QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Did not answer
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.
Did not answer
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Did not answer
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Did not answer
What is your position on the minimum wage?
Did not answer
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
Did not answer
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
None.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Religious freedom is one of the founding values of our country and one of the most important rights the government was established to protect.
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.
D - Healthcare costs have skyrocketed since the government began subsidizing it, and every "fix" that has been instituted only makes healthcare less affordable. The government should eliminate impediments to free market solutions and incentivize private and non-profit safety nets for poor and indigent patients.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
None
NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Did not answer
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Did not answer
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
A nation without borders will cease to be a nation. America is and should be a welcoming Land of Opportunity, but as a nation, we must know who we’re giving those opportunities to and ensure that we are able to safely welcome them into our communities and neighborhoods. Instead, our broken border is an attack on our communities' safety and our nation's sovereignty.
EDUCATION
The state should fund education by allowing dollars to follow the child through programs which protect parents' freedom to choose their child's school – public, private, or homeschool.
Strongly Agree
Parents are responsible for the education of their children. My children have been educated in public school, Christian school, charter school, and home school, depending on the specific needs of each child at the time as determined by their mother and me. All parents should have the ability to make the same decisions for their children, regardless of their financial situation. The government should fund education, not direct it. That is the parents' sole responsibility.
VALUES
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Did not answer
Parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.
Did not answer
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Did not answer
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Did not answer
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe there is one true, creator God, who made all things and holds all things together. He revealed Himself and His divine plan for humankind through the inerrant, inspired Holy Scriptures. In the Bible we learn that all men have sinned, and as a result of that sin we are separated from God and destined for death. But because of His great mercy and love, He sent His only son, Jesus, to earth to live as a man and take upon Himself the punishment for our sins, death, and then He raised Him up on the third day, just as He promised. One day, every person will stand in judgment before God and will either experience the full wrath they are owed for all of their sins or eternal glory because of the gift of salvation earned by Jesus.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.
Did not answer
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
All hate is a threat to security and safety, but racism as a threat is way overblown by the media today.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
Critical Race Theory is fundamentally racist because it ascribes value based on race.
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.
Did not answer
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Which comes closest to your view? (Select all that apply) A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost. C) Stricter environmental laws undermine U.S. energy independence and deter development of reliable electricity sources. D) Climate change is real and requires urgent policy action.
Did not answer
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Did not answer
ABOUT YOU
Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.
Did not answer
Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.
Did not answer
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
To protect man's God-given rights, among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The government should be a terror to evil doers and a blessing to those who do good. (Romans 13:3)
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?
