OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Strongly Agree
I will protect human life but I also have great compassion for those who do not feel as I do
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Choose not to answer
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
That is a question between a Doctor and patient.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Disagree
Those who support abortions can donate to any pro abortion group they chose but we the people who do not support should not be forced to give any of our money to something we do not believe in. If you want it - you alone should pay for it. We pay enough taxes for things we have not voted for.
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Strongly Agree
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Agree
Free enterprise leads to economic prosperity - a man has a right to begin a business, to develop it and to have all the findings and technologies that come from it. We have investment, resources gained - employment = prosperity. As an entrepreneur - one can keep or sell We should have the right to create - to trade within it or the right to sell it.
People who can afford to pay more taxes should do so in order to provide relief for working families.
Disagree
Taxes should be levied justly with not one criteria favored over the other. The rich can afford taxes and for those in a lower tax bracket it becomes a burden - but we all pay something. If you overtax the rich those who own companies - will they pick up and leave our state - taking with them the very places of employment people are dependent on for their jobs.
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
All bills must be completely read line by line before voting on We should not allocate to give any money to foreign countries until we first can sort through the needs of the American people - my slogan is PUTTING THE PEOPLE FIRST We must go after the Fraud and corruption and start with Congress and Senate - lobbyists are very influential to the detriment of Congress
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
We cannot call good evil and evil good - I cannot vote for anything that would destroy values of the common man - we each have our own walk and we should not cause one another to stumble
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
Isaiah 9 clearly states that "the government is upon His shoulders" - governmental rule belongs to the Lord and we are to emulate just that - do to others as you would want done to you - serve the people and govern with justice to all - everyone knows right from wrong - that is why the wrong is done in darkness -we are to be held accountable for all our actions
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.
B and C
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
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
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 has been our ally for many years - it is the only democracy in the Middle East
Islamic terrorism is a threat to the United States' national security.
Strongly Agree
IMMIGRATION
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Those with appropriate identification and expressed desire to assimilate with the American People - if you hate anything about America - please stay away -DESIRE TO WORK AND NOT REQUIRE WELFARE OR FOOD STAMPS America should keep her borders closed until America can sort through the Biden border disaster
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
Education belongs to the parents - they should have a final say in what is being taught to their children - the system has grown too large - the curriculum has literally become stumbling blocks to the children - anytime the government is involved it is too big and too chaotic. Lets get back to basics - and allow more money to flow into the classrooms. We want education not indoctrination from our schools. America does not want government schools.
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Agree
VALUES
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.
Strongly Agree
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 am for God, for Family, for Life and for Country. It is the foundation of my campaign.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
VOTER ID - SAME DAY VOTING AND SAME DAY RESULTS
EQUALITY
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
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
The Lord has provided enough oil (not fossil fuels) and water to supply all our needs - we just need to drill baby drill

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?

CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Agree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
most people who are gun owners are not the problem - they know how to care for them and are respectful of law and order. The problems are the extreme who steal guns and cause harm - the gun incidents we see are from the extreme faction. There should be no restrictions on gun ownership - it is not the gun, it is the one who pulls the trigger who is the problem. The child can't blame the pencil because he fails the exam.
