QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Did not answer
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.
Did not answer
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Did not answer
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Did not answer
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?
Did not answer
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?
Never. The free exercise clause of the first amendment was vital to the ratification of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. However, if objective criminal conduct is occurring, the offending party should be held accountable. The remedy is not government closure of religious institutions.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Should religious schools which accept state funds be allowed to only admit families and students who agree to adhere to their statement of faith?
Did not answer
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.
We have a moral obligation to care for our fellow citizens. However, no one is entitled to their neighbor's labor. Medicare and Medicaid are long standing programs that help for the healthcare expenses if the elderly and poor. I do not believe that we are ever entitled to set number or amount of spending on these programs. We should fund the programs to the extent that the amount of spending is fiscally responsible. The ultimate goal should be expansion but to lift citizens out of poverty.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Never.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
It is well settled in the intelligence community that the Peoples Republic of China poses the single greatest geopolitical threat to the United States. FBI Director Wray recently said, “The greatest long-term threat to our nation’s information and intellectual property, and to our economic vitality, is the counterintelligence and economic espionage threat from China.”
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Israel and the United States are bound closely by historic and cultural ties as well as by mutual interests. Our shared Judeo-Christian values provides a unique bond. The United States has a strong national security interest in maintaining a safe and free Israel.
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.
Neutral
At the end of the day we all want our children to receive a quality education, whether in a traditional public, charter, or private school. However, tax dollars are a limited resource and should be spent on the most pressing needs first. Most folks have an issue with tax dollars subsidizing doctors and lawyers children's private school tuition. I share those concerns.
VALUES
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Strongly Disagree
In a free nation citizens have the right to lead their lives in a wide-variety of ways. However, fellow citizens are not required to subsidize others' life-style choices.
No healthcare diagnosis or treatment, whether mental, reproductive, or otherwise, should be given to a child without first receiving written consent from the parent unless an emergency situation arises risking immediate death.
Did not answer
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Did not answer
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Neutral
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Did not answer
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
Voting absentee by mail ballot should be limited to those meeting at least one of the following criteria: 1) 65 years of age or older on Election Day, 2) sick or disabled, 3) expecting to give birth within three weeks before or after Election Day, or 4) confirmed to be absent from the county of registration during voting.
Did not answer
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Did not answer
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Did not answer
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.
Did not answer
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.

Did not answer

Did not answer
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?
