QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Elective abortion should only be allowed in the event the mother's life is in danger. Attempts to save the baby must be taken into consideration.

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

Chemical abortion drugs should be illegal.

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

Private property rights serve as a safeguard for personal liberty. One does not exist without the other.

What is your position on the minimum wage?

I disagree with increasing minimum wage due to potential job losses, increased costs for businesses, and increased cost of goods and services. Instead, I advocate for policies which promote economic growth and job creation.

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 (The Great Reset) threatens individual freedom and Western civilization. It absolutely must not be given an opportunity to create a stronghold in Oklahoma


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Under what circumstances can government close churches?

The government does not have the authority to close churches.

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

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

There are no circumstances in which the government should require vaccinations.


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?

The United States and Israel are both founded on Judeo-Christian values. It is also important to note that Israel functions as a strategic ally for the United States in the Middle East.


IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Agree

America is being invaded. More must be done at the Federal level. At the state level, Oklahoma should not reward illegal aliens for breaking the law by providing them with privileges reserved for American citizens only. For example, illegal aliens should not be granted driver's license.


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

Gender cannot be transitioned, only the appearance of a transition.

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.

Romans 1:16


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

Every effort must be made to secure our elections.

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?

Racism is established through Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and Critical Race Theory (CRT). The tenets of these constructs threaten domestic security because they create division instead of unity among Americans.

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.

C

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

Traditional fossil fuels are indispensable for ensuring the economic resilience and vitality of the United States.


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?

The United States Government bears the responsibility of maintaining order and safeguarding individual and property rights. Ultimately the purpose of our government is to preserve the integrity of the Bill of Rights enshrined within the constitution.

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?

"Shall not infringe"

Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?

Yes
