QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

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

Choose not to answer

This is a state issue.

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.

Choose not to answer

This is a state issue.

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

This is a states issue.

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?

This is a state issue.


ECONOMY

What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?

I see America's entrepreneurial spirit waning. I will work to rejuvenate it in Congress and with our Governor and Legislation to promote business and innovation, not stifle it. I have visited hundred of Vermont businesses, that want less regulation.

Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.

Neutral

I support zero percent loan repayment rates for school debt.

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

Yes

I will not support the rampant Industrial Policy/Government intervention/full blown subsidy failure mode we are in. Again, you, taxpayer, pay for it.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

Exactly what is says.

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

Strongly Agree

I will protect individual rights. I believe 'all men are created equal'.


HEALTHCARE

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

I did not like the vaccine mandates. I do not think they were appropriate on many levels. I think everyone learned a lot from the COVID 19 virus. Other implementations could have been made that were less overreaching. We need to protect everyone.

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.

Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options.


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.

The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny.

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

Strongly Agree

I will seek to sanction trade with countries that are communist/violating human rights, funneling opioids into our country, stealing US technology, or do not support fair trade.

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

Yes, and I will always seek to influence United States Foreign Policy to ensure stability, security, a strong US economy and peace on earth.

What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?

We need to support a strong military with overmatch capabilities. I will ensure accountability and value for all military spending.


IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Agree

I will secure our southern and northern border to address the crime, Opioid/Fentanyl, and illegal immigration crisis.

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

I will seek to enforce immigration laws and change immigration laws as necessary.


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.

Neutral

I will consider major educational changes, such as the dissolving the US Department of Education. Every child deserves a quality education and that is not happening right now.


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.

Choose not to answer

We are all God's children.

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.

Choose not to answer

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

Life long practicing Roman Catholic.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Choose not to answer

The Electoral College should be abolished.

Choose not to answer


EQUALITY

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

Choose not to answer

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

Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.

Neutral

I will support development of renewable energy capabilities. I will support continuing to reduce emissions.

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

A mix between what we have in energy, solar, and nuclear should all be utilized for society.


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?

Moderate

I will serve in the best interest of Vermonters, Vermont and the United States.

What do you think is the general purpose of government?

Less Government, not more; Government for the people, not people for the Government (also known as Socialism). I will support Government that provides just enough order so every American can enjoy their unalienable rights.

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.

Choose not to answer

I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.

Neutral
