QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Abortion is the intentional killing of an innocent human life and should not be allowed.
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
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
The current funding model needs revisited to ensure sufficient funds are available for roads and other forms of infrastructure vital to maintaining and growing populations of all counties.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
No portion of the budget is above being reviewed to ensure our legislature is meeting standards of fiduciary responsibility.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Disagree
Our state provides funding for select educational paths which will lead to the training of skilled workers for high demand jobs, and I support this.
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.
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.

Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
The choice to receive a shot is a personal and medical decision which should be made for personal and medical reasons. Those reasons are privileged.

Strengthen immigration laws to research immigrant backgrounds.
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.

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

Anyone willing to go through the proper channels and who doesn't pose a threat to national security.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Neutral
I believe the decision on where to send a child to school should be at the parent's exclusive discretion.
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.

I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.
