OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE*
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Strongly Agree
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Strongly Agree
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
None
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Neutral
I support providing affordable or free reproductive healthcare and family-planning services to low-income and uninsured individuals. These essential services should include preventive care, screenings, contraception, education, and support for healthy pregnancies. However, I do not support using taxpayer dollars to fund abortions.
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Agree
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
People who can afford to pay more taxes should do so in order to provide relief for working families.
Disagree
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
Did not answer
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
Prohibits Congress from establishing an official religion or favoring one faith over another. It protects every American's right to practice their faith freely - or to practice no religion at all - without government interference.
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) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.
Unfortunately, too many Americans remain underinsured. Many do not qualify for free or low-cost coverage, cannot afford a private insurance policy, or work for an employer that does not offer healthcare benefits to all employees. I do not support in increasing taxes on hardworking Americans. However, higher-earning companies should be required to provide their employees with access to affordable healthcare benefits. No one who works hard should be left without reasonable access to medical care.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Strongly 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.
C
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?
Supporting Israel isn't political - it's biblical. As a Christian I stand with Israel.
Islamic terrorism is a threat to the United States' national security.
Strongly Agree
IMMIGRATION
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Legally. A legal immigrant is a foreign national who has been granted lawful permission to enter and reside in the U.S.
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Agree
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Agree
VALUES
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.
Strongly Agree
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Neutral
The government has no right to dictate whom a consenting adult may marry or whether they may divorce. These are deeply personal decisions that should be made by the individuals involved - not by politicians or government officials.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a Christian
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
EQUALITY
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
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Coal
ABOUT YOU
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
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?
Conservative
I am an independent conservative guided by faith, freedom, personal responsibility, limited government, fiscal accountability, and respect for the Constitution. I will stand firmly for my principles while thinking independently, listening to the people, and putting West Virginians ahead of party politics.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Strongly Agree
The government has a fundamental responsibility to protect children from abuse, neglect, exploitation, and violence.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
The Second Amendment protects the individual right of law-abiding Americans to keep and bear arms while recognizing that a well-regulated militia is necessary to the security of a free state. I will defend this constitutional right and oppose efforts to infringe upon it.
