Strongly Agree

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

- Fiscal Analysis - Preventative actions - Investing in short term and long term plans - Government Oversight on Spending - Improving Business & Government Relations


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

To me, separation of church and state means that the government should not establish or favor one religion over another, nor should it interfere with an individual's right to practice their beliefs. It allows people with different beliefs to live together while ensuring that laws are based on the rights and freedoms of everyone.

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

Strongly Disagree


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.

Disagree


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 to solve the middle east crisis and work on a two state solution. Isreal is our closest aly in the Middle East, and US support about 3.8 billion dollars annually through a 10year agreement. Which gives Washington the levereage to encourage constructive steps that influence can help in efforts to de-escalate regional conflicts and push for a peaceful two state solutions between Isrealis and palestinians


IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Agree


EDUCATION

I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.

Strongly Disagree

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 Agree

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 Disagree

I support the expansion of gambling in my state.

Neutral

Before supporting gambling expansion, I would want to carefully evaluate both the potential economic benefits and the possible social and financial consequences for the community. This research would help ensure that any decision is based on reliable evidence and the best interests of the districts and their residents. The potential revenue impacts on certain districts needs to be evaluated and a thorough research to better understand the current crisis.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

Spiritual beliefs and values are deeply personal choices. No state or government should have the authority to dictate how, where, or what a person chooses to believe. Everyone should have the freedom to practice their faith—or choose not to practice one—without government interference. Respecting religious freedom and individual beliefs is an important part of protecting personal liberty.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

Disagree


EQUALITY

CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?

Rehabilitation services are an important part of helping people successfully transition out of prison and back into their communities. Programs that provide mental health and substance-use support, job training, education, housing assistance, and counseling can address some of the challenges that contribute to reoffending. These services can benefit not only formerly incarcerated individuals and their families, but also the safety and well-being of the entire community.

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

Agree

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

2ND AMENDMENT

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

Gun ownership restrictions should focus on keeping firearms away from people who pose a serious risk while respecting the rights of responsible gun owners. Measures such as comprehensive background checks, restrictions for people with certain violent criminal convictions or court-determined threats, safe-storage requirements, and stronger enforcement of existing gun laws could help reduce firearm-related harm.
