QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Incest, rape, medical conditions for mom or baby. New Mexico should not be a safe haven for late term abortion.

Chemical abortion drugs should meet essential safety standards (such as in-person consultation with a medical doctor) and require reporting to gather evidence on reactions and outcomes.

Strongly Agree

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

Strongly Agree

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

Strongly Disagree

Life is a precious gift from God


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Under what circumstances can government close churches?

The Government should never be allowed to close churches, under any circumstances.

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

It should be the right of the business owner to make that 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) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.

C.

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

Traditional vaccines (mumps, measles, etc.) for school; however mandatory vaccinations for work or government should not be mandated.

It should not be mandated by the government, the markets should decide. It should never be tied to inflation.

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

Strongly Agree

We need to stop the flow of illegal drugs like fentanyl, migrant surges, and human trafficking crossing our border.

The state should fund education by allowing dollars to follow the child through programs which protect parents' freedom to choose their child's school – public, private, or homeschool.

I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.

We should be funding our police and supporting them rather than handcuffing them and not allowing them to do their jobs.
