QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Agree
Human life does deserve legal protection from conception until natural death. However, anyone that is found guilty of murder deserves the death penalty.
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Strongly Agree
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Rape, Incest, Protect Mother's Life
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Disagree
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Neutral
Bans specifically against drugs have rarely worked (if ever) in US history.
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
People who can afford to pay more taxes should do so in order to provide relief for working families.
Strongly Disagree
As a country we spend too much which is why we are 39 Trillion in debt.
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.

List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
1) Eliminate fraudulent programs (California hospice care scandal, unemployment fraud scandal, Fire-Aid scandal, Medi-Cal scandal) 2) Review and eliminate redundant/non-essential roles within government 3) Establish and mandate Zero-Based Budgeting to better track all spending
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
It means to be that our founders wanted to prevent a national religion and not remove religion from public life i.e. school prayer or religious displays.
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.
C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Strongly Disagree
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.
A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened.
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?
Yes, because they are our closest ally in the middle-east.
Islamic terrorism is a threat to the United States' national security.
Strongly Agree
IMMIGRATION
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Given the challenges we are facing today regarding immigration I believe addressing those applicants that have been waiting their turn and followed the law to become U.S. citizens should be the federal government's focus. Some of them have waited decades to become U.S. citizens and our government should address those applicants.
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.
Strongly Agree
The education systems in the U.S. is failing and some would say has failed. Students are not learning basic math and reading skills. This change is needed to give back more control to each state to tailor its educational offerings i.e. school choice to each parent.
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Strongly Agree
VALUES
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.
Strongly Agree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Christian faith
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
EQUALITY
Biological males should not be allowed to participate in women's sports or occupy biological women's spaces whether it be bathrooms, locker rooms, sorority houses, women's shelters, or prison.
Strongly Agree
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Nuclear energy
ABOUT YOU

No
Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.
No
When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and religious liberty, which of the following best describes you overall?
Conservative
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Neutral
Government can only provide guardrails. Parents have the responsibility to protect their children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
I support the unalienable rights for individuals to bear arms. Any restriction deemed to protect public safety often leads to making the public less safe since criminals find ways around any restriction while law abiding Americans are restricted from gun ownership.
