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?
I believe that abortion should be allowed in the instances of rape and incest.
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?
No. I believe that the issue of abortion should be handled at the state level. I do not support a national total abortion ban.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
It means that the United States was founded as a secular nation where you are free to practice your faith or have none. I think that the separation of church and state means that the nation does not institute a state religion or prioritize on over another.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
If one doesn't believe in same-sex marriage they should not be forced to provide services for one if it violates their sincerely held religious beliefs.

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.

HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
I am still coming to an position on this issue.
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.
c
ECONOMY
What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?
We need to reduce taxes on working families. I also think that we need to become energy independent again which will help drive down inflation and the costs of goods.
Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.
