QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

I am a firm believer in protecting life. I believe life begins at conception and the unborn need a voice. Abortion should be very uncommon. I'm proud of the laws Texas has established to be a defender of life.

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

Life begins at conception. I am committed to standing for life in Texas. I do not support chemical abortion drugs under any circumstance.

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

Agree

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

Strongly Disagree


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?

I am a supporter of free markets. I believe the markets will determine appropriate wages for both employers and employees.

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

No

Companies that participate in discrimination should not benefit from public investment. In my opinion, ESG ratings can be a form of discrimination. I would not support public investment in companies that utilize ESG ratings as the primary standard for performance.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Under what circumstances can government close churches?

Based on the traditional definition of 'churches', no circumstances should allow the government to close churches.

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

Disagree


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.

C.

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

Vaccinations with proven and constant testing should be the standard in our society. Rushed vaccines without testing should be optional at most.


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. Israel is our ally and need to be treated as such. An attack on Israel is an attack on America.


IMMIGRATION

The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.

Strongly Agree

Close the border to illegal crossings. Immigration done lawfully is vitally important and a bedrock of our country. Illegal immigration is just that...Illegal.


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

Families should have the right, option, and financial support to choose what is best for their children. Families should not be punished for the zip code they live in and be forced to attend schools that fail their children. Choice is the key; The dollars need to follow so families have that choice.


VALUES

Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.

Strongly Agree

Parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.

Strongly Agree

Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.

Strongly Disagree

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

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I'm a born and raised Catholic and choose to practice as such.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

Identification is needed to get on an airplane. It's not unreasonable to provide the same to vote.

States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.

Strongly Disagree


EQUALITY

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?

No. Racism is indeed a reprehensible issue, but it does not constitute a direct threat to domestic security. It is primarily a matter of personal accountability rather than a systemic crisis.

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

Strongly Disagree

Biological males should not be allowed to participate in women's sports or occupy biological women's spaces whether it be bathrooms, locker rooms, sorority houses, women's shelters, or prison.

Strongly Agree


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Which comes closest to your view? (Select all that apply) A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost. C) Stricter environmental laws undermine U.S. energy independence and deter development of reliable electricity sources. D) Climate change is real and requires urgent policy action.

A.

What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?

Oil & Natural Gas are the most reliable source for energy in the state of Texas. Nuclear is worth evaluation. Wind & Solar as part of the plan are viable, but they should not be subsidized in a manner that discourages free markets.


ABOUT YOU

Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.

No.

Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.

No.

What do you think is the general purpose of government?

The government is a vital function to protect our citizens but it should not overreach. The government must enforce law & order and not impede free markets & capitalism.

When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and religious liberty, which of the following best describes you overall?

Conservative


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.

Strongly Disagree

I am a firm supporter of law and order. Police departments need the current funding levels as well as additional funding to keep our communities safe. I am in support of community programs as well but not at the expense of our police departments.


2ND AMENDMENT

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

None.

Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?

Yes

So long as they meet requirements to carry a firearm.
