OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Never. I don't support exceptions

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 Agree

I have sponsored legislation that makes chemical abortion drugs illegal in the State of Wyoming for elective abortions.

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer 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.

Strongly Disagree


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?

The ideal and real minimum wage is $0.00. When the government gets involved in setting minimum wage laws, the direct result is higher costs for consumers and rampant unemployment. I believe the free market can handle it.

Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?

Yes

ESG hurts everyone, and only benefits foreign adversaries like China.?Under ESG, American and Wyoming energy like oil and gas is punished and the radical left’s “woke” cultural agenda is implemented.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Under what circumstances can government close churches?

Never.

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Strongly Disagree


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.

C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. The healthcare industry is wildly overregulated, which has resulted in fewer insurance options, worse health outcomes, and lack of access to care in rural Wyoming.

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?

Absolutely! I have stood in solidarity in front of the Wyoming State Capitol in solidarity with Israel. I was invited by a local Rabbi.


IMMIGRATION

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

The United States has allowed immigration for centuries. The debate is not about whether or not we should allow immigration, we should do so in a way that protects American sovereignty and respects the rule of law.


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 Disagree

Wyoming needs to fund students, not systems.


VALUES

Children have the right to be protected from sexually explicit materials in publicly funded libraries, including school libraries.

Strongly Agree

Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from harm, including from gender ideology and bodily mutilation.

Strongly Agree

Parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.

Strongly Agree

Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.

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

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a devout Catholic and believe in the nuclear family. I believe in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.

Strongly Disagree


EQUALITY

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?

no

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

Women and girls deserve safe and private spaces.


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.

A & C

What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?

Coal.


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?

Government must remain limited. The people have given it only limited powers, as described in the Constitution. The most important single function of government is to secure the rights and freedoms of individual citizens

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


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.

Strongly Disagree


2ND AMENDMENT

Please express your views on the 2nd Amendment.

The second amendment is under attack by the radical left. The Founders of our Constitution sought to safeguard the “right of the people to keep and bear arms”. We must fight to guarantee a well-armed citizenry continues, to ensure the security of a free state.


OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES

I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.

Strongly Disagree
