QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

To save the life of mother

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive 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


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

Strongly Disagree

Under what circumstances can government close churches?

Never, due to 1st Amendment.


NATIONAL SECURITY

What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?

Contain it, and enforce appropriate laws

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.

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)Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded.

B, but there needs to be some cost sharing in order to reduce waste.

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

None


ECONOMY

What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?

Almost all programs are adequately funded. Keep it simple, restrain and slow growth. Need to work toward balanced budget

What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?

Get rid of numerous duplicate and wasteful programs that get no results. Too much overhead in many agencies.

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Neutral

For colleges the rules change. College is not for everyone, students need to have "skin in the game" with some financial cost and academic requirements, otherwise it enables poor progress and and reduces student drive


IMMIGRATION

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

Agree

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

Violent or criminal immigrants should be excluded.


EDUCATION

I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.

Strongly Agree

Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.

Strongly Agree

I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.

Current laws are fine.

Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
