OTHER INFORMATION*
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Only when there is a medically documented physically life-threatening emergency for the pregnant woman in the first trimester.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive 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
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
None.
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
The United States can help eradicate this threat by taking a more non-interventionist approach to foreign policy, implementing more thorough vetting of all immigrants and refugees and gaining more operational control of all of our borders.
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.
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)Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded.
C
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
None
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
We should take steps to reduce and eventually eliminate property taxes without implementing a personal income tax.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Across the board, zero-based budgeting should be implemented to reduce wasteful spending. We should abandon the "use it or lose it" mentality with regard to state funding. Having dealt with DSHS for many years, I believe that is an agency that would benefit from a systems and processes review.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Only those whose qualifications will allow them to fill a void in our workforce, and refugees on a case-by-case basis.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Strongly Agree
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Strongly Disagree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Violent felons who have yet to serve their full term, as well as citizens who are deemed by a court of law to be mentally unfit should not be in possession of a firearm.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree

Racial supremacy of any type has the potential to be a threat to domestic security.
