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

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

I'm opposed to abortion in any form, including chemical abortion.

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Health of mother, rape, incest.

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?

Zero federal funding for any abortion or pro-abortion organizations.


ECONOMY

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

Reduce taxes and reduce regulatory burden on small business and individuals.

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

No WAY!!


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

Government cannot infringe on our right to worship freely, or discriminate against Bible believing Christians.

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

Strongly Disagree


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.

C

C

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. Vitally important. They are the only democratic ally in the middle east, and especially given the rise of antisemitism across the country. It's a Biblical directive.

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

Lack of leadership and the infiltration of woke politics in the armed forces.

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

Strongly Agree

Stop all immigration immediately and develop a viable immigration policy.
