OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
All phases of pregnancy are considered "life"; therefore, abortion takes a life, and I believe this is murder.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
Grants are taxpayer-funded. Our taxes should not go towards abortions.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
I disagree with assisted suicide.
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
Did not answer
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Did not answer
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Disagree
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Disagree
A business should be able to provide services to its targeted clients. People have the freedom to choose from many companies.
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
The government should not decide whether or not a church is open or closed. Church and government are separate.
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: Changes need to be made to the current plan. An income-adjusted contribution towards a health plan of the enrollee's choice should be an option.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
The government should not be involved in our health care decisions. Schools and employers should not be allowed to demand vaccinations.
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
We need to protect our borders and stop illegal immigration. Security should be enhanced at our airports, and identification required. U.S government must identify and prioritize potential and actual terrorist sanctuaries. The U.S. government needs to stand firm in protecting our country.
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
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?
Using the SAVE Program (Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements) a system that should be implemented nationwide. Spouses and children of immigrants that are legally already in our country.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
The funding should follow the student.
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Agree
I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.
Neutral
I believe we are born male or female. I think that no one should be discriminated against. The government should not be involved in changing genders.
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition
Neutral
Government and religion are separate and the government has no place in religion.
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 am a Christian and believe God created us. Ethics and morals are essential.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
Voter ID should always be a requirement to vote.
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Voter ID required—voting in person. You must be a US Citizen to vote.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Racism is being promoted by certain parties and is dividing our nation. I believe this is a domestic security issue in the United States.
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.
We need to protect our environment for future generations. We need to have moderate regulations and environmental laws. Not extreme or excess.
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Agree
ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
The people hold power and authority in government. The people give power to the leaders they elect to represent them. The rights of the citizens are protected through our constitution and voting. The government is there to represent the people and serve their interests.
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?
Very Conservative
Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).
Did not answer
Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized in either civil or criminal court for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.
No
What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
Election integrity, protecting our borders, stopping illegal immigration, protecting water rights, stopping human trafficking and drug trafficking, stopping the unprecedented federal spending, protecting the 2nd amendment, and keeping America first.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Neutral
If there is a reason to believe that an incident should be reviewed, then I think that it should at least be looked into if there are questions.
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Disagree
We need more mental health and community programs, but I support our law enforcement and their funding.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
No restrictions. However, I believe it is essential for people to take a gun handling course.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
The firearm manufacturer and the firearm dealer are not responsible for gun violence. The people behind the gun taking action to pull the trigger are responsible.
