QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
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
I don’t believe these drugs should be available at all. I am pro-life.
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
None
Does the federal government have a role to play in limiting abortion, and if so what federal steps and/or federal legislation would you support?
It isn’t explicitly mentioned in the US Constitution, but the Fourteenth amendment says you cannot be deprived of life without due process. Therefore I would support a Federal Ban under the Fourteenth Amendment.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
The Church must be protected from infringement by the State.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
You should be allowed to refuse doing anything that compromises your faith.
NATIONAL SECURITY
With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened. B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger. D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.
C
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?
Israel has a strategic location as the only majority non-muslim country in a sea of radical islam.
What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?
Unjustified wars and interventions around the world and woke policies and culture of allowing “transgender” people to serve. We should not be paying for sex-change operations and abortion travel in the military. Vaccine mandates also played a large role in the declining morale.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
None.
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.
C
ECONOMY
What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?
Abolish the IRS and the income tax.
Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.
Strongly Agree
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
This is absurd and should never be a part of any government programs.
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?
A very limited amount of highly educated/qualified people from countries that don’t hate us. I would consider a national moratorium on immigration until our border is secured and we figure out who is in the country.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
The Department of Education was started in 1979 under Jimmy Carter and it has been a disaster ever since.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Strongly Disagree
Police are being demoralized by this type of thinking. I support blocking federal funds from any municipalities that defund their police departments.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Almost none. I support Constitutional Carry and believe your Second Amendment right cannot change based on which state you’re in.
JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY
The Supreme Court should be reformed to include more seats.
Strongly Disagree
ABOUT YOU
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
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
For the Federal Government the purpose is to provide for national defense, courts and a criminal justice system. They should basically stay out of everything else and leave it to the states. The ultimate power rests with the people.
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
VALUES
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
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Strongly Disagree
My opponent Claudia Tenney voted for taxpayer funded sex-changes in the military and I find it appalling.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a Christian with traditional values.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
The Electoral College should be abolished.
Strongly Disagree
EQUALITY
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
CRT is a cancer and has no place in our society.
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
My opponent Claudia Tenney, sponsored a bill to amend the Constitution to allow men in women’s sports and bathrooms. This is completely unacceptable and I will fight to combat this disgraceful agenda.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Strongly Disagree
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Coal, oil and gas.
