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).

Agree

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

I feel like if the life of the child or mother is in danger, an elective abortion might be allowed. Rape and in incest are issues that are tough situations. As a mother, I could never have an abortion, once I heard the heartbeat.

Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.

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.

Agree


ECONOMY

What is your position on the minimum wage?

I think we should pay people based on their performance. Minimum wage is probably low based on the cost of living at this time. We want people to work and make enough to survive.

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

Agree

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

These answers are based on my observations. 1. We have too many bosses (supervisors) and not enough workers. This is my observation of some state agencies. 2. We need to check the Medicaid recipients. People living with rich parents should not be on Medicaid just because they have illegitimate children. 3. I believe that our legislators are overpaid. Officials should be paid but not overpaid and federal folks should not be paid for life. This is a privilege not a job


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

The real meaning was to keep the government from establishing a national religion. I am sure the forefathers did not expect to have all the religions that present today. As a southern Baptist, I still believe that prayer is essential in schools and government. For me, I don’t see how it can be separated. I pray everyday for our government officials to make the right decisions regarding people.

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

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

C. Medicare and Medicaid should remain available.

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

Agree


NATIONAL SECURITY

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.

Agree

Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?

As a Christian, I believe we must maintain a good relationship with Israel. The Israelis are God”s chosen people and we must take care of them.


IMMIGRATION

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

Neutral

This is a tricky issue. I don’t want them contained in inhuman conditions is prisons, but should we house them in cities until they can be sent back?? Residents of these cities don’t want them, I am sure. We cannot house the criminals now, much less illegal immigrants. Then, you have the issue of children born in the US to illegal immigrants.


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.

Neutral

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.

Agree

I support the expansion of gambling in my state.

Disagree

Gambling is a tricky issue. I truly believe you cannot legislate morality. Have I bought a lottery ticket, Yes. Will I buy one again, yes, probably. If I ever win, I will give my tithe to my church. I am totally against Vegas style gambling in this state.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I have been a southern Baptist all my life. I believe Jesus died for me and will forgive my sins. Each person has to know his relationship with Jesus Christ when he is making decisions each day. I am not perfect and I must ask my Savior to forgive of my sins each day.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Disagree


EQUALITY

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

Disagree

Biological males should not be allowed to participate in women's sports or occupy biological women's spaces whether it be bathrooms, locker rooms, sorority houses, women's shelters, or prison.

Strongly Agree


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.

Neutral

What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?

In my area, water and coal would be the most reliable source.


ABOUT YOU

When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and religious liberty, which of the following best describes you overall?

Lean Conservative

Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.

No

Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.

no


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?

We need harsher penalties for the drug lords, not the little man selling marijuana. If we are going to have the death penalty, let’s utilize and make examples of these harsh criminals. I would love to see the old” chain gang” go back into effect. I know it would never happen, because people think it’d cruel and unusual punishment. However, if these young people doing the minor crimes, they might think a second time about stealing.

Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.

Strongly Agree

Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.

Strongly Agree


2ND AMENDMENT

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

People with felonies should not be able to purchase guns. We should do background checks on people purchasing firearms. We need to make sure the mentally ill are not allowed to buy guns.
