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
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
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Rape and incest
Does the federal government have a role to play in limiting abortion, and if so what federal steps and/or federal legislation would you support?
Abortion laws are now in the hands of the state where they belong.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
Everyone is free to practice their own religion without interference from the government.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Everyone should be free to operate their business the way they see fit.
NATIONAL SECURITY
With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened. B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger. D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.
B
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?
All of the relationships we have with democracy loving countries are important.
What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?
A general lack of masculinity in the current generation of men is part of it. It takes courage and respect for our country to join the military. The media and schools are teaching cowardice and hate for America.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
If any job is going to require a vaccine, it needs to disclose that upfront, before the person is hired. That person can then make the choice if taking the job is worth taking the vaccine. Nobody should be fired for refusal.
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.
ECONOMY
What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?
We need to eliminate some of the day-to-day taxes Americans pay in addition to their income tax. We also need to limit government spending so that we don't have to print so much money. The inflation caused by overspending is a terrible tax on us all.
Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.
Strongly Agree
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
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?
Everyone should be allowed to apply to enter, but priority should be given to those who possess valuable or specialized skills.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Strongly Disagree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
None
JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY
The Supreme Court should be reformed to include more seats.
Strongly Disagree
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?

What do you think is the general purpose of government?
To provide security, minimal law enforcement for things states cannot handle, and to mostly stay out of our lives.
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.
N/A
VALUES
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
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Strongly Disagree

Strongly Agree
I have 2 young daughters and the thought of this makes me angry.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Strongly Disagree
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Nuclear, Natural Gas, coal. All of the things environmentalists hate.
