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?

Case by case basis. Certified physician making the call and multiple levels of reporting.

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?

I don't believe the federal government has any role to play abortion is wrong except for rare relevant medical circumstances. I am not a physician but I do believe that murder is wrong.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

It means that government can not come in and close down churches and tell us how to pray. We are free people.

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.

C. We need to close the border and start focusing on America while we have the best military in the world their lives need to be preserved for our freedoms.

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?

I will always side with Israel. Gods people must be protected.

What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?

DEI, Transgender involvement, Vaccine mandates, mentally ill and poor leadership.


HEALTHCARE

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

Never no circumstance violation of civil rights. It is the persons choice to refuse.

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.

I think that all programs should be temporary it should never be completely government funded. All private options should be available.


ECONOMY

What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?

I would seek to repeal multiple facets of taxes. The amount of money taken from Americans is ridiculous. Stopping funding for special interest groups would be a start, but not enough. We need to have votes for funding.

Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.

Strongly Agree

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

No

DEI and ESG governance is profiling.


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?

Anyone who legally comes to the US and on a limited basis.


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.

Strongly 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?

SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED. LEAVE LEGAL GUN OWNERS ALONE.


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.
