OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Protect Life at every stage.

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

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


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Under what circumstances can government close churches?

The first amendment is our guide on this issue.

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

Strongly Disagree


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?

Israel is an important ally of the United States.


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. Medicaid and Medicare should remain available.

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

Vaccinations should be voluntary.


ECONOMY

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

Strongly Agree

The free enterprise system will always reward hard work and self-sacrifice. The people are better at making decisions about their own lives and finances than bureaucrats, and the private sector will always outperform the public sector. The 5th amendment protects private property from illegal taking without just compensation.

What is your position on the minimum wage?

Let the free market decide the minimum wage.

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

No


IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Agree

Illegal entry to the United States should be prevented.


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


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.

Disagree


2ND AMENDMENT

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

The second amendment is our guide on this issue. We do not need restrictions on gun ownership for law abiding citizens.

Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?

Yes

Properly trained teachers should be able to carry guns and protect our children if they so desire.


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?

Establish the rule of law and support policies that let people live safely in their communities without undue interference.

Strongly Agree

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

Strongly Agree

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 have Christian values and beliefs.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

It is important to have election integrity.

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

Strongly Disagree

We need the protection of the Electoral College to make sure each state has a voice in National elections.


EQUALITY

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

We have made good progress on racism over our history as a nation, however we need to continue to ensure equality of opportunity.

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.
