OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Any
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.
Disagree
Telehealth is sufficient.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Disagree
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Agree
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Disagree
What is your position on the minimum wage?
The minimum wage is well below a living wage. We should raise it to a thriving wage that is in line with the cost of living.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
Yes
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
In circumstances where it is dangerous to gather, such as a pandemic.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Agree
I don't believe that protecting discrimination will lead us forward.
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.
A
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Public health emergencies, high-risk environments, protecting vulnerable populations, international travel regulations, legal and ethical frameworks and workplace safety regulations. In all these scenarios, it's essential to ensure transparency.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Choose not to answer
I don't have enough details on this topic.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
No.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Disagree
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.
Disagree
VALUES
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Disagree
The first part of this statement is true, the last part is a non-issue. No "gender ideology" is causing bodily mutilation and there is no evidence to suggest that it is.
Parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.
Neutral
In most cases this can be true, however I do not believe in the case of withholding medical care or education that it is. Everyone should have access to medical care and education.
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Agree
This is a part of healthcare, and I have mentioned previously that I am in support of healthcare for all.
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 Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am not spiritual, and you do not have to be spiritual to have values. My values include transparency, equity, inclusion, empathy and kindness among others.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Agree
States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.
Strongly Agree
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Racism, particularly white supremacist and extremist ideologies has been linked to domestic terrorism. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and other security agencies in the U.S. have identified racially motivated violent extremism as a significant domestic threat. Racism also undermines social cohesion by creating divisions and mistrust between different groups. Racial issues can contribute to political polarization, which can exacerbate tensions and hinder effective governance.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Agree
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.
Disagree
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.
B and D
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Renewable Energy (Solar and Wind) These sources have become increasingly cost-effective and scalable. They are environmentally friendly, producing no greenhouse gases during operation. This can drastically reduce the reliance on other sources.
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?
To work for the people
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 Liberal
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Agree
