OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
none
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
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?
Washington State's minimum wage is creating hardship for small business owners. Minimum wage was supposed to be a wage for people just starting out, young people without families. It was never meant to be a living 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
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
Under no circumstances can government 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.
Medicaid and Medicare should remain available but in a more limited manner. I see abuses all of the time.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Under no circumstances should they be allowed to 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?
Yes, the US/Israeli relationship is very important. Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East, giving democratic freedoms to its citizens, and protecting against aggressors in the region. We also share a biblical bond from the Old Testament.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Drugs and illegal immigrants are coming across the border in droves. This should be stopped.
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
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 am Catholic and attended private elementary school. My family has always had a strong and loving relationship with Jesus. My values echo those found in the Bible and the actions of Jesus. My values are conservative and I believe in God with all of my heart.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.
Strongly Disagree
The electoral college is a fundamental component of the system established by the Constitutional Convention.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Racism, antisemitism and prejudice of any kind are horrible and unbiblical acts. On their own, I would need more information to classify something as a threat to domestic security. However, specific instances of these horrible acts can incite victims and larger community groups to protests. The 1st amendments allows for some basic freedoms. However, when situations turn to lawlessness, violence against people, vandalism or rioting-that would be a threat to domestic security.
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.
Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Nuclear power is clean and reliable.
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 purpose of the government is laid down in the Preamble to the Constitution. It is to establish justice, to provide for the common defense and promote the general welfare. I believe public safety is the governments main purpose and to protect citizen's lives, liberty and property.
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
I could not disagree with this statement more. We are failing our citizens where public safety is concerned. We have tied the polices hands and turned felonies into misdemeanors. Drug manufacturing and use has skyrocketed and we are allowing powerful drugs to stream through our border.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
As the second amendment states, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed"
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
Yes
and trained to shoot them if they do not know how
