QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Choose not to 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.
Choose not to answer
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Threat to life of the mother and when a woman is forced (rape).
Does the federal government have a role to play in limiting abortion, and if so what federal steps and/or federal legislation would you support?
In the absence of federal Constitutional authority, this is a state issue.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
There should be no government established or favored religion.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

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.
I suppose B). We can't be the world's police force, and tyranny is too much in the eye of the beholder, but history has shown us that we can't ignore situations that threaten the nation's security.
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.

Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Of course it is. Israel is a democracy in the midst of non-democratic countries that would destroy it. The United States must also consider that Israel has atomic weapons that could be used as a last resort.
What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?
Morale
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Students at public schools should be vaccinated against common communicable diseases, but there should be alternative educational opportunities when parents or students object to vaccination requirements.
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 cover my view about healthcare. In a very short statement, government should ensure that health care is available and affordable for everyone, but it should not be deciding how individuals pay for health care, except to allow a tax deduction for medical savings accounts, or interact with health care providers.
ECONOMY
What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?
Tax and regulatory relief so that government would take less and prices could be reduced.
Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.
Choose not to answer
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
Choose not to answer
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Choose not to answer
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
I don't see it here, but the best long run solution to illegal immigration is to promote safety and freedom (economic and political) in countries from which people are trying to leave. This is not something that the U.S. can do alone.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Choose not to answer
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Choose not to answer
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.

VALUES
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Choose not to answer
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Choose not to answer
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Choose not to answer
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
My beliefs are Christian. Beyond that is not something I am going to discuss in a political setting.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Choose not to answer
The Electoral College should be abolished.
Choose not to answer
EQUALITY
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Choose not to answer
