OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Up until the heart beat, which is currently the law in Ohio. Encourage rape victims to come into a clinic or the hospital to get checked out and then they avoid becoming pregnant. If a mother's life is at stake, all measures would be taken to save the mothers life. If the mother dies the pregnancy would end. If the baby has to be delivered early to save a mother's life, then that is what needs to be done. All measures would be taken to save baby as well. That would be two different doctor teams saving both lives.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
The people should not be paying for one persons choice.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
I would like to greatly reduce or totally eliminate state income tax
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Develop a "Work Program". This will help people get off assistance. It will allow a person to use the system to get back on their feet. We need to encourage and help people back into the work force. I would need to do a though review of our budget to reduce or eliminate "pork barrel spending".
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
The government should not be closing church
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)Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded.
C. when tax payers money gets involved prices go up.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
I feel this is a personal choice for an individual and the government should not require vaccinations.
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Controlling the inflow of people across our boarder. Enforce the laws we have.
I support the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement to pressure Israel to withdraw from occupied territories, remove the separation barrier in the West Bank, allow full equality for Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel, and promote the rights of Palestinian refugees.
Neutral
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
We have a vetting program, that needs to be followed. We may need to make some changes, however our boarders should never be open.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Strongly Agree
I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.
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
Neutral
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a christian, brought up in a catholic household and now attend a Methodist church. I believe everyone should have religious freedom.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
I do not think we should have drop boxes for voting. I feel that mail-in ballots should only go out to those who request them and be thoroughly examined.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
What is dangerous is the media and some politicians trying to create race wars.
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Which comes closest to your view? A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost.
A
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Agree
ABOUT YOU

For State Government: providing laws, budgets, representing the people. Protecting our constitutional rights and looking after our economic well being.

I believe in small government. I feel parents should have the right to decide what is best for their own children. I believe in freedom of speech and the right to protect your home and family.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Strongly Agree
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Strongly Disagree
I'm in support of having mental health programs, but this would not be in place of police. The national murder rate is at its highest for the last 25 years. We need more police.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Shall not be infringed. Enforce the laws we have. The most restrictive cities have the most gun violence.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
