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
Abortions should not be funded by the taxpayers.
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 agree with this statement
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Only in the rare cases of rape, incest, and the life of the mother.
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?
The Supreme Court has ruled this is a state issue. We can look at streamline adoption processes. We need to make it less expensive to raise children.
ECONOMY
What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?
The number one solution is tax reform. We must also remove any and all fraud, waste, and abuse within the federal government that Americans are forced to fund.
Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.
Strongly Agree
It is not fair to burden loan debt on others. This is also encouraging a lack of personal responsibility and a reliance on government aid.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
ESG regulations are not clearly defined. So as of now no.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
That the federal government should not be involved with religious affairs. Religious institutions should be allowed to operate independently without influence from political authorities.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
The federal government should not force a business to violate their religious beliefs.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Necessary and safe vaccines that have been fully tested and approved by the FDA can be required in schools to prevent the spread of disease. The COVID vaccine should not be required in schools.
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) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary.
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 United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger.
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
The CCP is an threat to the U.S. We must maintain and enhance our economic strength with technological advancements and a skilled workforce. The CCP should not be allowed to buy land in the U.S.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Yes, Israel is an essential and reliable ally of the United States and one of our most important strategic partner in a volatile region.
What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?
Military recruitment is way down and the Biden administration is only making it worse. Allowing leftist policies to continually be injected into military training and curriculum has driven people away.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
We must secure the border immediately. We must immediately allow the border patrol to do their jobs by monitoring our border, and we must finish the wall. We cannot incentivize illegal immigration by releasing illegals into the country never to be seen again.
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
The U.S. has thrived from legal immigration over many years. It should be done lawfully through the correct process. The federal government must also make it easier to expedite skilled and law abiding immigrants into our country.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
There is not a one-size-fits-all solution for the education of our children. School choice gives empowerment to parents and students, addresses diverse learning styles, and encourages innovation and improvement.
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
Yes, this would remove waste and abuse from our federal government, eliminating the DOE would bring back local control and decision making while reducing bureaucracy.
VALUES
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Agree
The Supreme Court has decided this issue and the federal government will not interfere with that.
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
Children must not be exposed to abuse, gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Strongly Disagree
I do not agree with this statement.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a christian.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
No person should be able to vote without I.D. This is a very clear and simple step to reducing voter fraud.
The Electoral College should be abolished.
Strongly Disagree
Absolutely not. The Electoral College ensures every state has a voice in the presidential process.
EQUALITY
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
I do not agree with CRT. The U.S. is the most free and prosperous nation on the globe.
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
I agree with this statement. It is unfair to make women compete against men. It causes an unlevel playing field and could result in serious injury to the woman.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Strongly Disagree
This is not an immediate threat and does not require taxpayer dollars and a rewiring of our everyday lives.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Natural Gas
ABOUT YOU
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?
Very Conservative
I am a Conservative who believes in God, country, and family.
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
The government's purpose is to establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty. A government should be for the people, by the people. Its purpose is to serve those who choose them to represent the people.
Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.
No
Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.
No
JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY
The Supreme Court should be reformed to include more seats.
Strongly Disagree
The Supreme Court should not be packed. This would create a slippery slope of further packing and judicial activism.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Strongly Disagree
I do not support defunding the police. Police officers should be fully funded and empowered and encouraged to do their jobs.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
The Constitution is very clear that the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. With more safeguards comes less freedom
