QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

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

Strongly Agree

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

I believe that all life is precious.

Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.

Strongly Agree

The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.

Strongly Agree

The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.

Strongly Agree


ECONOMY

What is your position on the minimum wage?

I believe that employees deserve an opportunity to earn higher wages through economic growth, increased productivity, and competition. The best way to raise wages is to reduce regulations that burden businesses, lower taxes and encourage investment.

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

Strongly Agree

List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.

My top three priorities to eliminate government waste: First, audit every taxpayer-funded program to ensure it's producing results. Second, increase transparency so taxpayers can see exactly where their money goes. Third, streamline government by eliminating unnecessary bureaucracy, reducing duplication, and focusing every dollar on core government responsibilities. I believe taxpayers deserve a government that is efficient, accountable, and fiscally responsible.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

The Constitution prohibits the government from establishing a national religion, but it does not require removing faith from the public square. Our nation's founding documents recognize that our rights come from God, not government. I support every person's religious liberty under the First Amendment.

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.

B

The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.

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?

Yes, the United States' relationship with Israel is important because it is America's closest democratic ally in the Middle East.


IMMIGRATION

I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.

Strongly Disagree


EDUCATION

I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.

Strongly Agree

Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.

Strongly Agree


VALUES

Government should recognize and support the fundamental right and essential duty of parents to direct their child's health and educational well-being.

Strongly Agree

Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.

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

I support the expansion of gambling in my state.

Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

My faith in Jesus Christ is the foundation of my life. It shapes my values, guides my decisions, and reminds me that leadership is about serving others with humility, integrity, and compassion. I believe every person is created in the image of God and deserves to be treated with respect.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree


EQUALITY

Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.

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

Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.

Disagree

I believe we should be good stewards of our environment and support clean air, clean water, and responsible conservation, but I don't believe in policy thats driven by alarmism. Any environmental policy should be grounded in sound science, weigh costs and benefits, and avoid placing unnecessary burden on families, workers, and businesses.

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

I believe nuclear energy is the most reliable, but I also support an all-of-the-above energy strategy that includes natural gas, hydropower, renewables, and continued investment in innovation.


ABOUT YOU

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?

Conservative

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


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?

The goal of the criminal justice system is to protect the public by upholding the rule of law, holding offenders accountable, and ensuring justice is applied fairly and impartially.

Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.

Agree

Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.

Strongly Agree

Our laws should remain rooted in the Constitution and the principles of liberty.


2ND AMENDMENT

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

I believe we can protect public safety while respecting the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens. The focus should be on keeping firearms away from violent criminals. I oppose restrictions that punish responsible gun owners instead of addressing the individuals who commit crimes.
