OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
If you facilitate the death of children, you should not receive taxpayer money.
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Never
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Strongly Agree
This is what Scripture teaches and is how our government should operate.
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Agree
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Strongly Agree
ECONOMY
What is your position on the minimum wage?
The minimum wage distorts the free market, preventing the voluntary exchange of services. It is an economic fact that minimum wage laws increase both unemployment rate and inflation.
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
The voluntary exchange of goods and services is the foundation of a healthy economy.
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
1. Prioritize efficiency within our schools, administration down. 2. Promote schools which leverage resources efficiently, while course correcting schools and districts which needless spend public funds. 3. Focus on quality education, with the goal of producing an educated youth ready to conquer college and the workforce.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
"Separation of Church and State" is the most abused phrase in our political system. First of all, the phrase does not appear in any founding document of our country - including the Declaration of Independence, the United State Constitution, the Bill of Rights, or even the Federalist Papers. The term was coined by Thomas Jefferson in a letter, where he discusses separating the Church from the influence of the State, not the other way around. The Church SHOULD have influence over the State.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
"Bake the Cake" is immoral. It implies that a customer has control of a business, and the owner is a slave to the customer.
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.
C
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Strongly Disagree
Can only lead to government overreach.
NATIONAL SECURITY
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?
Israel is our most critical ally in the Middle East.
IMMIGRATION
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree
Illegal immigration is a drain on our country and is the cause of a significant amount of violent crime.
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
The Federal Government was never meant to control state education. The Department of Education is an inefficient agency which seeks to override state's rights, born out of the Carter administration. I support President Trump's plan to end this 45 year disaster.
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Strongly Agree
Education should stay local and free of foreign influence.
VALUES
Government should recognize and support the fundamental right and essential duty of parents to direct their child's health and educational well-being.
Strongly Agree
Outside of the Church, family is the most important institution, and it should be protected at all costs.
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.
Strongly Agree
There's no such thing as a transgender child. These children (or their parents) need help. "Affirming" gender dysphoria only causes more harm.
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Strongly Agree
I support the expansion of gambling in my state.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a regular church attending Christian, who believes in fundamental Biblical values.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
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
Keep men out of women's sports and private spaces.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Strongly Disagree
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Oil and gas is the predominant source of energy , reliably fueling the needs of Texans.
ABOUT YOU

CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?
Protect the public.
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Strongly Agree
Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.
Strongly Agree
