OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

All life is precious. I believe life begins at conception and should be protected.

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

I do not believe chemical abortion drugs should be available, but if available they should be regulated and meet high safety standards.

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 do not believe in increasing the minimum wage as this causes inflation. The free market system should be responsible in determining wages.

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


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Under what circumstances can government close churches?

None.

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

Strongly Disagree

If providing a service would violate someones moral or religious belief, they should not have to perform that service.


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.

Government should be out of the healthcare business. However, we are now in a situation that many have become dependent on the government for assistance. We need to go back to a private payer system with less government regulation, but this will not be easy.

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

I do not believe in mandatory 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. Militarily, ethically, and morally we have an obligation to Israel. They have been an great ally for many years and we should continue that relationship.


IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Agree


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.

Agree


VALUES

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.

God values life as He sent Jesus to die and pay for our sins. We should make no law contrary to the will of God as written in His Holy Word. Besides the right to life that God proclaims in His gospel, God talks about being responsible with the gifts He has given us. Managing our money and families is written about continuously in the Bible. Loving our neighbors and not perverting justice are commands given by God and set forth by our founders in the Constitution.

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

Strongly Agree


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


EQUALITY

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?

No.

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.

I have been in agriculture my entire life. I believe in protecting the environment, otherwise we will not be able to continue to grow food. As farmers we strive to make the land better, but government overreach is crippling production. I believe in common sense oversight of the environment to prevent abuse. But, I do not believe we have much if any control over climate change. Climate has been changing for thousands of years, and yet man has still survived.

What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?

Fossil fuels and nuclear energy are the most efficient forms of energy today. The technology for wind and solar is just not viable yet. We can produce needed energy using the resources we currently have while still working on alternative 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?

Protect the citizens and provide an environment in which people can flourish and raise their families free from government intrusion.

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


2ND AMENDMENT

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

None, unless convicted of a violent crime.

Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?

Yes

Yes, but I believe training should be required.


OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES

I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.

Strongly Disagree
