QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

None. Elective abortions are murder.

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

If chemical abortions are legal then I strongly agree. I do not agree that chemical abortions should be legal though.

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

Strongly Agree

Federal funds should only be spent to save children, not to murder them.

I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.

Strongly Disagree

These laws try to remove God from the equation and are often misused.


ECONOMY

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

Strongly Agree

What is your position on the minimum wage?

I do not agree with a minimum wage, I think the market should determine itself.

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

No

ESG should not be used at all.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Under what circumstances can government close churches?

None

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

Strongly Disagree


HEALTHCARE

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, however they should be much better regulated.

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

None


NATIONAL SECURITY

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 has great biblical significance and was supposed to be a place of refuge for all Jews after the holocaust. The US helped create the modern state of Israel and has a responsibility to help ensure its future.


IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Agree

We need to physically secure it, but we also need to strengthen and enforce our deportation laws. Additionally we need to fix our broken system that lets immigrants in legally. The legal route is often far too slow for great immigrants who will help our country.


EDUCATION

The state should fund education by allowing dollars to follow the child through programs which protect parents' freedom to choose their child's school – public, private, or homeschool.

Strongly Agree


VALUES

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

Strongly Agree

Parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.

Strongly Agree

Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.

Strongly Disagree

No money should be spent mutilating children’s bodies.

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

Technically since we all have free will, a government could alter this definition, but it would go directly against God’s word.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I believe that God created the world and everything in it and that he sent his son Jesus to die on the cross so that we could spend eternity in heaven with our father.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Disagree

There is probably an extremely minor exception for a special circumstances but otherwise photo ID should be required.

States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.

Strongly Disagree


EQUALITY

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?

Only the racism that the current administration is trying to create. Left to our own devices we are not an overtly racist society.

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

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

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

Probably a mix of Nuclear and Natural Gas


ABOUT YOU

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

What do you think is the general purpose of government?

To protect individual freedoms

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.

Strongly Disagree


2ND AMENDMENT

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

None

Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?

Yes

I believe that not all teachers would be best prepared to carry guns on school grounds, but I believe that more of them should carry. They carry at my children’s private school and I love it!
