, including school libraries.
Strongly Agree
Parents have a right to raise their children based on the family's moral and religious beliefs.
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from harm, including from gender ideology and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
While moral and religious views are important factors when a parent raises a child, this does not give the parent the right to force their political views on to that child. Children do not understand the world and how it functions. They do not have the biological understanding of how the body works.
Parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.
Agree
These decisions should not include anything that would harm or neglect a child.
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Strongly Disagree
If an adult wants to transition, then that adult should be required to fund the transition in its entirety.
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Disagree
This doesn't just apply to government. No one has the authority to define what a marriage is or to whom.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I was raised Lutheran. While serving in the military, I was introduced to a number of other religions. Today I consider myself a christian.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Disagree
States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.
Disagree
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Did not answer
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
Open a new category for trans- athletes. Trans-men can then compete against trans-men.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Which comes closest to your view? (Select all that apply) A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost. C) Stricter environmental laws undermine U.S. energy independence and deter development of reliable electricity sources. D) Climate change is real and requires urgent policy action.
C. Our current environmental laws have been, and continue to be passed by a government agency that has not been elected by the people.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Nuclear power
ABOUT YOU
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
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
Freedom, limited government, and individual responsibility is enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and our Constitution. Today's continued growth of big government endangers these principles.
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
I describe myself as a Libertarian Conservative, and advocate for the greatest possible economic liberty and least possible government regulation of social life "small government”, but harnesses this to a belief in a more socially conservative philosophy emphasizing authority, morality, and duty. Primarily a libertarian conservatism prioritizes liberty, promoting free expression, freedom of choice and free-market capitalism to achieve conservative ends while rejecting liberal social engineering.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Agree
2ND AMENDMENT
Please express your views on the 2nd Amendment.
I support the people over the government when it comes to the 2A.
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.
Strongly Agree
