OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Never
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Disagree
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
We need to reduce taxes of every kind immediately.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Entitlements, money that goes to providing drug users "safe places" to do drugs, Planned Parenthood, money going to solve the homeless situation (obviously it's not working), and everywhere there is wasteful spending.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
NEVER.
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)Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded.
C.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
NEVER.
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
All terrorism, regardless of the source, should be dealt with swiftly and harshly. Any groups that go against our constitution shouldn't be allowed.
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
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Those currently in office who are not securing our border are violating their oath of office. They took an oath to defend us against enemies, foreign and domestic.
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
If people are wanting to come here permanently they must follow the current immigration laws. However, I do favor generous Work Visas.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Strongly Agree
I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
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
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.
I am a passionate Christian, and my faith in Jesus is foundational to everything I do and believe.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
We absolutely need to begin requiring photo identification or a thumb print system for people to prove that they, A: are an American Citizen, and B: that they are who they say they are. I also want all the voting machines to be outlawed. I'd like to go back to a paper ballot that has security measures with a hand count. I also think that we need to do away with large voting centers and go back to small precinct voting. I want to reverse the mass mail-out balloting and go back to in person voting with absentee ballots available by special request. I'd also like to livestream the vote count of each small neighborhood precinct at the end of the night. I also want national elections to be ONE DAY ONLY, and I'd like for that day to be a holiday to make it easy for people to vote.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
I believe that a tiny percentage of the population that is actually racist. The vast majority of Americans are not racist and should not be treated like they are. I do NOT believe that racism is a domestic security threat. I believe spreading a false narrative that most Americans are racist is the actual domestic security threat.
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
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.
A
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Agree
