I believe that life begins at the moment a heartbeat is detected. As a staunch pro-life advocate, I hold that elective abortions should generally be prohibited. However, I support exceptions in cases of rape, incest, and when the life of the mother is at risk. I also believe that such a crucial issue should ultimately be decided by the people. That's why I advocate for putting this matter on the ballot as a constitutional amendment, allowing voters to have the final say.

Strongly Agree

I support the inclusion of comprehensive information in the 'Women's Right to Know' informed consent materials. This should encompass all available medical options and information, including the possibility of Abortion Pill Reversal. Women deserve to have access to full and accurate information to make informed decisions about their health and pregnancies.

Strongly Disagree

I do not support 'aid in dying' laws that legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia. I believe in the sanctity of life from conception to natural death. Instead, I advocate for improved palliative and hospice care to ensure that those facing end-of-life situations receive compassionate and comprehensive care.

Strongly Agree

I believe that taxpayer funds should not be used to support abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood. This includes federal, state, and local funding, as well as Title X grants. Instead, I support redirecting these funds to health clinics and organizations that provide comprehensive healthcare services and educational services to prevent someone from needing an abortion in the first place.

No

Public investment decisions should prioritize financial returns and fiduciary responsibility to taxpayers. Public monies should be invested based on economic performance and stability, ensuring the best possible returns for taxpayers.

Strongly Agree

I strongly believe that free enterprise and the right to private property are fundamental to a productive and thriving economic system. These principles encourage innovation, drive economic growth, and ensure individual freedom and prosperity. Upholding these values is essential for maintaining a vibrant and competitive economy.

Strongly Disagree

I believe that individuals and businesses should not be compelled to provide services that conflict with their moral or religious beliefs. Freedom of conscience and religious liberty are fundamental principles that should be protected. Forcing someone to act against their deeply held convictions undermines these core freedoms and can lead to significant personal and ethical conflicts.

The government should not have the authority to close churches. Religious institutions are protected under the First Amendment, which guarantees freedom of religion. This means that individuals have the right to gather and worship according to their beliefs without government interference. Any attempt to close churches would be an overreach of government power and an infringement on fundamental religious freedoms.

I would choose option B. I believe that healthcare is a fundamental need, and everyone should have access to it. By expanding Medicaid in Wisconsin through the Affordable Care Act, we can ensure that those who need assistance the most can receive it. This approach provides a safety net for our most vulnerable citizens while also maintaining the freedom for individuals to choose private healthcare options if they prefer.

Vaccinations are a critical tool in protecting public health, but they also raise important questions about individual rights and freedoms. I believe that in general, vaccinations should not be mandated by the government, schools, or employers.

Strongly Agree

The CCP has been aggressively expanding its military capabilities, engaging in cyber espionage, and stealing intellectual property from American companies, which undermines our economic competitiveness and national security. To counter these threats, we need a robust strategy that includes strengthening our military, enhancing our cyber defenses, and implementing policies that protect our intellectual property. We must also work with our allies to ensure a fair global economic system.

Yes, the United States' relationship with Israel is very important. Israel is our strongest ally in the Middle East, a region that is often unstable and full of conflicts. Israel is a democracy that shares many of our values, including the rule of law, freedom of speech, and human rights. Our support helps maintain a democratic presence in a region where these values are often under threat. To strengthen this relationship, we should continue providing aid to ensure Israel can defend itself.

Strongly Agree

Yes, the U.S. should take stronger measures to physically secure the southern border. We need to invest in advanced border security technologies, including surveillance systems, drones, and sensors, to better monitor and respond to illegal crossings. This will help border patrol agents detect and address breaches more effectively.

Strongly Agree

I strongly support the idea of allowing education dollars to follow the child, which would protect parents' freedom to choose their child's school—whether public, private, or home-schooled. Education is a fundamental right, and parents should have the flexibility to select the best educational setting for their children.

Strongly Agree

Children are incredibly impressionable, and it's essential that any discussions about gender be handled carefully and respectfully, with strong parental involvement. Schools and doctors should focus on providing clear, age-appropriate information and avoid pushing any agendas that might not be in the child's best interest.

Strongly Agree

Parents generally have the best understanding of their children’s needs and circumstances, and their involvement is crucial in making choices that affect their child's development and well-being. This right should be respected and protected, as it supports the family’s role in raising and nurturing children in a way that aligns with their values and beliefs.

Strongly Disagree

Taxpayer money should primarily focus on essential services like education, and public safety that serve the broadest needs of the community. Decisions on funding for gender transition services should be handled through private or insurance means rather than relying on taxpayer dollars.

Neutral

As a Christian, my spiritual beliefs and values are deeply rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ. I believe in living a life of compassion, kindness, and integrity, guided by principles of love and forgiveness.

Strongly Disagree

I believe that voter identification is important for ensuring the integrity of elections. Requiring photo ID helps prevent fraud and ensures that each vote cast is legitimate.

Strongly Disagree

I don’t support states joining the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. The Electoral College is a fundamental part of our constitutional framework, designed to balance the influence of states in presidential elections. This system ensures that smaller states have a meaningful voice and prevents large, populous states from dominating the process.

Strongly Agree

Maintaining separate spaces and sports categories helps ensure fairness and safety for women.

Yes, racism is a threat to domestic security in the United States. Racism fuels division and discord within communities, which can lead to violence and instability.

Strongly Disagree

Instead of focusing solely on the idea that institutions are inherently racist, it might be more productive to work on practical solutions that address disparities and promote equality. We shouldn't be teaching our kids to hate one another.

Climate change is a significant problem that requires attention. The challenge is finding solutions that address environmental concerns without compromising economic growth or energy security. One practical approach is to invest in clean energy technologies, including nuclear power. Nuclear energy can provide a reliable and large-scale source of electricity while emitting minimal greenhouse gases. It offers a viable path to reducing our carbon footprint and ensuring a stable energy supply.

The most reliable energy source to meet the growing demand for electricity is nuclear power. Nuclear energy can produce a large and consistent amount of electricity with minimal greenhouse gas emissions.

The general purpose of government is to serve and protect its citizens by maintaining order, providing essential services, and ensuring justice. At its core, government is about creating and enforcing laws that help society function smoothly and fairly. It’s responsible for keeping the peace, ensuring that people’s rights are upheld, and managing public services like education and infrastructure. Governments also play a key role in promoting economic stability and protecting the country.

No.

No.

Conservative

I am a proud Conservative. I support a strong economy with low taxes, a robust national defense, and individual freedoms, while also recognizing the need for sensible policies to address issues like healthcare, environmental concerns, and national security. I am a conservative, but I also believe in common sense solutions and reaching across the aisle to get things done in a bipartisan way.

Strongly Disagree

I stand strong with the police and would never support de-funding the police.

To protect public safety while respecting the Second Amendment, some sensible restrictions on gun ownership are necessary. Comprehensive background checks for all gun purchases can help ensure that individuals with criminal records or severe mental health issues don't acquire firearms.

Yes

Yes, teachers should be allowed to carry guns at school, provided they undergo rigorous training and certification. The primary goal is to enhance school security and provide a rapid response in the event of a violent incident. Armed teachers could serve as a crucial line of defense, potentially deterring or addressing threats before law enforcement arrives. However, any program must include strict guidelines for training, storage, and usage to ensure the safety of students and staff.
