QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
The Life of the Mother. As the Wyoming Senate author of SF 109 (https://wyoleg.gov/Legislation/2023/SF0109 ) 'Prohibiting Chemical Abortions' in Wyoming 2023 (which is currently going through litigation and is the first in the nation) I believe Life begins at conception.
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.
Neutral
I oppose chemical abortions.
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
Private Property Rights are fundamental to a free society. Any erosion of such Rights is contrary to our Bill of Rights.
What is your position on the minimum wage?
The continued increase of the minimum wage destroys jobs, particularly the jobs of low- skilled, young workers.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
I oppose ESG. ESG is a worldwide effort to inject woke political ideology across the financial sector. I believe ESG hurts Wyoming taxpayers.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
Under no circumstances!
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.
Congress should allow affordable healthcare options—not limit them. I support tax breaks, cutting regulations and Health Savings Accounts.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Parental Rights of minors should dictate medical treatment. Religious exemptions. In the private sector, Individuals have the right to refuse.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
Hostile countries to the United States should not be allowed to purchase or own agricultural land or any property near US military bases.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Yes. The long religious, cultural, political & national security history with the United States is vital to both our nations. The US must support the state of Israel.
IMMIGRATION
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Only legal immigration should be allowed into the United States.
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 have the right to be protected from sexually explicit materials in publicly funded libraries, including school libraries.
Strongly Agree
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from harm, including from gender ideology 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 have put my trust & salvation in the finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ on the Cross of Calvary. The Blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us of our sins. 1 John 1:7-9
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
I supported photo ID legislation in the Wyoming senate.
States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.
Strongly Disagree
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
There is no place for racism in our society.
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.
A. C.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Nuclear energy.
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 establish law with limited government, Protect Individual Constitutional Freedoms. Protect us from Big government that seeks to dictate. All power of government comes from the People who establish such government and can be taken away from such government by 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 Conservative
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Strongly Disagree
2ND AMENDMENT
Please express your views on the 2nd Amendment.
As the Wyoming House author of Wyoming's 'Stand Your Ground,' (https://wyoleg.gov/Legislation/2018/HB0168 ) I believe the 2nd Amendment is to protect us from the government trying to take our Constitutional Rights away from the People. It also allows an individual to protect themselves or their family from harm.
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.
Strongly Disagree
