OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
In an ideal world it would never be needed, every pregnancy would be celebrated and loving parents would be capable of raising the child. We don't live in that world. I value the life of the unborn and I value a woman's bodily autonomy. Therefore, I believe that there should be limits on abortion that are voted on by the people or the people's representatives at the state level. Terms include but are not limited to: incest, rape, or the mother's life is in imminent danger.
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.
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.
Strongly 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?
The market should set a minimum wage with little to no government intervention. If a job doesn't provide a 'livable wage', do something else.
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?
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; . . . or the right of the people to peaceably assemble"
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.
I don't know what the best answer is but I do know our current system needs to be improved.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
They shouldn't. Remember, bodily autonomy applies to everyone.
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, because we share common cultural values and heritage. A relationship with Israel also provides a strategic partnership and is valuable to our national security.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
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.
Agree
I believe it is a parent's right and responsibility to determine how a child is educated. The policy mechanics of how this works need to be debated, vetted, and voted on based on what is best for children and families.
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.
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.
Neutral
I'm neutral on this because on the one hand marriage is a term with roots in religion and I don't believe government should be involved. However, there are edge cases like child marriage where the government may need to protect a minor's consent. I have no problems with civil unions between two consenting adults.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I was raised LDS but do not identify as a member anymore. I consider myself an agnostic Christian. Otherwise, my religious beliefs are my own.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Disagree
States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.
Disagree
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Where it exists it is a threat to domestic tranquility. Racism should have no place in our country.
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. I believe we are stewards of the planet and we should act responsibly to ensure sustainability while also prioritizing human needs. We can take care of the planet and grow at the same time.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Nuclear energy should form our base load. It is the most energy dense form of energy we currently employ.
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?
Government's role is to establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.
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?
Lean Conservative
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Disagree
I disagree but I could see edge cases where this might be appropriate.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
The right of the people to keep and bare arms, shall not be infringed. The current laws that regulate gun ownership are, I believe, sufficient to protect public safety. They just need to be enforced. I believe it's more important for government to promote responsible gun ownership and use through education and training.
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
Yes
If they want to, feel confident in using it to protect their own life and the lives of children put in their care, are trained to do so, and they have a method of safe storage.
