QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

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

Strongly Agree

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

It should be done on regulations set by the state.

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Only in the case of where the fetus is no longer viable, if it would save the mothers life, etc.

Does the federal government have a role to play in limiting abortion, and if so what federal steps and/or federal legislation would you support?

The matter is back to the states where it belongs. Although the federal government should mandate exceptions for states that are silent as to whether abortions can be done in the case of rape, incest, to save a mothers life, if the fetus is not viable, etc.


ECONOMY

What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?

Reduce taxes on a personal and business level for all brackets.

Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.

Strongly Agree

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

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

Not mandating a specific religion through government action.

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

Strongly Disagree


HEALTHCARE

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

None. Its more of a local issue.

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. But those who want government healthcare should be paying the taxes for it and not the individuals who choose to have private insurance.


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.)

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?

Yes. For a few reasons. Israel is right in the Middle East where global conflicts happen.

What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?

1.) senseless war such as Ukraine, Middle East, etc. 2.) Not being in a direct war


IMMIGRATION

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

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

EDUCATION

I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.

Strongly Agree

I intend to file a bill where the Federal Government has a school choice program, that is very similar to North Carolina. There will be Federal Grants, Tax Breaks for those who choose to put their children into charter schools, etc.

I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.

Strongly Agree

The Department of Education was a DISASTER that Jimmy Carter made. It needs to go away.


VALUES

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

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

Strongly Agree

Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.

Strongly Disagree

Heavily leaning to be Christian. Though I feel I am not worthy as of yet.
