OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
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
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
In certain rare circumstances where the mother's life is in imminent danger
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?
The government does have a role in limiting abortion, and I support measures such as enacting federal bans on late-term abortions, implementing parental notification or consent laws, funding restrictions for organizations that provide abortion services, and promoting alternatives and support services for pregnant women.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
The separation of church and state is essential for preserving religious freedom. Individuals should have the right to practice their faith without government interference or coercion.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
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.
The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger.
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?
Israel is the most reliable ally in the Middle East.
What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?
Potential causes include economic factors, changing demographics, perceptions of military service and culture, strain of deployment, and compensation.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Balancing public health with individual liberties is crucial. In normal conditions, individuals deserve autonomy. Mandatory vaccinations, during emergencies, should be based on sound scientific evidence allowing reasonable medical/religious exemption
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.
Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. We need to stop the drive towards the government takeover of healthcare.
ECONOMY
What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?
As a Certified Public Accountant, my approach would include: Tax Reform; Lower Income Tax Rates; Capital Gains Tax Reduction; Estate Tax Reforms; Small Business Incentives; Deduction and Credit Enhancements
Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.
Agree
I support targeted loan forgiveness for specific groups, such as those facing financial hardship, veterans, or individuals in certain public service professions.
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
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
My stance on immigration aligns with both compassion and the rule of law. I believe in a secure border while recognizing the biblical call to welcome the stranger. Immigration policies should prioritize Legal Channels, Family Reunification, Merit-Based Immigration, Humanitarian Efforts, Protecting National Security, Temporary Worker Programs, and Pathways to Legal Status.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Agree
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?
I support Second Amendment rights for law-abiding citizens while addressing public safety concerns. Rather than imposing new restrictions, I advocate for enforcing existing laws and tackling root causes of gun violence. I support responsible gun ownership through education, training, and storage practices. Strengthening mental health services, enhancing background checks, and targeting illegal firearms trafficking are key components of my approach to reduce gun violence and ensure public safety.
JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY
The Supreme Court should be reformed to include more seats.
Strongly Disagree

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.
Strongly Agree

Strongly Agree
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Strongly Disagree

ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree

Strongly Disagree
EQUALITY
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
