OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Personally I believe In the instances of Rape, Incest or Life of the Mother. This is not an issue that can be affected by myself or my opponent due to the constitutional amendment that was passed recently in 2022. No State Representative has the ability to change the vote of the people.
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?
I support a Business owners decision to set the amount of pay they provide for good help and in turn an individual workers right to determine if they are willing to accept it. I fail to see how raising a low bar inspires anyone to greatness.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
Choose not to answer

Never, this is protected by the 1st amendment.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

(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.

D) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.
C.
