QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Sadly this question is not meaningful in Kansas. A poorly worded proposal to amend our constitution failed in 2022. The advocates campaign utterly failed to educate Kansans about the situation. Instead a highly effective, unethical campaign persuaded Kansans that a total "ban" on abortion was the issue. Predictably the "no" vote prevailed. Consequently the state Supreme Court will continue to strike down any law that limits abortion in any manner. Kansas is now the abortion destination of many
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
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.
Disagree
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
Skeptical there are any...
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Obviously any critical service (such as emergency medical help) should NOT be denied.
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. Our only real friend in a critical part of the world.
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.
...unsure about the options you offer. Certainly NOT Option A or Option D.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
unsure
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 think this is mostly a Federal issue
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
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.
Strongly Agree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
I know of no needed changes to current Kansas laws regarding this matter.
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
Yes
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.
Strongly Disagree
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?
Read the Preamble to the United States Constitution
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?
Choose not to answer
I know that Conservative is often use to mean "right" and Liberal to mean "left". But that is not accurate so I will not embrace your categories. I'd like to think I am a common sense, traditional Kansan.
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.
Choose not to answer
I fully believe in the God defined institution of marriage. I acknowledge in our system the US Supreme Court is the highest governmental agency on earth and that court has endorsed non traditional marriage. So that is the law (unless it is changed).
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a Bible believing Christian.
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.
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?
It is. We need to stop judging people by their skin color rather than by the content of their character.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
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.
When other countries around the world want to join in adopting and immediately enforcing these drastic measures I will be willing to consider whatever the "science" leads us to do.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
uncertain
