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 also disagree with funding any research institutes that perform research using aborted fetal cells.On

I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.

Strongly Disagree

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Only in rare cases in which the mother's life is endangered.


ECONOMY

Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.

Strongly Disagree

The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.

Strongly Agree

What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?

I believe we should have either a flat rate tax or a national sales tax.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.

Strongly Agree

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Strongly Disagree

What should be the relationship between the church and the state?

The state should not interfere with the church or try to impose restrictions upon them, even during pandemics. I believe that churches should be able to actively advocate for candidates that best represent them, and not be restricted by the Johnson Amendment.


HEALTHCARE

Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?

I do not believe that vaccinations should be required under any circumstance. I believe that it is a decision that should be made by each individual, as each individual knows their own health status and risks and should be able to make their own informed decision.

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.

D) Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded. I believe that the government should not try to influence the free market.


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) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger.

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

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?

I believe that more awareness should be developed of the existence of Islamic terrorism in the US and that the Koran states that Muslims should "Kill the infidels." Islam should not be labeled as a religion of peace.


IMMIGRATION

The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.

Strongly Agree

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 Agree

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

Only those that enter legally and that can support themselves and their families without the help of the government.


VALUES

Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.

Strongly Disagree

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 who believes in the Bible and its teachings. I believe that the Bible is the infallible Word of God. I believe in God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and that there's only one way to God--through Jesus Christ.


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 believe we should go back to paper ballots to decrease fraud that may be committed electronically.


EQUALITY

Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.

Strongly Disagree

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?

I do not believe that racism is a threat to domestic security in the US. I believe that it is the ones that claim that others are racist that are a threat to domestic security.


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.

Strongly Agree

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) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. I believe we should have common sense, practical regulations to control pollution while at the same not having so many regulations that factories are forced to shut down.

No

What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?

I would like to implement a 10% additional tax on all income a congressman makes above salary, in order to help ensure that Congress is solely focused on their job of serving America. I would also like to defund the US Department of Education and return control of education back to the states.


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


2ND AMENDMENT

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

I believe that the current age restriction laws are all that is needed.

Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.

Strongly Disagree
