Strongly Agree

I agree, "every stage" needs protection - and protection includes affordable housing and healthcare for everyone, childcare, feeding programs/benefits, senior care, youth care, etc

Neutral

Planned Parenthood offers general healthcare services like birth control, pregnancy support and cancer screening. These services need support.

Strongly Agree

Yes, I believe health care providers should provide this type of treatment - particularly to make sure the child does not suffer, and providers should have some type of social service agency partnership to help plan next steps/placement of the child.

First, statistics say nearly half the women who have abortions do so because of the lack of finances to take care of the child. This is even true when women are in a stable or unstable relationship. In short, whether in a stable or unstable relationship, most women would choose to keep the child if they felt like they could afford to do so with or without a partner/relationship. - With that said, there needs to be a focus on better pay/equal pay, healthcare and childcare. I have also spoken to many women who have been placed in that situation, and they felt as if they had more options, they would have chosen differently. I certainly understand medical situations [life/death of mother], rape, incest, and more options.

Neutral

I believe it is a shared responsibility between and amongst the government, individuals and private entities. As we know some people are not able to work for a number of reasons and it is the duty of the government to take care of its citizens, especially when an individual is not able. Government needs to provide a check and balance system to help set and uphold safe work environments, the environment in general, and fair pay along with unions.

Agree

Freedom of choice is good, owning assets are good, And, there has to be a check and balance system in place to ensure greed does not take over and destroy the environment/land and people. [a balance between public safety and business freedom]

Agree

There are both public and private colleges. Public colleges should receive the tax-payer funds. Noting, a highly educated workforce attracts jobs and would help IN to compete globally.

Currently, Indiana is operating with a budget surplus and reserves. I would examine administration costs to see if we are duplicating services within our state agencies. If there are duplicate services, we can reduce spending there first.

Neutral

I believe there should be a distinction between a marriage and an union - both come with rights and privileges. For instance, the right/privilege to add a love one to your medical insurance policy, and name as a beneficiary.

Agree

Again, checks and balances are needed to ensure public safety, and religious liberty does deserve protection.

Choose not to answer

I will protect the freedom of people to share the truth and practice truth/biblical principles.

People have the right to worship or not worship without fear of government punishment for their choice. Again, a balance is needed to make sure that public safety is protected, no official national church

Strongly Agree

Yes. Universal healthcare is working well in other countries, and it can work for the Indiana/US too. Healthcare is a human right. Healthy people make productive workforces and healthy communities - economically and socially. The government can partner with big pharmaceutical companies in the same way they have partnered with tobacco companies. In short, pharmaceutical companies can pay into a special account much like the tobacco companies for the damage/injury they have caused to individuals.

I would ask pharmaceutical companies to pay into a special account much like the tobacco companies - for the damage/injury they have caused to individuals. We know pharmaceutical has helped many people, and they have hurt people along the way unintentionally and intentionally. Again, this is a shared responsibility - mainly between the government, pharma, and employers have a role too. Healthy people make productive workforces and healthy communities - economically and socially.

Neutral

While I agree a strong military is 'a way', I believe that economic ties/strong trading partners is a better way. I believe this because strong economic ties makes conflict 'mutually' destructive to ones' financial well-being.

Disagree

I think policy changes are in order. I believe processing rules need to be changed to better handle legal claims effectively and reduce unauthorized crossings. Additionally, we can hire more immigration judges to process cases more efficiently. We can also utilize technology to better monitor remote areas and cargo/vehicle lanes. And, at all times treat people, especially women/children/seniors with dignity and respect during the entire process.

Disagree

Again, at all times, Human Beings/Children/Women/Elderly/etc. deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Denying funds damage community safety, and their are other ways to reach compliance goals - such as adjusting their cooperation framework to match specific statutory limits [honoring warrants signed by a judge vs administrative requests.]

US Law already speaks to family based immigration, employment based immigration, humanitarian protection, and other who follow the immigration process, medical checks, background checks, etc. At the same time, we have a duty to ensure the process is effective and efficient, and streamed line so that it is not confusing or over burdensome.

Neutral

I believe in the 'Golden Rule', treat people right, the way they should be treated - be it a religious tradition/value or core moral principles. There has to be a general understanding. With this type of general understanding, no one would have to ask whether or not we deny funding to a city in order to starve other human beings for immigration compliance. Instead, a more moral alternative way would be sought for immigration compliance.

Agree

Yes. Human beings should be able to find jobs, homes, schools, etc., and live without worrying about being discriminated against.

I am a believer in Christ. I value every Human Being. I believe we are all equal in value.

Strongly Agree

Strongly Agree

The national popular vote/individual citizens vote should determine the President of the US.

Yes, according to the US National Security [FBI/DHLS] racially motivated violent extremism [white supremacy] one of the most lethal domestic terrorism threats to the American homeland.

Somewhat Liberal

I am a blend between somewhat liberal and moderate. I prefer more of a balanced approach to addressing economic, social and environmental issues - a practical compromise with a moral compass - so that all human beings are treated with dignity and respect - while balancing free-market growth with some government oversight for public/environmental safety.

I have attended multiply town halls regarding data centers, and the harm that they bring to communities from air, noise and water pollution to its effects on nature/wildlife. I am in support of economic growth but not at the expense of severely harming human life, nature, etc. I am part of the advisory board for East Central Indiana Small Business Development Center with Zina Bartle - where I focus on youth entrepreneurship, which helps to break the cycle of poverty, via the National Lemonade Day Program, etc. in Madison County

I am qualified by education, experience, and most of all because I care about Human Beings first - over profit.
