OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
In November 2023, the State of Ohio conducted a statewide referendum on the question of abortion which will result in constitutional guarantees for abortion. While I campaigned vigorously against Issue 1 (knocked on >1,000 doors), we didn't win and access to abortion is now constitutionally guaranteed in our State.
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
Women's health shouldn't be risked, especially if it's simply to promote left-wing political priorities.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
Canada has shown us the barbarity of euthanasia laws.
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?
Creating high-paying jobs should be the goal of all legislators. That shouldn't be done by simply stipulating a high minimum wage. Creating a healthy economy, promoting vocational education, making higher ed affordable are all more sustainable ways.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
Pensions and investments should never be risked based on someone else's subjective opinion of "social justice"
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
"Can" - in times of national emergency, according to law, apparently. "Should" - never. As we saw during COVID, it was deemed enough of a national emergency to close churches, but not enough of an emergency to close casinos. This should never have happened.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly 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.
I have lived under universal healthcare and it is a terrible model which results in subpar health outcomes.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
I believe that long-standing childhood vaccination programs (smallpox, rubella etc.) have been extremely beneficial in eradicating diseases such as polio, TB etc. I don't believe that mandating the COVID vaccine was beneficial or ethical
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?
As the only fully-fledged democracy in the Middle East, Israel is a critical ally in a region where the USA has interests. America needs friends and allies, and the first place it should always look, is to those countries with whom she shares values.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
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
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
With the proviso that the parent isn't abusive!
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.
Choose not to answer
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I was born and raised Catholic, and a practicing Catholic today. I am a conservative Republican and believe in limited government, low taxation, individual liberty, pro-family values and 2A rights.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Disagree
States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.
Choose not to answer
I don't know what this initiative is. I support the constitution of the USA as it stands.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Racism should be stamped out.
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.
As a conservative, I obviously believe in conserving our resources and promoting a healthy environment. Current climate change policies are not rooted in science and their effects will harm humans rather than "save the planet." We need to rethink the radical and dangerous climate change policies of the left.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Nuclear energy is reliable, clean and abundant. Natural gas is also growing in supply especially here in Ohio.
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?
I believe in limited government which should carry out its constitutional duties - keep us safe, protect our rights, serve the people.
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.
Choose not to answer
It is too general a statement to blindly agree or disagree with. While I generally support strong policing, local jurisdictions are often in a better place to make budget allocations like this. Overall, I support funding the police. I do not agree with "Defund the Police" at all.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
I support the 2A whole-heartedly.
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
Yes
