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

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Only to save the life of the mother in an emergency situation.

Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.

Agree

The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.

Neutral

This leads to a whole moral issue— what do we do with these human lives that are created artificially but not implanted? Who decides which are kept and for what purpose and when to discard? I’m not convinced we are supposed to do this creation at all??

The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.

Agree


ECONOMY

What is your position on the minimum wage?

The free market should decide what wages are.

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

Agree

List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.

Eliminating gov programs that do for people what they should be responsible for themselves. Call for a reduction of all state budgets by at least 5%. Immediate hiring freeze for new gov employees. Audit agencies and find waste.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

It means the people can worship as a Christian nation without government interference— the government can’t interfere with religious expression.

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

Agree


iVoterGuide Notes:

Candidate contacted iVoterGuide after the questionnaire deadline and indicated that her answer to Question 10704 is DISAGREE, NOT agree


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 would match the closest.

The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.

Disagree

No that is an invasion of privacy.


NATIONAL SECURITY

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.

Agree

They should not be allowed to own United States property or farm land.

Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?

It is important, as we should strive to have good relationships with all countries, but the United States should not keep sending more money to help other nations fight wars or secure their borders, until we take care of our own country first. We need to strengthen our borders and put America first.


IMMIGRATION

I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.

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.

Agree

Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.

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.

Agree

I support the expansion of gambling in my state.

Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a bible believing Christian who is saved by the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and I have strong traditional conservative values.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Disagree


EQUALITY

Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.

Disagree

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.

Agree


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.

Disagree

Climate change is a hoax.

What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?

Fossil fuel— Coal, natural gas and petroleum.


ABOUT YOU

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

Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.

No

Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.

no


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?

To enforce our laws fairly and equally.

Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.

Disagree

Parents have the responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities. Government should not work against parental rights. Judges need to be firm on their sentencing of sexual exploitation crimes for justice and as a deterrent. Government should make sure there is enough prison space for those convicted of sexual crimes.

Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.

Agree


2ND AMENDMENT

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

None. “The right to bear arms shall not be infringed.” Criminals will commit crimes regardless of government restrictions. The restrictions only affect the law abiding citizens. We cannot trade freedom for safety.
