QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
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
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
I stand with President Trump. It should be left up to the states to decide.
Does the federal government have a role to play in limiting abortion, and if so what federal steps and/or federal legislation would you support?
Yes, federal funds should not be used to perform abortions, especially not on military bases or through foreign aid.
ECONOMY
What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?
I would make the Trump-era tax cuts permanent. Additionally, I support legislation that simplifies the tax code, reduces burdensome regulations, and excludes taxing gratuities and tips.
Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.
Strongly Agree
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
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
I believe our Founding Fathers wanted to avoid another Church of England that controlled government, and therefore created a wall of separation to keep the state and “church” as two separate entities that had no control of the other, but must also respect one another.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
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. - Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary.
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 United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger.
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. As a proud Jewish American who has visited Israel a dozen times, celebrated family milestones there, and served on local, regional, and national boards in support of Israel, my support for Israel is unwavering and unconditional. The U.S. should have the same stance and continue to recognize Israel’s Biblical importance as well as its status as our only true and long-term ally in the Middle East.
What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?
As soon as the military began to embrace DEI, it’s no surprise that the people DEI claims are automatically racist, don’t want to join. And the drop in military recruitment numbers is mostly based on the decline of white males who are not joining because they don’t want to be discriminated against.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
We are a nation of immigrants and should allow people to come to this country as long as they do it legally and are vetted for criminal activity. Amnesty is never acceptable.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
VALUES
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Agree
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, 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 am Jewish and attend a local Chabad synagogue in Boca Raton. Previously, I’ve served on the board of two synagogues, one Jewish day school, raised my children to embrace our faith and even celebrated the Bar Mitzvah for my son in Israel.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
The Electoral College should be abolished.
Strongly Disagree
EQUALITY
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
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Strongly Disagree
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Oil, natural gas, hydroelectricity, coal, and nuclear. The government shouldn't be in the business of picking winners and losers.
ABOUT YOU
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
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
The role of government is limited to the powers it is granted by the people and enumerated in the Constitution and our laws. It includes protecting individual rights, ensuring national security, and providing essential services that individuals and markets cannot effectively manage alone such as interstate commerce.
Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.
NO

JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY
