QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

Strongly Agree

As a father of two a man of deep faith Eli is strongly pro-life. Eli's statement on the leaked decision that would overturn Roe v. Wade: If the majority-opinion by Justice Alito holds, the United States Supreme Court will have delivered a groundbreaking victory for life. Americans can celebrate a new era of morality and human dignity. Roe v. Wade was a mistake that has cost millions of innocent lives, and our Constitution never authorizes the right to terminate human life.

I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.

Choose not to answer

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

The only circumstance would be to save the life of the mother.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.

Strongly Agree

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

Strongly Disagree

What should be the relationship between the church and the state?

Did not answer


NATIONAL SECURITY

With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened. B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger. D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.

c

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

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.

Strongly Agree

What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?

Did not answer


HEALTHCARE

Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?

None. Eli stands firmly against vaccine mandates of any kind. Each citizen has the God given right to decide for themselves if they wish to take or not take a vaccine. There was rampant government overreach that trampled on liberty during COVID in regards to vaccine mandates, vaccine passports, and forced shutdowns.

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.

Did not answer


ECONOMY

Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.

The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.

Strongly Agree

IMMIGRATION

The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.

Strongly Agree

State and federal funds shall be denied to any public or private entity, such as a sanctuary city, that is not in compliance with immigration laws.

Strongly Agree
