OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
If by "elective" it is meant that the life of the mother is not in peril, then no "elective" abortion should be legal. Only when the life of the mother is in peril should an abortion be legal.
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
The drugs should only be legal to proscribe for abortions when the life of the mother is in peril, however if current law allows for other abortions with these drugs, essential safety standards such as in-person consultation with medical doctors and reporting of reactions and outcomes should be required.
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
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?
A free market alone should determine a minimum wage for working adults.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
Only when there is an immediate safety concern (structural building code violation, an active shooter, possibility of an explosion due to a broken gas line ect.) and should be free to open again once that immediate safety concern is resolved.
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.
Government entanglement in healthcare is why the cost of healthcare has exploded. We must begin the process of moving to a free market in healthcare, this will make healthcare affordable again.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Absolutely never.
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?
Our relationship with Israel is critically important to the United States. Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East and is a productive ally to our nation in that region.
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
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
Government should not be involved in marriage whatsoever. People should be free to create any social contract they desire and call it (or not call it) what they want.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a born again Christian and ordained Southern Baptist minister. I believe the role of government is very narrow, yet powerful within its appointed spheres. Government exists to safeguard the Life, Liberty and Property of individuals, and nothing else.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
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?
Depending on how the term racism is being used, it could be a threat, but it currently is not a significant one in America. Any sort of profound division rooted in tribalism or hatred will result in the downfall of any people. We must seek to become a melting pot once again.
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.
Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs, interferes with the rights and freedoms of people to make use of their property as they desire, and they hurt the economy.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
The free market will determine the answer to this, it is not for elected officials to pontificate or prognosticate the answer to this question. A free market will quickly show us which energy source is most reliable for future growth.
ABOUT YOU

Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.
No.
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
To safeguard the Life, Liberty and Property of the individual.
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?
Very Conservative
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?
