OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Mothers Life, Rape or Incest.
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
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Disagree
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 own a small business and know the harm that minimum wage has caused for the consumer. The small businesses have to raise prices to meet the mandated minimum wage laws which in turn again hurts everyone.
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
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
Never
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. With limitations to how Medicaid is given to individuals. We should always take care of our elderly population with Medicare. Only Americans should be eligible to receive funding not Illegals.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
An individual should be educated on the different vaccines and given the choice to either take the vaccine or decline. A job should not depend on your vaccination status.
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?
Very Important. They are our eyes and ears on the ground in the Middle East. They have views much like the United States, a true democracy.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Close the border and deport all who have come into our Country illegally
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
The NM PED has failed us over and over. We must fight to change bad policies and allow parents and school board members to decide what is best for their children in the school district.
VALUES
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
I am worried for my grandchildren and the way this woke agenda will affect them in the future. We have to stand up for our children.
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
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
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I was raised in the Church of Christ where my parents, children and grandchildren still attend. We believe Christ is King and as for me and my household we will serve the Lord!
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.
Strongly Disagree
That would kill the voices in rural America.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
No, woke ideology and main stream media want this to be an issue. The real threat is the illegals crossing into our country (drug and human trafficking at an all time high) with no way for the US to know what country they are from. This posses the biggest domestic security threat.
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 and C
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Fossil Fuels.
ABOUT YOU

Strongly Disagree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Violent felons and Illegals should not be permitted to own a fire arm
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
Yes
Our first line of defense at schools, teachers. should be able to carry and protect our children at all cost. If the teacher is comfortable and has been trained then we should allow them that right.
