QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Agree
I am opposed to federal funding for abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood. I support policies that seek to defund Planned Parenthood and similar organizations involved in providing or facilitating abortions. This position includes endorsing restrictions on federal, state, and local government funds, such as Title X grants, from being allocated to these entities.
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.
Agree
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
My stance on elective abortion is generally restrictive. I support limiting elective abortions, with a focus on restrictions based on gestational age and other criteria. My position aligns with conservative principles that seek to impose limits on elective abortions, particularly after certain points in pregnancy. I would prioritize policies designed to reduce access to elective abortions while advancing broader pro-life initiatives.
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?
Yes. I support appointing judges who are likely to uphold restrictive abortion laws and challenge Roe v. Wade. I back efforts to restrict federal funding for abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, through mechanisms like Title X funding restrictions. I endorse the Hyde Amendment, which limits federal funding for abortions except in cases of rape, incest, or threats to the mother's life. I also support legislation banning partial-birth abortions and encourage states to enact their own restrictive abortion laws as part of a broader strategy to limit abortion access.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
"Separation of church and state" means ensuring the government does not restrict religious practices while preventing religious institutions from controlling government policies. I support protecting religious freedom and allowing religious groups to participate in public life, while upholding this separation.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Disagree
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.
My position aligns with option C: The U.S. has been too involved in foreign policies and should focus on its own sovereignty, intervening only in cases of imminent danger. I advocate for a more restrained foreign policy, prioritizing national interests and reducing overseas conflicts.
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Agree
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
I view Israel as a crucial ally in the Middle East, essential for regional security and counterterrorism. Our shared democratic values reinforce this relationship. I support robust U.S. backing for Israel's security through military and diplomatic means, believing it contributes to Middle Eastern stability and peace.
What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?
The decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention is due to increased competition from the private sector, political and social factors that affect perceptions of military roles, challenges in meeting recruitment standards, and issues with military readiness and morale.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Under no circumstances.
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.
My position aligns with option B: Government-funded healthcare should be available for those who want it, alongside private options. I support maintaining and improving Medicaid and Medicare while promoting a market-driven approach.
ECONOMY
What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?
I support tax cuts for individuals and businesses, including the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, along with reducing federal regulations, simplifying the tax code, and boosting economic growth through lower corporate taxes and investment.
Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.
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
I oppose using ESG ratings for public fund investments, as they impose unnecessary restrictions and political agendas. I advocate prioritizing financial returns and supporting policies to limit ESG influence.
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?
I support merit-based immigration, prioritizing individuals with skills, education, and job offers. I advocate for strengthened border security and rigorous enforcement of immigration laws, measures to prevent illegal entry and deport those unlawfully present, and more stringent vetting and limitations on refugee and asylum admissions.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Agree
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Agree
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Strongly Disagree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
The 2nd Amendment is clear. "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED."
JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY
The Supreme Court should be reformed to include more seats.
Strongly Disagree

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?
Lean Conservative
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
The primary purpose of government is to maintain order, stability, and governance. This involves protecting citizens' rights, enforcing laws, managing resources, and promoting economic and social welfare. Governments must create and implement policies that serve the public's needs while upholding the rule of law and democratic principles.

Strongly Agree
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Disagree
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
I support expanding fossil fuels for their reliability and infrastructure, promoting energy independence through increased domestic production. While acknowledging renewables, I stress a balanced approach favoring traditional energy.
