OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Extremely limited circumstances with due process given to the unborn child.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
Do you support the proposed Yes for Life amendment to the Kentucky Constitution, which makes clear that there is no state constitutional right to abortion?
Yes
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
Remove burdensome regulations that harm businesses and cut the red tape to attract new industries. We also need to promote policies that will enhance business and economic growth. Doing both will ultimately broaden the tax base and create more revenue allowing us to reduce individual tax burdens. We also need to move to consumption based taxes instead of production based tax. Ultimately however we need to reduce the extremely bloated budget and out of control spending.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
First reduce spending by eliminating wasteful spending and unnecessary wasteful positions. The state is much like federal with its use or lose funds and promotes endless taxpayer waste annually. In order to prevent budget reductions state agencies will spend millions of dollars on items not needed annually to ensure the next years budget isn’t reduced. As government positions are vacated we need to ensure it is a critical position before refilling if it isn’t it needs to be eliminated.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree

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.

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

Strongly Disagree
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
