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
These drugs should meet safety standards and require reporting on reactions and outcomes; however, they should only be used in cases involving rape, incest, or saving the mother's life.
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Only in the case of rape, incest, or saving the mother's life.
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, the states should decide.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
All Americans have the right to believe in whatever they want to believe in without the government intruding. This country was founded on religious freedom.
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.
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, because Israel is one of our greatest allies.
What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?
President Biden is not promoting patriotism and has not put America first. This has caused fewer people to enlist.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Under no circumstances should they be allowed to require 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.
C
ECONOMY
What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?
We need to be energy independent so that we can stop the high inflation rate which is eating away at everyone's monthly income. We need to review our tax policies and possibly simplify them. The government also needs to be more fiscally responsible.
Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.
Strongly Agree
If you sign up for a student loan, you need to pay it not put the burden on the American taxpayer. It's an investment in yourself. It's unfair for those who didn't attend college or who paid their way through school to be responsible for someone else's debt.
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?
We have a system that allows people to come here legally. We just have to follow the laws that are already in place. Crossing the border illegally does not give illegal aliens the rights that people that follow the laws are entitled to.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.

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
2ND AMENDMENT

People who have mental health issues should not be allowed to purchase or own guns. Severe penalties should be imposed against people who commit mass shootings and/or heinous crimes, making the consequences fit the crime.
JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY
The Supreme Court should be reformed to include more seats.
Strongly Disagree

Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.

Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
