QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

In Kentucky we must provide choice in the cases of rape, incest, nonviable pregnancies, and the life of the mother.

I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.

Choose not to answer

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

Choose not to answer


ECONOMY

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

What is your position on the minimum wage?

The minimum wage should be such that someone working full-time should be able to live above poverty levels. Local counties and communities should have the ability to set their own minimum wage standards that best meet the needs of their residents.

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

Strongly Agree


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

Choose not to answer

Under what circumstances can government close churches?

Did not answer


HEALTHCARE

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

Did not answer

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) Americans should have the freedom to buy into publicly funded options OR maintain private insurance.


NATIONAL SECURITY

Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?

Yes. While imperfect like any nation, I believe the Jewish people should have a safe place to call home following the horrors of the holocaust.


IMMIGRATION

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

Agree

The United States needs a functional, legal immigration system, and that includes properly funding border security like the proposed bipartisan border bill that Republicans in Congress refused to bring to a vote.


EDUCATION

I support a constitutional amendment that would allow Kentucky’s General Assembly to set up a school choice program to allow dollars to follow children to the school of their choice.

Disagree

Kentucky parents already have school choice, that's why my son, Remy, attends Wilmore Crossing Academy. Your tax dollars should not pay for my decision where to send my son to school.


VALUES

I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.

Choose not to answer

Parental rights are a fundamental right, and parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.

Agree

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

Choose not to answer

Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.

Strongly Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I believe that all things were created by God, and that our world would be a much better place if we loved one another and saw one another as fellow children of God.

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 Disagree

Freedom means being able to marry the person you love.


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.

Choose not to answer


EQUALITY

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.

Choose not to answer

I support Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).

Choose not to answer

I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.

Choose not to answer


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

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

There is not one answer, Kentucky should adopt an all-of-the-above energy portfolio where energy providers use the source that is most efficient for each area.

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.

Climate change, both natural and manmade, is real. Environmental standards must balance economic growth with preserving this planet which has been entrusted to us.


ABOUT YOU

What do you think is the general purpose of government?

To uphold the social contract that people can live freely without doing harm to others. In a wealthy nation like the United States, the role also includes providing for the common defense and promoting the welfare of its citizens as mentioned in the Constitution.

Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.

No

Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.

No

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?

Moderate

I am fiscally conservative and socially progressive. The government must be responsible with our public funds while also allowing people to live their lives freely so long as they are not harming others.


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.

Disagree

Public protection should be fully funded, but so should rehabilitation programs to reduce recidivism circumstances that lead to criminal behavior.


2ND AMENDMENT

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

Universal Background Checks.

Faculty who are licensed to carry and have had ongoing training should be allowed to carry guns at school in order to respond to an active shooter situation.

Neutral
