OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Please see my view on the issues here: https://www.joe4kck.com/issues

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.

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?

Specific wages shouldn't be mandated by the government. Conversely, no one should expect to make a "living wage" performing an unskilled, low end job.

Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?

No

Public monies? No. Private monies? That's up to the individual.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Under what circumstances can government close churches?

There are innumerable "what-if" "gotcha" scenarios someone could come up with, but I CAN tell you when the municipalities closed churches during the pandemic... that was absolutely wrong.

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

Strongly 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.

B. Healthcare costs are out of control due to legislative overreach and our litigious society.

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

Unfortunately, vaccinations have morphed into a money-making, subsidy and after the pandemic, I'm hesitant to trust vaccinations now.


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?

Israel is a strong, US ally, especially in that part of the world. I am concerned about the intertwined military industrial complex relationships though.


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

School choice is critical to the future of our children.


VALUES

Parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.

Strongly Agree

Teachers, doctors, etc. are NOT the parents of the children.

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 Roman Catholic, and I struggle every day to live sin free and model my life after our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ.

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

An east coast reporter once tweeted a photo on a commercial flight as it flew over Kansas. In his tweet he admitted he didn't know what he was looking, but it was "beautiful." The photo was a picture of crops tens of thousands of feet below his flight. He didn't know what crops looked like from the air!!! These regional disparities and voters' lack of understanding of the other states is EXACTLY why we need the Electoral College.


EQUALITY

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

The (false) THREAT that racism is massively widespread is a greater threat to domestic security than the actual racism that remains today.

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?

Nuclear


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?

To defend and protect the freedoms of it's citizens.

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?

... shall not be infringed.

Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?

Yes

Allowed? Yes Required? No Not everyone has the skill or mindset to carry a firearm so they shouldn't be required to.


OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES

I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.

Choose not to answer

Alcohol is harmful to the human body, and yet it is legal. Marijuana may be more or less harmful to the human body, but because it is illegal we don't really know how it affects the human body. I find it contradictory that alcohol, given all of it's detrimental effects, is legal while marijuana is not. That said, we have far bigger issues facing our country and great state.
