OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Agree
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Choose not to answer
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Did not answer
ECONOMY
Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.
Strongly Disagree
Absolutely not, handouts do nothing for the American People, sound economic strategy is needed to grow the middle class, and lessen the gap in a way that is effective and prosperous to the American People.
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Agree
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
Deregulation of small businesses, President Trump's economic strategy in regards to the tax code was proven to be effective in growing our middle class, as such, I believe we must renew these forms of legislation and improve upon them over time.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
Agree
Yes, as Americans, we are guaranteed Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Disagree
We live in a capitalist society, the right to refuse service is integral in preserving competition between businesses, if a business refuses to serve you, there will always be a similar one more willing to accept your payment for their services.
What should be the relationship between the church and the state?
This is a non issue, the relationship between church and state has been addressed in our constitution since the inception of our Nation.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Under no circumstances whatsoever, to require such documentation is damaging to medical freedom, and is reprehensible and ultimately authoritarian.
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) Healthcare is a mixed bag, and perhaps reasonable legislation might be put forward one day towards a more accessible system, not while our border remains unsecured however, as that would be untenable
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.
D) We must improve upon the quality of life here at home before we ever consider another Nation, the reason to even have a nation-state is to provide for the citizens therein and not those abroad. An "America First" is necessary now more than ever.
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.
Choose not to answer
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
The Previous Administration proved to us a diplomatic solution is always an option
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
State and federal funds shall be denied to any public or private entity, such as a sanctuary city, that is not in compliance with immigration laws.
Strongly Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Anyone who wishes to pursue the American Dream should be allowed to immigrate to this nation legally and under proper screening for the safety of themselves and American citizens
VALUES
Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
There should be no protected classes in a truly equal society

ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
We need a transparent counting system to preserve the integrity of our elections
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
No, our society is not a racist one, we should never allow ourselves as Americans to be divided
