QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Under the Doctors recommendation due to health risk of mother's life and if the pregnancy is not viable child/women is molested or raped. Also no later than the first trimester.

Chemical abortion drugs should meet essential safety standards (such as in-person consultation with a medical doctor) and require reporting to gather evidence on reactions and outcomes.

Strongly Agree

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer 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

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

Strongly Agree

What is your position on the minimum wage?

Businesses should be able to pay their employees a fair wage. The minimum wage should be a wage that pays high school students that still depend on parental income. Starter jobs. Not a career for adults raising a family etc.

Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?

No


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Under what circumstances can government close churches?

None, First Amendment right!

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

Neutral


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.

B. It should be up to the individual and available if wanted. Private insurance should also be an option. Let the person decide.

Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?

MRNA or any untested Vaccinations should only be optional not mandated to keep employment or go to school.


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?

Yes! They are our allies and we are theirs.


IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Agree


EDUCATION

The state should fund education by allowing dollars to follow the child through programs which protect parents' freedom to choose their child's school – public, private, or homeschool.

Strongly Agree


VALUES

Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.

Strongly Agree

Parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.

Strongly Agree

Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.

Strongly Disagree

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

Strongly Agree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a believer in Jesus Christ. I believe in loving our fellow humanity. My moral values include respect, honesty, and empathy towards everyone. I am a strong believer in justice and truth. I understand that I may not agree with everything others believe or they may not agree with me, but respecting opinions and coming together in what we do agree on is essential to a prosperous life.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.

Strongly Disagree


EQUALITY

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?

Yes, I believe there is still races that are threatened. I believe that because of our open borders, we have migrants coming here that do not know the culture and may not assimilate well, causing race issues.

I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.

Strongly 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

Which comes closest to your view? (Select all that apply) A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost. C) Stricter environmental laws undermine U.S. energy independence and deter development of reliable electricity sources. D) Climate change is real and requires urgent policy action.

C, I believe in energy diversity. Let the market decide what the people want to use. Choice!

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

Nuclear Energy as well as Oil & Gas.
