OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Rape, Incest or life of the mother. But I pray that religious organizations step up and fill the role of cultural counselors and provide life saving options to those traumatized women. Abortion is NOT a valid contraceptive option under any circumstance.

Chemical abortion drugs should meet essential safety standards (such as in-person consultation with a medical doctor) and require reporting to gather evidence on reactions and outcomes.

Strongly Agree

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

Strongly Agree

I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.

Strongly Disagree


ECONOMY

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

Strongly Agree

What is your position on the minimum wage?

There should be no Government established minimum wage.

Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?

No


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Under what circumstances can government close churches?

None.

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.

D. is the optimal scenario.

Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?

The definition of "vaccine" has changed. Under this new post covid definition, the government should NOT be allowed to require vaccinations.


NATIONAL SECURITY

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

Strongly Agree

The US Military, at all levels, are preparing for a kinetic confrontation with the CCP. Living in a free and open society leaves us vulnerable to military and non-military attack and it is the responsibility of government to harden those points of weakness. This includes limiting or forbidding the CCPs ability to conduct business on American soil.

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

Yes, the relationship is very important. Israel is a like minded culture with a democratically elected government surrounded by some of the globes most hostile actors. Our two countries trade medicine, technology, knowledge and culture to the tune of billions every year. If the United States wishes to continue as a global economic power, we must ensure the security of Israel.


IMMIGRATION

The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.

Strongly Agree


EDUCATION

The state should fund education by allowing dollars to follow the child through programs which protect parents' freedom to choose their child's school – public, private, or homeschool.

Strongly Agree


VALUES

Parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.

Strongly Agree

So long as the parent isn't permanently altering the child's body with inhuman and elective chemical and surgical treatments, yes a parent has the right to make decisions for their minor child.

Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.

Strongly Disagree

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

Marriage is a sacrament and as such has a very ancient and specific definition.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

Traditional Roman Catholic.

Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.

Strongly Agree

Gender transitions on minors is child abuse and should be treated as such.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

It is the most logical way to verify someone's identity.

States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.

Strongly Disagree


EQUALITY

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?

Sure, anyone who has observed our Correctional institutions know that racist hate groups exist and conduct illegal activities all over the country. Racist hate groups of ALL nationalities.

I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.

Strongly 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.

Strongly Agree


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Which comes closest to your view? (Select all that apply) A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost. C) Stricter environmental laws undermine U.S. energy independence and deter development of reliable electricity sources. D) Climate change is real and requires urgent policy action.

C

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

Nuclear is the most reliable. Modern reactor technology is amazing! However, an interwoven grid with options is the most reliable form of dispatchable energy. Nuclear for the bulk of the base, Natural gas and coal for quick on demand energy.


ABOUT YOU

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

What do you think is the general purpose of government?

Government's job is the protection of the Constitution and the safety of it's people.

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


2ND AMENDMENT

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

Um, none.

Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?

Yes


OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES

I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.

Disagree

There has yet to be a system that has been effectively implemented that has been able to avoid the influx of crime and an increase in expenses associated with combating the criminal element that follows it's legalization. If the point of legalization is an increase in state revenue, but that revenue goes back into law enforcement then what is the point?
