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.
Strongly Agree
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
To save the life of mom
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?
This is now a state issue with no role for the federal government
ECONOMY
What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?
Reduce taxes and reduce government spending to drive down the prices of products
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?
Choose not to answer
In general, the answer is no environmental and social issues should not be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies. There are times like protecting land or water rights when social and environmental issues are the keys to public investing.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
it means the government should not establish a religion
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?
Private sector employers and education institutions should be free to set the terms of employment - admissions as long as they do not have a monopoly in a market. Government should not be allowed to require vaccinations.
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 We pay into Medicare thru payroll taxes so that must remain available.
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, spending of taxpayer funds should prioritize Americans interests.
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 a strategic ally in the Middle East
What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?
Military recruiters report that one of the major causes of the decline in military recruitment is the "majority of young adults being disqualified for service because of obesity, drugs, physical and mental health problems, misconduct, and aptitude.”
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?
The US should allow a limited number of religious and political refugees who can support their claims. A limited number of family and employee immigrants should also be allowed to immigrate. We must reform our immigration laws so that the rules are clear. We must close our borders to protect our neighborhoods. Only a country with secure borders can protect the value of citizenship.
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.
Neutral
Parents should control the education of their students. State and local governments should set standards and establish curriculum. The federal government should have a very limited role in public education, helping to spotlight and encourage the spread of best practices.
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
When couples decide to marry in the eyes of the God government should not have the authority to alter the definition. Couples should be able to marry in civil ceremonies.
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 a Christian who has been blessed to leave a Communist country where my family was persecuted for our beliefs and come to America where we are free to practice our religion without fear of intrusion by the government. However, over the last couple of years we have seen government attempt infringe on our ability to worship. This intrusion must be stopped, and I will fight hard to protect our religious freedoms. I value the freedoms we have in America and will fight hard to protect our ability to pursue our American Dream.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
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
I am the father of a young lady and would not want her opportunities limited by allowing biological males to compete her in in sports. Nor would I want her exposed to biological males in women's spaces like bathrooms or locker rooms.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Disagree
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
The most reliable and affordable energy sources vary be region. We need to support oil, gas, coal, solar, hydro and nuclear energy sources to ensure Americans have affordable reliable energy. The government should not pick winners or 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?

What do you think is the general purpose of government?
Through the consent of the governed the purpose of the federal government is to protect the country from invasion and protect citizens' inalienable rights.

No
Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.

JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY
The Supreme Court should be reformed to include more seats.
Strongly Disagree
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?
Having lived in a communist country I know how dangerous it is when governments take guns from citizens who are no longer able to defend themselves. I see very little need for the government to restrict gun ownership.
