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
Except Title X Grants
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.
Strongly Agree
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Rape, incest and when the expect mother's health is in danger.
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?
I am fine to leave it up to the states to make their own laws according to the will of their residents. As a man, I can never know the stress, the anxiety and other physical and emotional issues an pregnant woman is experiencing. As an engineer, my decision is based on the actual knowledge. Therefore, if an abortion-related bill was to presented to the U.S. Senate, it must be introduced by a female Senator. - I will surely vote against any bill forbidding abortion in case of rape, incest and when expectant mothers’ life is in danger. - I also will not make abortion easier than the Supreme Court ruling in 1973 (Roe.v.Wade).
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
There must not be a national religion. The state shall not interfere with the church internal affairs.
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.
B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny.
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Yes. this is the only democratic ally in the region and it helps check the balance of power in the Middle East.
What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?
1. Lack of trust in military leadership through several costly interventions. 2. Obesity has become a health barrier when recruiting new enlistees. 3. The Army requirement of single parents must relinquish guardianship of their children for their initial enlistment.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Government and employers can require vaccinations from their employees if it adversely impacts co-workers and/or customers. Schools can only administer vaccinations with parental consent. However, school may refuse students without vaccinations.
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.
B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options
ECONOMY
What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?
I would keep the same Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 for ordinary tax payers.
Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.
Agree
The current student loan system is ill-designed. I would prefer a merit-based reimbursement of tuition fee. Students who have successfully completed their coursework will receive reimbursements.

Strongly Agree

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
There are guidelines for legal immigration. Those who meet the requirements will be admitted. Based on national need the requirements can be changed and adopted accordingly.
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.
