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
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
For Me personally, Never, However I understand extenuating medical circumstances may dictate otherwise, necessary to save the lives of the patients.
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Strongly Agree
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Strongly Agree
Life begins at the instant of conception when the Genetic code is formalized. It is a Human being and deserves the same protections.
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Strongly Agree
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
the state shall not interfere with the operations of the church. However, as a Christian nation, the church must be involved and have influence in the operations of the state through elected leadership.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Agree
iVoterGuide Notes:
After evaluations were complete, the candidate contacted iVoterGuide and advised that his answer was "Strongly Disagree"
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?
Our Relationship with Israel is important as they represent a mutually beneficial economic, strategic and military alliance. Isreal provides a key role in the arena of good relationships with neighboring Arabic countries. They also hold off hostilities from countries like Iran and Iraq. Isreal provides a strong American foothold in the region. Partnerships in intelligence and advance technology with Isreal is vital to US interest.
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.
The simple answer is B. However, I am not a fan of government run Healthcare. Too much abuse and fraud.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Strongly Disagree
This would be of a violation of personal privacy. We do not need the government deciding who gets what treatment, or when. In Canada, certain diagnoses are used to delay and end curable treatments. So much so that Canadians are forced to travel to other countries for treatment.
ECONOMY
What is your position on the minimum wage?
As a business Owner, I want to compensate my team members based on the productive output of the services they perform for my company. The beneficial output should dictate the wage that can be earned.
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
1) budget accountability - Require agencies funded by the taxpayer to be audited and held accountable for how they spend these funds 2) Eliminate unnecessary positions that exist for no direct taxpayer benefit 3) Agency Funding request must be heavily scrutinized using past budget performance of the agency before the funding is released.
IMMIGRATION
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Strongly Agree
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?
Protect the victims and prosecute the offenders through vigorous investigation and facts.
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Strongly Agree
Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.
Strongly Agree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
I support the protection of the 2nd amendment. Anyone with a record of committing a felony crime against other citizens with the use of a gun should lose their 2A protections. Each disqualifying case should be evaluated on the surrounding specific circumstances should there be any consideration to restore such disqualification
ABOUT YOU

Conservative

VALUES
Government should recognize and support the fundamental right and essential duty of parents to direct their child's health and educational well-being.
Strongly Agree
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.
Strongly Agree
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
I support the expansion of gambling in my state.
Neutral
Neutral is selected as it's somewhat a moot point since gambling is already legal in a broad spectrum across the state.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe in God the Father, Creator of all. I believe Jesus in the son of God sent to earth to save us from our sins and provide a pathway to heaven for all who believe and accept this truth.
