Strongly Disagree

No. I believe access to comprehensive healthcare is essential, and organizations like Planned Parenthood provide critical services such as cancer screenings, preventative care, and family planning.

Elective abortion should be allowed, particularly in the early stages of pregnancy, with decisions made between a woman and her doctor. At the same time, as governor, I will support women who choose to carry their child by providing financial assistance and resources. I will also expand adoption services and clinics to help connect children with loving families, ensuring every child has the opportunity to be raised in a safe and supportive home.

Strongly Agree

I believe in protecting life while also respecting a woman’s right to make her own healthcare decisions, particularly in the early stages of pregnancy, in consultation with her doctor.

Choose not to answer

I support reproductive freedom and medical decision-making rights, including in the context of assisted reproductive technologies, and believe these decisions should remain with patients and their doctors.

Strongly Disagree

I do not support enforcement of laws that restrict access to FDA-approved medications or limit a woman’s ability to access lawful reproductive healthcare through her medical provider.

I support increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage that reflects the cost of living, while allowing flexibility for regional differences.

Strongly Agree

Free enterprise and the right to private property are important foundations of a strong and productive economy. At the same time, I believe a fair system must ensure opportunity for workers, prevent abuse, and allow government to play a role in protecting consumers, workers, and competition.

Top priorities to eliminate government waste: Increase transparency and accountability in all government spending. Conduct regular, independent audits of state agencies and programs. Reduce fraud, abuse, and mismanagement in public assistance programs. Modernize government systems through technology to improve efficiency and reduce redundancy. Review and eliminate outdated or ineffective programs that no longer serve the public interest.

To me, “separation of church and state” means the government should not establish or favor any one religion, and individuals should be free to practice their faith without government interference. It also means public policy should be based on the Constitution and the needs of all citizens, while respecting religious liberty and the role faith plays in many people’s lives.

Strongly Disagree

Individuals and businesses should not be compelled by the government to provide services that violate their deeply held moral or religious beliefs. At the same time, I support ensuring that all people are treated with dignity and have access to essential services within the bounds of the law.

Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, alongside private healthcare options. I support a competitive open-market system where private healthcare providers can operate freely, while the government plays a limited but important role in vetting, regulating, and ensuring safety and transparency within the healthcare industry. This approach balances consumer choice, competition, and oversight to improve quality and affordability.

Strongly Disagree

I do not support the creation of government databases tracking individuals’ medical conditions. Patient privacy and medical confidentiality must be protected. Background checks for firearm purchases should remain focused on relevant criminal and legal disqualifiers under existing law, while respecting individual privacy rights.

Strongly Agree

I recognize that the Chinese Communist Party presents significant challenges to U.S. national security, cyber security, intellectual property protection, and global economic competitiveness. I support a strong, strategic approach to safeguard American interests, strengthen supply chain independence, and protect innovation while maintaining diplomatic engagement where appropriate.

The United States’ relationship with Israel is important because it is a longstanding strategic alliance based on shared democratic values, regional security cooperation, and mutual interests in stability and counterterrorism. Maintaining a strong partnership supports peace efforts and strengthens U.S. influence and security in a critical region of the world.

Strongly Disagree

I do not support sanctuary city policies. I believe immigration laws should be enforced to protect public safety and uphold the rule of law. At the same time, I support a structured system that allows law-abiding, contributing undocumented individuals to obtain work permits and, where eligible, pursue legal residency and citizenship. My approach prioritizes removing individuals who commit serious crimes while providing a fair and orderly pathway for those who positively contribute to our communi

Strongly Agree

I support reducing federal overreach in education and returning greater control to states, local communities, and parents. I believe education decisions are most effective when made closer to students, allowing schools to better reflect local needs, values, and priorities while improving accountability and outcomes.

Strongly Agree

I support prohibiting foreign governments from funding American education. Our education system should remain independent from foreign influence, ensuring transparency, protecting national interests, and keeping curriculum decisions fully under the control of American institutions, states, and communities.

Strongly Agree

I support recognizing and protecting the fundamental rights of parents to direct the upbringing, education, and healthcare decisions of their children. Parents should remain the primary decision-makers in their children’s lives, with government playing a supportive role while respecting family autonomy and parental responsibility.

Strongly Agree

I do not support minors undergoing gender transition. I believe these decisions should be made only in adulthood, and I support setting a clear age threshold—such as 21—when individuals can make these life-altering decisions for themselves. Until then, I believe care should focus on guidance, support, and involvement from parents and qualified medical professionals.

Disagree

I respect the importance of religious beliefs and the sacred nature of marriage within many faiths. However, I believe government should ensure equal protection under the law and recognize marriage as a legal union for consenting adults, regardless of gender, while protecting the right of religious institutions to uphold their own beliefs.

Strongly Agree

I support the responsible expansion of gambling to grow the economy, create jobs, and increase state revenue. In addition, I am committed to diversifying our economy by expanding manufacturing, agriculture, industrial development, and trade education programs to create long-term, sustainable opportunities for workers and businesses.

My spiritual beliefs are rooted in faith, family, and a deep respect for tradition, responsibility, and service to others. I believe in God, the importance of moral integrity, and treating every person with dignity and compassion. My values emphasize hard work, personal accountability, charity, and strengthening our communities, while respecting the diverse beliefs of all people.

Strongly Disagree

I believe voting should require valid identification, such as a government-issued ID or passport, to ensure election integrity and voter confidence. I also support open primaries, allowing voters the freedom to choose any candidate regardless of party affiliation. Additionally, I support exploring mandatory voting for U.S. citizens to increase civic participation, while ensuring the system is fair, accessible, and secure for all eligible voters.

Strongly Disagree

I do not support reparations based solely on race. I believe policies should focus on expanding opportunity, reducing poverty, and investing in education, job creation, and economic growth for all individuals and communities in need, regardless of race.

Strongly Agree

I support maintaining fairness and safety in women’s sports and sex-specific spaces. I believe policies should protect competitive integrity and privacy while also ensuring that all individuals are treated with dignity and respect under the law.

Strongly Agree

I recognize that climate change is a global issue and support taking responsible, practical action to address environmental challenges. I believe solutions should balance environmental stewardship with economic growth, innovation, and energy independence to ensure long-term sustainability and affordability for families and businesses.

The most reliable energy supply for growing electricity demand will come from an all-of-the-above approach, including natural gas, nuclear power, and renewable energy sources like solar and wind, supported by modernized grid infrastructure.

Moderate

Moderate Conservative.

No

No

The goal of the criminal justice system should be to protect public safety, uphold the rule of law, ensure accountability for criminal behavior, and promote justice fairly and consistently. It should also include efforts toward rehabilitation where appropriate, reducing recidivism, and supporting the safe reintegration of individuals back into society.

Strongly Agree

I believe government has a clear responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation and online harm. This includes enforcing laws against predators, strengthening digital safety measures, and working with technology companies and parents to ensure safer online environments for minors.

Strongly Agree

I believe the United States legal system is based on the Constitution and should remain secular, with laws applied equally to all citizens. Religious laws should not be incorporated into the legal framework of the United States, and the rule of law should remain grounded in constitutional principles.

I support enforcing existing laws to keep firearms out of the hands of violent criminals, individuals with serious mental health adjudications, and those legally prohibited from owning guns. Background checks should be properly implemented and enforced, and illegal gun trafficking should be aggressively prosecuted. At the same time, I support protecting the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens.
