OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

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

Strongly Disagree

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

Choose not to answer

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Until age of viability which is 22 weeks. In cases of rape or incest. Cases where mother's life is in danger.


ECONOMY

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

Choose not to answer

The working class and many wealthy folks have worked very hard for their money. The wealthy should pay their fair share of taxes as others do, which has not always been the case. Corporations will begin being taxed at 15% as they should also pay their fair share of taxes. I am in favor of raising the tax rate to 39.6% on those making over $400,000. This is a fair move in lessening the gap. Redistribution of income is confusing and may imply that high earners should pay for lessening the gap.

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

Strongly Agree

What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?

Agree with the recent change to tax corporations at 15% rate. Increase tax from 37% to 39.6% for those making over $400,000.


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.

Agree

2014 Supreme court ruled that only small closely held businesses, (Hobby Lobby) could refuse contraception to their employees based on religious beliefs of the owner. It does not apply to larger corporations.

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

I believe there should be separation of Church and State.


HEALTHCARE

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

When there is a public health risk that puts the larger group at risk for others not to be vaccinated.

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.

B


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.

B

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.

Choose not to answer

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

Agree

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

US work with allies to emphasize intelligence sharing and expand such efforts when possible. US and European governments step up efforts to penetrate right-wing terrorist movements, arrest their members and devote more resources to the problem.


IMMIGRATION

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

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.

Agree

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

Those seeking asylum due to natural disaster or those escaping an unsafe political environment in their country of origin.


VALUES

Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.

Strongly Agree

I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.

Choose not to answer

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

Rather than espouse any church denomination, I believe and practice a spiritually based belief. We are all equally valued.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Neutral

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?

Would pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to require state governments to have to get federal approval before changing state voting law.


EQUALITY

Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.

Choose not to answer

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

I believe that when there is unequal treatment of black, brown or indigenous peoples in any form it creates an environment leaning toward unrest and potential violence. To that end you could say that violence created by racist treatment is a threat to domestic security.


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.

Choose not to answer

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.

B

No

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.

Choose not to answer

I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.

Disagree

I am for fully funding police departments


2ND AMENDMENT

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

Needs to be a ban of weapons of war. They have no place in our society. Universal Background Checks, closing gun show loophole.

Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
