QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
If the mother's life is at risk, as long as every option to save the unborn child has been exhausted.
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.
Choose not to answer
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
I believe this opens the door to euthanizing the elderly, disabled, or chronically ill.
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
What is your position on the minimum wage?
I believe that minimum wage jobs are supposed to be for entry level workers, such as students, and were never intended to be the main source of income. Increasing the minimum wage drives up consumer costs and forces businesses to automate or close.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
Under NO circumstances.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
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.
None of the above. Healthcare should be affordable and available to all, and it would be if it weren't for the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries that are so profit-driven. Medicaid and Medicare should remain available.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Under no circumstances. The decision to vaccinate or not should be made by the patient/parent/guardian and their personal physician.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
And others...
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Yes. First, the Bible says that God will bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse them. Second, they're our closest ally, and in this time of worldwide unrest we need to stand together.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Not just physically secure the border...we need to locate and deport everyone who crossed the border illegally.
EDUCATION
The state should fund education by allowing dollars to follow the child through programs which protect parents' freedom to choose their child's school – public, private, or homeschool.
Agree
VALUES
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
Parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.
Neutral
Under most circumstances, yes. But if a parent's decision is likely to actually harm their child, then no. For example, gender transition surgical procedures and hormone altering treatments must be unlawful for minor children, regardless of a parent's wishes.
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
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.
Strongly Agree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I'm a Christian and believe that the Bible is the Word of God, that God desires a relationship with us, and that our lives must point to Jesus.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.
Strongly Disagree
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
There are racists and racism is never acceptable. But I believe that the PROMOTION of the falsehood that the U.S. is widely racist is the real threat to domestic security.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
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
Which comes closest to your view? (Select all that apply) A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost. C) Stricter environmental laws undermine U.S. energy independence and deter development of reliable electricity sources. D) Climate change is real and requires urgent policy action.
None of the above. Stricter environmental laws and regulations that are based on the climate change agenda, and not on actual science, are only padding the bank accounts of the orgs that are promoting it. If you research legislation and regulations, and follow the money trail to special interest groups and campaign donations, you'll find a very lucrative money-making enterprise. Laws and regulations that focus on climate change hurt the economy and do nothing to protect the environment.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Nuclear and fossil fuels.
ABOUT YOU
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
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
The government is supposed to act on behalf of the people, maintain law and order, ensure a balance between individual rights and freedoms and society as a whole, provide/regulate public services, such as transportation, defense, etc., and promote public welfare.
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
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Strongly Disagree
I'm a retired police lieutenant who believes that even more funding should be directed to public safety agencies for hiring more officers, training, equipment, and pay/benefits.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
"Shall not be infringed."
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
Yes
Teachers who choose to be armed should also be trained to respond appropriately to a school shooter situation.
