Craig Haggard

Strongly Agree

I believe every human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection. I believe it is my duty to always defend those who cannot defend themselves.

Strongly Agree

I believe federal, state or local funds should only be directed towards programs that support pregnant women, adoption and family support services.

Strongly Agree

As a Christian, and a father, I believe every child, born or unborn, has a God-given right to life. The Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act is a moral imperative. I stand for every baby's right to receive the same care and protection once they are born, no matter the circumstances.

I don't believe it should be allowed under any circumstance. There are extremely rare circumstances when the mother may be in grave danger in the case of severe medical anomalies. In this case I would defer to the mother and leave it between her and God.

Neutral

I remain neutral because I believe government funds should be kept separate from any specific definition of marriage. This is not the role of government.

Strongly Agree

I strongly agree because I believe religious liberty is a fundamental American right. Everyone must be able to worship freely without fear of government infringement or discrimination.

Yes

Yes, I do, because I believe that freedom of Christians to share the gospel and live by biblical principles is essential to a free society. I also believe Christians are under attack more than ever in my lifetime.

To me, the idea of separation of church and state appears nowhere in the Constitution. It was first expressed by Thomas Jefferson in his 1802 letter to the Danbury Baptists. As a conservative, I believe the Constitution safeguards religious liberty, and we must ensure that all Americans can practice their faith without government interference.

Strongly Agree

As a retired military officer, I strongly agree because I’ve seen firsthand that a strong military is the best deterrent to conflict. Peace is preserved when our defense is credible and ready, ensuring security for our nation.

Disagree

I do not believe it's the government's job to ensure healthcare for everyone. Instead, I believe in protecting basic freedoms, so individuals have the power to choose their care in a free market.

I would promote healthcare coverage by fostering competition in the market, expanding health savings accounts, and reducing unnecessary regulations.

Strongly Disagree

The government should never be in the business of picking winners and losers.

Strongly Agree

Free enterprise and private property empower individuals, drive innovation, and create lasting economic growth that benefits everyone.

Disagree

I believe in supporting a strong K through 12 education whether it is public or private. We need this foundation for a free society. I believe college is an individual responsibility.

The top two would be discretionary federal spending and some entitlement programs

Strongly Agree

I strongly agree because a nation without a secure border is not truly a nation. By building a wall and the necessary infrastructure, we restore rule of law, protect our sovereignty, and ensure we know who is entering and leaving the country.

Strongly Agree

I strongly agree because when cities refuse to enforce immigration laws, they undermine the rule of law and create a dangerous precedent. Taxpayer dollars should not support jurisdictions that willfully defy federal immigration laws, putting safety and national security at risk.

I believe we should allow immigrants who are law-abiding, ready to contribute to our economy, and willing to assimilate into American society. Those who come with a positive track record, a commitment to hard work, and a desire to build a better future for themselves should be welcomed as part of our American fabric.

Yes

Yes, I believe teachers should be allowed to carry guns in schools, but only if they undergo rigorous, professional training, comprehensive background checks, and a thorough assessment of mental stability. Safety for both students and staff must be the top priority.

As an NRA board member, I firmly believe that gun ownership is a constitutionally protected right. Any restrictions must be carefully balanced to ensure public safety without infringing on that right. I support laws that focus on keeping firearms out of the hands of criminals and the mentally unstable, while respecting law-abiding citizens' rights.

Agree

From a constitutional republic perspective, I support the legalization of recreational marijuana because the federal government should not overreach into states’ rights. States are best positioned to regulate and manage this issue, as long as public safety measures are in place. This respects both individual liberty and the constitutional balance of power

First, I will prioritize fiscal responsibility by sponsoring balanced budget legislation. Second, I will strengthen our national defense and support for veterans. And third, I will make public safety a top priority, ensuring a strong conservative approach to law enforcement and keeping our communities safe.

Strongly Disagree

I strongly disagree because laws must be grounded in the Constitution, and under no circumstances should Sharia law be allowed in the United States. Our nation’s laws must remain anchored in the people’s elected representatives and the clear framework of the Constitution.

Conservative

I am a staunch conservative across the board, in economics, social issues, foreign policy, and immigration. However, after traveling extensively, I’ve gained a deeper compassion for those in difficult circumstances, which helps me balance my principles with a sense of compassion and understanding.

After my first term in office, the John Birch Society ranked me as the most constitutionally conservative member of the Indiana State House. Furthermore, my four-year voting record consistently upheld limited government, traditional values, and a strong constitutional framework, defining my approach as a conservative leader.

I hold a traditional college degree, but my qualifications come from a life dedicated to service. As a retired lieutenant colonel and commander, I led individuals, made critical decisions on a large scale, and drew on my extensive travel experience around the world. I’m also a family man and a business owner, and these experiences have given me a well-rounded perspective on leadership, practical problem-solving, and the values needed to serve in the U.S. House.

No.

Beyond my experience and qualifications, I want voters to know that I feel deeply blessed to have been born where I was and raised as I was. I am committed to giving back to the community that shaped me, and I will fight every day for the people of this district and the future of my grandchildren.

Strongly Agree

I strongly agree because Judeo-Christian values formed the moral foundation of America. Our Constitution was crafted with these principles in mind, ensuring a system of limited government that respects individual rights, accountability, and justice.

Strongly Disagree

The law must remain grounded in biological facts and traditional values. I believe everyone should be treated with respect, but expanding these categories as legal protections destabilizes the equal application of the law and threatens the foundations of our constitutional order.

I am a Christian, and my faith in God is the cornerstone of my life. I believe in the teachings of Jesus Christ, the importance of loving my neighbor, and living with integrity, humility, and faith in God's plan for me.

Strongly Disagree

I strongly disagree because voter integrity is essential to a functioning democracy. Requiring photo ID ensures that every vote is legitimate, protects against fraud, and preserves public confidence in our electoral process.

Strongly Disagree

The Electoral College should not be abolished because it ensures a balance between large and small states, protecting the voice of less populous regions. It prevents a few urban centers from dominating the entire country and keeps our union truly federal.

I absolutely condemn racism as a deep moral wrong and a threat to our national unity. However, from a security standpoint, I believe the greatest threats come from organized domestic terrorism, foreign adversaries, and large-scale criminal networks, which require targeted action and strategic vigilance to keep our nation safe.
