OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE*

*Additional information was received after the evaluation was assigned and was not considered in the Panel Evaluations, therefore it is for additional educational purposes only.
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

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

The life of the mother.

Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.

Strongly Agree

The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.

Agree

The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.

Strongly Agree


ECONOMY

What is your position on the minimum wage?

When minimum wages go up so does the cost of everything else and it can become ineffective. Mainly students and entry level workers receive minimum wages. Supply and demand seem to keep wages where they need to be depending on the skills required.

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

Strongly Agree

List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.

1. End ineffective tax exemptions, 2. Increase accountability for state programs, 3. Reduce administrative overhead, 4. Increase transparency, 5. Focus taxpayer dollars on core services


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

The freedom to practice any religion without government interference.

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

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.

C - Medicare and Medicaid. Our country is almost $40 trillion dollars in debt and can't afford new programs until we get this problem under control.

The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.

Strongly Disagree


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, it is important. We need their stability in the Middle East.


IMMIGRATION

I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.

Strongly Disagree

No other county has this open border policy. Non-residents should apply for visas and legal citizenship to be in our country legally. We can't afford to cover the cost of all the legal Americans in our country that need help as it stands currently.


EDUCATION

I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.

Neutral

If this would save education dollars and bloat, I'm all for it. The people closest to their constituents usually know what each individual community needs.

Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.

Strongly Agree

We need to have our students beholden to our country, not other countries. Where there is money coming in, there are usually strings attached.


VALUES

Government should recognize and support the fundamental right and essential duty of parents to direct their child's health and educational well-being.

Agree

Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.

Strongly Agree

Children change their minds about things everyday and this is something permanent that shouldn't be done until they are of age and can then make that decision for themselves.

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

I support the expansion of gambling in my state.

Strongly Disagree

With gambling can come addiction and upset of the family dynamic, plus the huge costs that can come when that happens.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I believe in one God and that He is our creator.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

To keep our country strong and have the true will of the people shown in the results, we need to keep our elections safe and secure without outside influences, just like getting on an airplane, attending certain meetings and functions, etc. ID's are often required.


EQUALITY

Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.

Disagree

True ability is what is most important when one is looking for a person to fill a job vacancy and to have it done correctly. On the other hand, any one of any race or color should be hired if they are the most qualified for that job position and have no record of wrongdoing that would also then disqualify them.

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

I have daughters and granddaughters and I don't want to open the door for a male to take away their accomplishments in sports and their privacy/vulnerability in a state of undress in bathrooms or locker rooms, etc. Physically men are born with DNA that make them naturally faster and stronger.


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

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

Neutral

Yes, there are some things that man has created that alters our climate and well-being in a negative aspect.

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

Nuclear


ABOUT YOU

Conservative

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


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?

To protect the public, give justice to victims, uphold the laws and use taxpayer resources wisely.

Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.

Agree

Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.

Agree


2ND AMENDMENT

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

Prohibiting convicted felons from having firearms, doing background checks diligently, age limits, preventing those that are mentally incapable and can be a danger to themselves and others.
