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

I believe the right to life is a foundational principle of our nation and a fundamental human right that deserves legal protection. From conception through every stage of life, I believe every human life has inherent dignity and value. I do not believe taxpayer dollars should fund organizations that perform or promote abortion or otherwise undermine the protection of innocent human life.

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

The only exception is if it is necessary to save the life of the pregnant mother in a medical emergency.

Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.

Strongly Agree

I firmly believe that every individual possesses an absolute right to life.

The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.

Agree

I believe life begins at conception and is sacred and deserving of protection. Every human life, at every age and every stage of development, has inherent dignity and should be safeguarded.

The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.

Strongly Agree

I believe that drugs intended to end innocent human life should not be permitted. I support enforcing existing laws, including the Comstock Act, and ensuring that our government faithfully upholds the law to protect the sanctity and dignity of every human life.


ECONOMY

What is your position on the minimum wage?

I believe in free markets and in the right of employers and employees to negotiate wages through voluntary agreement.

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

Agree

As a small business owner, I believe free enterprise and private property rights are cornerstones of our society and essential to building a strong, thriving economy.

List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.

1. Work to phase out the state income tax. 2. Continue to audit government agencies to find waste and fraud. 3.Strengthen oversight of contracts and procurement to prevent waste, fraud, and abuse and ensure taxpayers receive the best value for every dollar spent.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

I believe our rights come from God, not government, and that America is strongest when we remain grounded in biblical values. The First Amendment protects the free exercise of religion—it was never meant to remove God or people of faith from public life. As a Christian, I believe our faith should guide how we serve our communities, defend our freedoms, and uphold the principles upon which our nation was founded. I will always stand for religious liberty and the right of every American to live ou

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

Disagree


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.
