QUESTIONNAIRE*
*Additional information was received after the evaluation was assigned and was not considered in the Panel Evaluations, therefore it is for additional educational purposes only.
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
1st trimester, rape/incest, or if determined that the mother's life is at risk
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Agree
With medical innovation, abortion should be an option of last resort. Funding from federal or state government further politicizes abortion.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Agree
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
Did not answer
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Did not answer
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Disagree
I support school choice. I believe we can find alternative ways to pay for public education. This should not be a burden on those who do not use the public school system.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Agree
Our constitution supports these liberties and should not be violated.
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
None
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) I am looking to propose changes to our current Medicaid programs. These programs are not meant to support citizens. Too many fall on hard times but still remain ineligible for assistance. We need to promote advancement in careers that offer insurance and better wages but understand that entry level jobs may not offer these benefits. We also have seniors and disabled citizens who are disqualified based on assets alone. We need to distribute these government funded programs to those truly in need, not those who reap the benefits the government has to offer.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
None. Bodily autonomy is protected under the constitution and that is something I will protect.
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
I do not support the idea that Islamic terrorism is our greatest threat. Our greatest concern is the tribalism that is spreading like a plague across our country. This question alone points out areas we can improve on.
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.

IMMIGRATION
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
We are the United States, the name says it all. We need to encourage immigration but legally. Illegal immigrants go thru hell to get here only to be failed by our current immigration policies. Immigrants and refugees need to go thru thorough vetting processes and our border needs to be secure. Any illegal immigrants should be held at the border until they are processed.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
Parents are the primary stakeholders in their children's education.
Strongly Agree
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Choose not to answer
I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
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.
Did not answer
Marriage between one man and one woman and the families they form are the foundation of civilization and are fundamental to the well-being and prosperity of Wisconsin.
Disagree
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Did not answer
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Yes but not the racism you see in the mainstream media. There is an obvious bias against whites that is a false narrative. It is demolishing our society and this rhetoric is spread from the bottom all the way up to our president.
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.
Did not answer
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Agree

What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?

CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Agree
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Disagree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Did not answer
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
