QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

In circumstances when the mother's life is in extremis or the fetus is not determined to be medically viable.

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

Chemical abortion should be disallowed.

I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.

Strongly Disagree

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

Strongly Agree

They should be subsidized by the fed, state, or local governments.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Under what circumstances can government close churches?

In the event of natural disasters and acts of war excluding the churches that provide shelter and services for first responders.

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Neutral

It is based on varying circumstances. For example, Publicly traded companies, vs. private business.

Should religious schools which accept state funds be allowed to only admit families and students who agree to adhere to their statement of faith?

Yes

The State would have already been aware of the school's statement of faith prior to choosing to fund it. They do not have the right to determine the schools admission's policy. The State should be funding private education.


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?

Yes, As a political ally, Israel is the only representative democratic government in the middle east.


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.

Option B.

Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?

Under no circumstances with the exception of the vaccinations that were required prior to the pandemic. Additionally, there should not be any mandate by any employers.


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?

Minimum wage should be indexed to the current cost of living index.

Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?

No


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

with the single caveat that private schools should remain privately funded.


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.

Strongly Disagree


2ND AMENDMENT

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

Background checks, criminal and felony checks, and emotional crisis screening are a must.


ABOUT YOU

What do you think is the general purpose of government?

Constitutionally, the federal government is designed to regulate interstate and foreign commerce, declare war, provide for the national defense and regulate federal tax and spending policies. The State government has more latitude to regulate intrastate commerce, direct public education programs, and oversee state tax policy and spending. Its the State government that has the option to provide general welfare services for its citizens.
