OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Only if the life of the mother is endangered.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive 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
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
If the comprehensive tax cut bill sitting in the House Ways and Means Committee does not pass, it should be looked at again next session, possibly going farther than the current iteration. I would also look at reducing corporate taxes in SC. When companies look to move to the Southeast, they are choosing NC over us. When they do come to SC, it is because we have given them a sweetheart deal. This puts our local, homegrown SC businesses and small businesses at a disadvantage as they are not getting the same cuts.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
The easiest cuts would be the elimination of pet projects that cost our taxpayers every year and recouping the taxes not paid when a company gets a tax incentive or business grant and does not live up to their agreement. I would also cut tax funding to abortion providers.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
The government should not be allowed to close churches.
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)Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded.
C
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Emergency vaccines should never be mandated, especially with minimal studies and no long term studies completed.
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
We need to protect our boarders and maintain our vigilance.
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
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
People who have entered our country legally and have gone through the proper channels.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Strongly Agree
I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
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 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 have a personal relationship with God and hold to Christian values.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
The election integrity bill (H4919) is in the House Judiciary committee. This bill goes a long way to protect voting in SC. A few of the items in this bill: limiting the reasons for an absentee ballot, allowing 2 weeks for in person early voting (ID required), reducing the potential for ballot harvesting and many more.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Yes. We need to come together as Americans, not based on our race.
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
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
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
The government should provide for the security and defense of the citizens. It should provide limited services like public schools, police and road construction and maintenance.
