OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Agree
I would rather see federal funding applied to better education for young people regarding the responsibility of creating a baby they were not planning on having. Greater education on safe sex and greater education on choices that can be made for an unwanted pregnancy that does NOT include having an abortion.
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
The life of the mother, incest rape of any minor child under the age of 17, the rape of a child who is mentally or physically handicapped, and the rape of any woman who is in a non-responsive or coma state under the care of a nursing facility or private home care.
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
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Strongly Agree
ECONOMY
What is your position on the minimum wage?
I believe it should be increased at a gradual pace as it has always been done through the years, to bring the minimum wage to an equivalent level for the rise in cost of living increases.
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.
Due to not having the state expenditures at my disposal at this time, I will say that the State of IL is in need of a very intense audit to be able to see where the wasted spending is and restructure necessary expenditures.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
Allowing freedom of all religions without the interference of the government unless a specific religion will cause harm or death to others, then that would warrant intervention by the government for the protection of the people.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Government overreach should not have a part in taking away the freedom of choice or freedom of religion for any American citizen.
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.
B
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Strongly Disagree
Government overreach is a violation of our right to privacy.
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?
It is important because we must keep friendly allies to protect the world from those who wish to bring harm against mankind and commit genocide to gain control of the world.
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.
Agree
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Agree
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 Disagree
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.
Choose not to answer
I support the expansion of gambling in my state.
Strongly Agree
The money given to the state from this activity should be used to fund our police, firemen and first responders. These people put their lives on the line everyday for a most often times thankless job, so it is important that they are paid well, given proper and continuous training to keep Americans safe and to make sure that all of them have the best up to date equipment.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
My religion is a very personal choice. I am a Catholic Chrisitan and I believe in God. I believe we all have a purpose in this life. I believe in compassion, empathy and kindness as well as self discipline and respect for others. I believe in helping others when they are in need. I hope that I will leave an amazing part of me behind to help shape the future.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING

Disagree

Fossil Fuel - it takes fossil fuel to make electricity work in many situations.
