OTHER INFORMATION
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.
Choose not to answer
It is wrong to facilitate a drug that kills unborn babies.
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Under NO circumstance it should be allowed.
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?
I am a constitutionalist. The U.S. Supreme Court has sent this issue back to the States, now it is a State issue, not a Federal issue. I will support any legislation to save the life of unborn babies.
ECONOMY
What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?
Reduce the tax and families with children should receive income tax benefits. If a mother decides to stay home and raise the children then that family should receive an exemption/tax benefit.
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 do not believe our Founding Fathers intended the separation of Church and State as we interpret it today. History reveals that in the First Continental Congress, when our Founding Fathers came together to create the Constitution of the United States, they fasted and prayed for three days seeking God's help.
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?
Under NO circustance it should be required.
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, Israel is our only Ally and only Democracy in the Middle East. The United States is founded on Judeo-Christian principles. We worship the same God.
What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?
Schools are teaching an anti American agenda that kills patriotism. Covid and Mandatory vaccination laws played a big role. People are losing faith in U.S. leadership. The possibility of physical harm or violent death, the risk of PTSD, Inadequate compensation, toxic leadership, and limited freedom are the other reasons.
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?
Only legal immigrants.

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.
Strongly Agree
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.

Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.

Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Strongly Disagree
