QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
I'm against all abortions! This is one of the reasons I decided to run for office, to help abolish abortions and save lives!
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
God is the giver of life and He alone decides when life should end.
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
NONE!
ECONOMY
Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.
Strongly Disagree
If a man doesn't work, he doesn't eat. American offers us all the OPPORTUNITY for success, not guaranteed outcomes.
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
We have so much government waste it's ridiculous!
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
Simplify it. I'm all for coming up with some sort of flat simple tax for everyone.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
Strongly Agree
Just look how easy it was for them to try to control us during the pandemic. We have to stand up to ensure they don't use that excuse of "trust the science" again.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
This country was founded on religious liberty and no one should be forced to go against that. But, it's funny how this only seems to be forced on Christians, not other religious organizations.
What should be the relationship between the church and the state?
The state should protect our religious liberties not try to dictate them.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
None. Vaccinations are unproven and should be a choice!
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.
B
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.
C. I don't believe we can or should police the whole world
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.
Strongly Disagree
I stand with Israel and believe they have a right to reclaim their land that was given to them by God. As well, they have the right to defend themselves from others in the region who are trying to harm them
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
1. Secure our borders so terrorists don't slip through 2. Maintain a strong military to deter threats and relay PEACE through STRENGTH 3. Support our allies in the Middl East 4. Continue to utilize and enhance technology to monitor terrorists groups and take all perceived threats seriously
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
We should definitely finish the wall and use technology and border patrol agents to keep anyone from entering our country illegally!
State and federal funds shall be denied to any public or private entity, such as a sanctuary city, that is not in compliance with immigration laws.
Strongly Disagree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
People who have applied and followed our system to come here legally. I don't care where they are from, as long as they are willing to follow our system to come here, they are welcome to come to America and they must work to CONTRIBUTE to help make and keep our country great.
VALUES
Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
We can't let people decide who or what they identify as and then protect that. NOPE!
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 spirit filled born again Christian who has been saved by faith through grace and the Bible is the guide for everything I do in life. As a disciple of Jesus Christ, I strive to live and love like Him in every part of my life.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
We need an ID for most things in life and it's not too much to as for a photo ID when voting in order to ensure "one person, one vote".
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
None. They are good as they are now.
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
No one alive has owned or been a slave so no one is owed or liable to to pay retribution or reparations.
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
No. Racism is a cultural problem that we must still work to eradicate from our country, but I don't believe it's a threat. It's being used right now as weapon by the radical left to try to silence and dissuade any non white person from opposing the radical agenda of the leaders of the Democratic party who happen to be people of color.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
We definitely should be using safe technology to mine our own natural resources to work towards energy independence.
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. We have way too many regulations. I'm thankful that President Trump pointed this out to us common sense Americans. Too many rules and regulations are not good for business.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.

I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
