QUESTIONNAIRE*
*Additional information was received after the evaluation was assigned and was not considered in the Panel Evaluations, therefore it is for additional educational purposes only.
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not be a resource for instruction or services in the school.
Strongly Agree
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Unfortunately, a baby may die when attempting to save the life of the mother. In this situation as well as with a miscarriage, the baby may require surgical intervention to be removed from the uterus.
ECONOMY
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.
Disagree
What is your position on government funding of public education from Pre-K through college?
I support government funding of public education from K-high school.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Governments should define marriage as between one man and one woman; no other definition of marriage should be legalized or supported with taxpayer or public funds.
Agree
I believe marriage should be defined as between one man and one woman. Other arrangements could be recognized as 'civil unions'.
The Ten Commandments should not be displayed in public school buildings or court houses.
Disagree
At school, students should be able to speak freely and civilly about matters of conscience and faith, including Christianity.
Agree
NATIONAL SECURITY
The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.
Agree
EDUCATION
Every state should mandate K-12 standardized tests and the use of teaching software which aligns with Common Core standards.
Disagree
Parents are the ultimate authority in their child’s education and should be able to freely pursue whatever educational options they deem best for their child.
Strongly Agree
Before students are taught courses such as Comprehensive Sex Ed (CSE) or Social Emotional Learning (SEL), they must opt-in with written parental permission.
Strongly Agree
I support the teaching of curricula (such as the 1619 Project, No Place for Hate, Second Step, etc.) that emphasizes slavery and racism as the foundation of American history.
Disagree
The loss of local control in education is too high a price to pay in exchange for federal dollars.
Agree
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality that is necessary for our system of limited government.
Agree
I support allowing public high school students to participate in athletic competition based on the gender with which they identify instead of biological sex.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
