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).

Choose not to answer

Planned Parenthood provides several other crucial health services for women, men, and children in our communities. Our communities must have access to affordable healthcare options.

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

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

An elective abortion should be allowed in cases of rape, incest, and for the health of the mother. I also think we must support new mothers and expecting mothers with the crucial care they need.

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 currently a state issue and should remain one.


ECONOMY

What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?

We must put an end to wasteful government spending. We saw an unacceptable rise in Government spending from Covid and we have not returned to pre-pandemic levels of spending years later. We need to budget responsibly.

Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.

Agree

What we need to focus on is the creation of high-paying long-term jobs.

Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?

No

Public entities have a responsibility to achieve the highest return on the Taxpayer's investment, period.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

America was a country founded on freedom of religion. That means everyone is free to practice their faith as long as it does not harm others.

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Disagree

No one should ever be in a position where the law makes moral or religious choices for them.


HEALTHCARE

Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?

Did not answer

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.

Did not answer


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.

The United States has always been a leader on the world stage and our influence has been crucial in combating and preventing potential global conflicts for decades. We must remain an influential force in the face of dangerous global uprisings.

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.

Agree

Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?

Israel is a key ally of the United States. Our relationship with Israel is mutually beneficial for global security and we must continue to provide support in the face of terrorist attacks against Israel.

What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?

I am a proud Veteran myself, and I am thankful for the opportunities the US Military allowed me.


IMMIGRATION

The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.

Agree

Open borders have caused a crisis within our country. We have no control over who or what is entering our country which has led to increased crime, drugs, demand for resources and so much more. We are less safe because of this and we must do more to secure the border and fund border patrol.

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

Did not answer


EDUCATION

I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.

Agree

I believe parents deserve to be involved in the education of their children, and allowing for more choice provides benefits to students, teachers and parents.

I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.

Neutral

Parents, local officials, and states know what is best for their students, not a bureaucrat sitting in a basement office in Washington. What is right for Delaware might not be what is right for Hawaii. Almost all decisions on education should be made at the state and local level, with parental involvement.


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.

Choose not to answer

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

Agree

Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.

Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

Did not answer


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

Voter ID is a common sense policy with widespread bipartisan support. If you need an ID to board a plane, buy a beer, drive a car, or cash a check, people can surely provide an ID to vote.

The Electoral College should be abolished.

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.

Agree


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

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

Neutral

What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?

We must pursue an all of the above energy policy that prioritizes lowering cost to consumers while continuing the very successful and voluntary emission reduction efforts of the past 30 years.


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?

Did not answer

What do you think is the general purpose of government?

Did not answer

Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.

No

Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.

No


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

Our police put their lives on the line for us every single day, and the idea that less police would make us more safe is backwards. Advocating for defunding the police is disqualifying for any candidate.


2ND AMENDMENT

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

I support the 2nd Amendment.
