QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Never. Should the life of an expectant mother be in danger, induced delivery or possibly c-section should be utilized to potentially save both lives - not abortion.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
ECONOMY
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
What is your position on the minimum wage?
I believe employers should be able to determine wages without the government interfering by setting a mandated pay scale. Employers should have the freedom to pay employees based on experience and skills.
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
Absolutely none.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
NONE!
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
NATIONAL SECURITY
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
YES. The scripture says those who bless Israel will be blessed by God - those who curse Israel will be cursed by God. Genesis 12:3
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
EDUCATION
I support a constitutional amendment that would allow Kentucky’s General Assembly to set up a school choice program to allow dollars to follow children to the school of their choice.
Strongly Agree
VALUES
I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
Parental rights are a fundamental right, and parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.
Strongly Agree
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from harm, including from gender ideology and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe that Bible is the infallible Word of God, all scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, instruction and righteousness (II Timothy 3:16). I believe God became flesh and dwelt among us - was born of a virgin in Bethlehem, died on Calvary, rose again and is coming back again. I believe the institution of marriage is between a man and a woman (Gensis 2:24), that children are valuable (Psalm 127:3) and that life begins at conception (Jeremiah 1:5) Jesus came to seek and save those who are lost (Luke 19:10) and whoever believes in him can have everlasting life. (John 3:16). I believe all things are possible with God (Matt 19:26) & to always pray for those in authority (I Tim 2:1-4).
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
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.
Neutral
Uncertain at this time as I’m researching the vast quantifies of information on this subject.
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
I support Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).
Strongly Disagree
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Nuclear fission.
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 and C
ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
To protect individual rights and ensure that people are free to live their lives as they choose as long as they don’t infringe upon the rights of others. To protect life, liberty, property, provide for national defense, and a system of justice. I believe in limited government for the betterment of our economy, and personal pursuits and businesses.
Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.
NO
Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.
NO
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.
Disagree
I do not support defunding the police departments. I believe in backing the blue. I believe that community programs can be utilized to work hand in hand with the departments to provide community education, services and programs for people in the community - whether faith based programs, or services already provided by donors or other support systems.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
I believe in constitutional carry, and elimination of gun free zones.
Faculty who are licensed to carry and have had ongoing training should be allowed to carry guns at school in order to respond to an active shooter situation.
Strongly Agree
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
Do you support the expansion of gambling in Kentucky?
No
