OTHER INFORMATION

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?

Did not answer

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 U.S. constitution gives this power to the states, not the federal government


ECONOMY

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

Stop the unchecked spending in D.C

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

Strongly Agree

These adults willfully took out the loans and are responsible for repayment as agreed upon.

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

ESG should be considered as criteria where appropriate


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

People should be free to practice their chosen religion in private and in public without prejudice.

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

Choose not to answer


HEALTHCARE

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

I agree with parental choice.

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.

D. Allowing free market to bring down costs and improve competitiveness increases the quality of health care provided and Medicaid and Medicare are there for those who need it.


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. We must put America First!

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?

I support the US relationship with Israel as our trusted and strong ally in the Middle East!

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

Military recruitment suffers from an overall lack of faith in the U.S. government due to weak leadership. The pay for those in the lowest ranks is also a concern and should be increased to a living wage.


IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Agree

Close the border! Round up and deport illegal aliens.

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

Immigration should be allowed only for those who go through the proper legal process.

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


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.

Choose not to answer

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

Strongly Agree

Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.

Strongly Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a Christian. I believe that Jesus was born, crucified and rose on the 3rd day. I believe the greatest commandment is Matthew 22:37


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

The Electoral College should be abolished.

Agree


EQUALITY

I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.

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

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