QUESTIONNAIRE*

RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
I believe all life should be protected. This is a right given to us by our creator. If a woman is raped why would one terrible, unexcusable crime justify another crime in killing the baby. I understand if the victim of that crime wants to give that baby up for adoption. There are alot of people who can't have children and would love to adopt a baby. We need to always do a sonogram and educate the mother about what happens to the baby during an abortion.
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
These pills are dangerous for the mother and it is still an abortion. No-one talks about the long term adverse mental health issues alot of women suffer after they have an abortion.
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
The right to property was endowed to us by our creator and no-one can take that away. The reason people want to live in the USA is because of free enterprise. We need competition to keep prices down and the goverment should not have control.
What is your position on the minimum wage?
If we continue to raise minimum wage all of our prices continue to raise as well. If people have to cut back because of prices it will be on eating out, movies and going out and soon those places will have to close.
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?
They should never close churches . The constitution protects our right to worship how and when we want . There is a separation of church and state.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Our rights are protected by the constitution
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.
C
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
They shouldn't' ever be required to be vaccinated. It should always be a choice.
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?
Absolutely. They have always been an ally to the U.S.A.
IMMIGRATION
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
People who come to our country legally and learn our constitution. bill of right and declaration of independence and want to be law abiding, good, contributing members of society.
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
We need educational choices in Wyoming.
VALUES
Children have the right to be protected from sexually explicit materials in publicly funded libraries, including school libraries.
Strongly Agree
I have spoken out against blue label books at school board meetings.
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
Unless it is life altering decisions like hormones to transisition or life altering surgeries. Those decisions should be made as an adult. 85% of children change their minds.
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 a Christian and I use the Bible as my guide to live my life. I love all people and I want to help them anyway i can. I am accountable to God and I promise to do the right thing for the citizens of Wyoming.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
We need election integrity and that starts with a valid id.
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 don't think the majority of people are racist. We are all created equal and should have the same opportunities.
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.
C
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Coal and natural gas are still the best sources for electricity.
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?
It is to protect our rights and freedoms and represent we 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?
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.
Our 2nd amendment is protected by the constitution and should not be limited, changed or infringed on. Criminals don't obey the law so law abiding citizens rights would be taken away. The constitution protects our right to defend ourseles.
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.
Strongly Disagree
