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

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?

Risk to the mother’s health. Or viability of the fetus is compromised.

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?

No


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

A true division of both.

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

Strongly 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.

D

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?

A permanent cease fire and peace deal must be reached and I will lead the efforts when elected.

What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?

Wokeism


HEALTHCARE

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

None

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.

Addressing healthcare is crucial, and ensuring coverage for the 26 million uninsured Americans is a priority. A comprehensive approach involves reining in insurance costs, regulating pharmaceutical companies, and redirecting funds from foreign aid to bolster domestic healthcare initiatives. Striking a balance between industry regulations and accessibility is key to achieving a more inclusive healthcare system.


ECONOMY

What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?

Support policies that focus on lower taxes, reduced government spending, and regulatory reforms. Advocating for pro-business initiatives and promoting economic growth.

Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.

Strongly Agree

Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?

No


IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Agree

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

Only those who enter from preset points of entry and comply with all terms and conditions of their temporary residency.


EDUCATION

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

Strongly Agree

I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.

Strongly Agree


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.

Strongly Disagree

Back the Blue, more funding is needed


2ND AMENDMENT

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

None


JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY

The Supreme Court should be reformed to include more seats.
