OTHER INFORMATION

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

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

If the life of the mother is in danger.

Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.

Strongly Agree

The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.

Agree

The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.

Strongly Agree


ECONOMY

What is your position on the minimum wage?

No need for it. The market determines the wage. Will almost always be above any minimum wage threshold.

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

Strongly Agree

List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.

Look for fraud in the HHS budget, especially at the federal level. (Medicaid, Daycare, Home Care, etc) Entities already receiving adequate private financial support. NGO evaluation.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

It means we must govern in a manner that is objective and in the best interest of our citizens. My faith is incredibly important to me and it will help guide my decision making when it comes to voting. There is a fine line to walk and reasonable decisions can be made without compromising my commitment to my Lord and Savior. The Pharisees used legalism to try to trap Jesus time after time. They were the outspoken authorities on “Christianity”, and they were the worst hypocrites of all.

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

Disagree

Private business has the right to make their own decisions, to either the positive or negative of their financial gain.


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) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.

C

The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.

Neutral

Only if individual information is kept confidential. A general database to reference for trends is helpful to future care provided.


NATIONAL SECURITY

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?

It is absolutely necessary. Biblically based.


IMMIGRATION

I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.

Strongly Disagree


EDUCATION

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

Agree

Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.

Agree


VALUES

Government should recognize and support the fundamental right and essential duty of parents to direct their child's health and educational well-being.

Agree

Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.

Strongly Agree

Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.

Neutral

There is existing law in place, supported by Supreme Court decision. What takes place in one’s bedroom is none of my business, nor is it anyone else’s business.

I support the expansion of gambling in my state.

Neutral

Concerned about the potential for organized crime to become more prevelant.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I believe in the Holy Trinity and accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. My eternity is a gift from God. Nothing I can do will earn me anything in God’s eyes. His mercy and grace are undeserved, but they are accepted.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree


EQUALITY

Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.

Strongly Agree
