QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Strongly Agree
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Choose not to answer
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
I think current abortion laws are right for this moment in history. I also think abortion questions are "gotcha" "hot-button" questions designed to trip up good candidates.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Disagree
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Agree
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
People who can afford to pay more taxes should do so in order to provide relief for working families.
Disagree
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
1. Stop the massive fraud going on (probably 10% of the budget) 2. Cut the bloated military budget 3. DOGE, DOGE, DOGE
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
It means the federal government should not force American citizens to follow a particular religion.
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.
B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options. BUT I have some unique ideas about healthcare and a great plan to solve this issue.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Strongly Disagree
Death panels? No thanks. That's not why we have government. Government is there to serve the people, not kill the people.
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 United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.
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?
I'm neutral on Israel like I'm neutral on most countries. I'm constantly told they are our greatest ally, but I don't remember them fighting wars side-by-side with us. So something doesn't quite add up here. Conversely, NATO is an obvious ally.
Islamic terrorism is a threat to the United States' national security.
Agree
IMMIGRATION
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Legal immigrants only. Doesn't matter what country they are from, but we must be able to vet them properly for security.
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Disagree
It should be massively cut back, but not eliminated. I think it's good to have a Dept of Education to agree on national standards that the states need to teach to, but it should be like 20 people...maybe a panel of experts along with former teachers.
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Agree
I also think we should stop funding education in other countries. Practice what we preach.
VALUES
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.
Strongly Agree
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
I think the federal government should stay out of defining marriage. If a state wants to define it, I think I'm OK with that.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Lifelong Catholic who attends church regularly. I believe in the Golden Rule - do unto others as you would have them do unto you. The older I get the more and more I see that Christianity is the way. Life is a difficult rat race...true Christians check out of that rat race and choose to focus on doing good. I admire that. I'm sure many other religions are somewhat similar.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
EQUALITY
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
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Solar with battery & nuclear
ABOUT YOU

NO
Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.
NO
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?
Conservative
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Strongly Agree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Gun rights are important but we can't have every nut or drug addict being able to buy a gun willy-nilly. I support commonsense checks on mental stability to protect public safety.
