OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
When the mother's life is at stake.
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.
Agree
I am not in favor of abortions with the exception noted above. I am not sure in those cases that chemical abortion is the best alternative as generally if the woman's life is at issue, immediate action is required.
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
These laws bring third parties into the effort of taking a life.
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?
Free market should control private arrangements, not the government.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
Never. The constitution ensures we have the right to worship as we choose and the right to assemble.
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.
D. Government should only be involved to deal with the truly indigent population to provide care for critical services to indigent patients.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
The Government should not impose restrictions on private institutions.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Agree
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Yes, it is a valued ally and we should retain and respect the longstanding commitments made to this ally (and other allies around the globe).
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Congress must secure the border. Our Nation needs an easy process for migrant workers to enter the US to work and return to his or her home country periodically. Entry must be by legal means and the process must be secure to prevent those who will have this Nation and our citizens from entry.
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
We need competition to make sure our students are getting a good or great education.
VALUES
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Agree
Parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.
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.
Agree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a follower of Jesus Christ and try to the best of my ability to emulate his values as my own.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
We need strong ballot security measures.
States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.
Strongly Disagree
Small states still need to be important in Presidential elections. The founding fathers reached a comprimise to deal with the imbalance of population that has served us well. The rural - urban divide continues and rural states still need to be relevant in the Presidential election.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
We need to get to a point when race is not a consideration. Each of us should be able to be seen as an individual not as a member of a particular race. I believe a continued focus on race drives people apart and divides us as a nation instead of bringing us together as a nation. Until we unite as a people as Americans, we will have some domestic insecurity.
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
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 and C
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
nuclear
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?
To provide order, protect its citizens, deal with foreign governments, do necessary things that individuals cannot do alone (transportation for commerce, justice system, protect borders, pass laws that allow people to properly interact, punish those who harm their fellow citizen).
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?
Conservative
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Disagree
Police departments need adequate funding to protect the citizens. If there are community programs that are needed to reduce crime or to reduce the likelihood that a criminal will return to crime, then those programs may have merit and need funded as well as part of a larger criminal justice system.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Felons and those adjudicated as being mentally disturbed with violent tendencies.
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
Yes
With training and knowledge of the school district officials of the presence of such weapon. Gun free zones are a magnet for evil doers to perpetrate crimes involving guns.
