OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Disagree
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Agree
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
The Roe standard used viability as the cutoff, approximately 25 weeks. Prior to Viability, no undue burden can prevent an abortion. The Anatomy Scan provides necessary information about the viability of the pregnancy and any decision would need to be made shortly after the 20 week scan. The life of the Mother would always be prioritized over the pregnancy. Doctors must provide the best information to the Mother and allow the mother to make an informed decision about how best to proceed if their health is at risk.
ECONOMY
Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.
Disagree
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Disagree
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
Balancing the percent those at the top of the income scale pay with those at the bottom. Capital Gains tax, Estate tax and carried interest loophole used by hedge funds are a few that should be adjusted
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
Disagree
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Disagree
What should be the relationship between the church and the state?
The ability to worship and attend religious services should be protected from interference by the government. The First Amendment says it plainly, Congress shall make no law affecting the establishment of religion.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Long standing precedent supported by the courts suggest vaccines can and should be required where the health and welfare of the society is threatened and the lives of individuals within society are at risk of grave or serious injury. The military has been and should be able to continue requiring vaccines, I personally received all the vaccines when I joined the military. Employers generally have the authority to take your blood and urine and fire you for something in your blood, and now right to work laws give employers the ability to fire at will. I agree that Employers can regulate their work environment.
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.
B. Provide a public option that allows basic services and fund rural hospitals
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.
B
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.
Neutral
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Agree
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Educate our citizens on the dangers of extremism and monitor criminal activity
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Agree
State and federal funds shall be denied to any public or private entity, such as a sanctuary city, that is not in compliance with immigration laws.
Disagree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Anyone. If they apply for citizenship, they should be given the opportunity to work and pay taxes and contribute to our society. We need immigrants to fill jobs
VALUES
Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Agree
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Christian
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Agree
If a photo ID is required then a Photo ID should be provided to everyone upon turning 18 and everyone should be automatically enrolled to vote.
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Mail ballots to every registered voter. provide drop boxes.
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Disagree
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Yes. Bigotry and racist behavior endangers innocent lives.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Agree
I worked for Baker Hughes and Drilled Horizontal Wells in several states. I think we should maximize our resources, oil and natural gas, but also develop the wind farms and solar panels. One thing that could be changed quickly that would help is eliminating waste water from being injected back into the ground. Recycling that waste water, used to help operate the tool, would help clean up the industry.
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.
Conservation generally and preservation for National Parks, no drilling in ANWR or off Bristol Bay, known areas with high biodiversity.

Decriminalize Marijuana. Bring Back the Child Tax Credit. Increase age limits and waiting periods on firearm purchases. Vet Tax capped at 10 percent.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Disagree
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Agree
