OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE*
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
To save the physical life of the mother.
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 believe in the sanctity of human life from conception to natural death; therefore, chemical abortion drugs should be banned also.
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
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
None. Freedom of religion applies to Christian denominations. Modern, liberal vanacular has changed the meaning of religion to include non-Christ based religions.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
NATIONAL SECURITY
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?
Very important. Those who bless Israel shall be blessed but those who curse her shall be cursed
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.
Closer to “D”. Government messes up everything it touches that it does not have the authority to do under the CONSTITIONAL.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
A person should choose for themselves when to take a vacine and have authority over that choice for minor children.
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?
Government imposed Minimum wages have no basis in Constitutional authority, but thankfully are a mute point currently as inflation has driven almost all wages well above “mandated” pay.
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
Close the border to illegal aliens AND deport those here illegally all the way back to the middle of the country they came from.
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.
Strongly Agree
And change school board elections to be held in Republican / Democrat / etc. primaries so more people can investigate who these people really are.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Strongly Disagree
I back the Blue. Let them do their job and get rid of liberal D.A.s
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Age 18 to purchase and be able to purchase anything police would carry as a personal defense weapon.
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
Yes
Provide training for any teacher who chooses to carry and be able to protect his/her students.
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?
Protect our property and our God given Rights.
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
The Republican Party of Texas has nearly 40 pages of platform items that are almost all good ideas on how to improve civil government and reduce its size.
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.
Strongly Agree
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.
A Christian, saved by grace by the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross.
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?
Reverse racism is a threat.
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.
“C”
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Natural Gas, Coal and Nuclear. Remove tax payer funded subsidies that favor one form of energy over another.
