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

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

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Life of the Mother Rape/Incest

Does the federal government have a role to play in limiting abortion, and if so what federal steps and/or federal legislation would you support?

The federal government should not have a role to play on any abortion topics. The Supreme Court has ruled that this is a state issue.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

The separation of church and state promotes religious pluralism and allows all Americans to practice their deeply held beliefs in private and in public. This is a big part of our 1st amendment rights!

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

Disagree


NATIONAL SECURITY

With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened. B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger. D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.

C

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 it is. They are our strongest ally in that part of the world and we need to maintain strong, positive relationships with our allies.

What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?

The biggest issue is that the military doesn't pay worth a damn and people are no longer thinking that this country is worth the ultimate sacrifice. When our government can start showing support for the American people and our issues, I think people would be more proud to serve than not serve. The corruption within our government has to go and we must start showing more support for our military and our veterans.


HEALTHCARE

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

NEVER

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, health insurance should be available for everyone and if one CHOOSES to have private healthcare than that's their right to do so. Freedom means allowing people to make their own decisions without being controlled or told what to do.


ECONOMY

What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?

I would write and try to pass legislation to end ALL federal income taxes from being taken out of paychecks, I would also push to have home owners to have their homes removed from the property tax requirements.

Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.

Strongly Agree

When you take out a student loan, YOU and only YOU are responsible for that loan.

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

Yes


IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Agree

We should absolutely close our southern border and start enforcing our immigration laws. We must also deport any illegal immigrant that has come into this country by way of breaking the law. If they are undocumented, they are deported.

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

No-one until we can get a grip on what has and is currently happening in this country due to the illegal immigration.


EDUCATION

I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.

Strongly Agree

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

Strongly Agree

100% agree and will fight as hard as I can to help get rid of the DOE


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.

Disagree

We need to support our law enforcement and make sure that they have everything they need in order to protect and serve the people in their communities. Defunding the police departments will only hinder law enforcement's ability to maintain law and order.


2ND AMENDMENT

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

Absolutely None!


JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY

The Supreme Court should be reformed to include more seats.

Disagree


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

What do you think is the general purpose of government?

I believe that government should primarily serve as a framework for society to function within, protecting individual liberties, enforcing the rule of law, and providing for the common defense and infrastructure.

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


VALUES

Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.

Agree

Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.

Strongly Agree

this should be considered child abuse and the parents should be charged accordingly

Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.

Choose not to answer

NEVER

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a baptist and I believe in my god as my lord and savior and I do not have to explain myself to anyone, this is between God and myself


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

NEVER, A valid government issued photo ID should ALWAYS be presented before one can vote.

The Electoral College should be abolished.

Neutral


EQUALITY

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

We need to stop normalizing this stupidity. Protect biological female and their privacy. Protect the integrity of women's sports by keeping biological men OUT of women's sports. Men can NOT be women and women can NOT be men, IT'S THAT SIMPLE!


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

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

Strongly Disagree

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

Nuclear Energy
