QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

We should trust pregnant people to make critical choices about their healthcare.

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

Choose not to answer

I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.

ECONOMY

What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?

Utah families will benefit for fewer taxes on essential items. Utah workers and families should not pay more taxes than billionaires.

What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?

The state of Utah has a balanced budget. However, I should choose to add spending to education and mental health services.

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

Choose not to answer

Under what circumstances can government close churches?

I’ve never seen a suggestions for the government to close a church. I assume if a church is hurting people, we should consider removing tax exemptions. I assume this is and should be rare.


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)Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded.

Did not answer

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

I do not believe the government, schools, or employers should require vaccinations at this time.


NATIONAL SECURITY

What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?

The state of Utah does not control national security.

I support the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement to pressure Israel to withdraw from occupied territories, remove the separation barrier in the West Bank, allow full equality for Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel, and promote the rights of Palestinian refugees.

Choose not to answer


IMMIGRATION

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

Choose not to answer

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

We should have systems to allow all legal immigrations


EDUCATION

I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.

Choose not to answer


VALUES

Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.

Choose not to answer

I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?

I would keep vote by mail, and I would limit voter suppression.


EQUALITY

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?

Racism is a public health issue. I believe that we have system racism in our world, and we should invest in redesigning our systems of power.

Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.

Choose not to answer

Which comes closest to your view? A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost.

Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost.
