OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

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

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.

Neutral

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

only in medical emergencies

Does the federal government have a role to play in limiting abortion, and if so what federal steps and/or federal legislation would you support?

It is not up to the federal government. It is up to the states to determine anything that has to do with the issue.


ECONOMY

What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?

Tax breaks, less taxes and I would like to make it to where anything over 8 hours is overtime and tax free.

Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.

Strongly Agree

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

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

We should be putting God first, as a Christian I believe he comes first before any and every thing.

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

Neutral

I believe that we need to get back to having morals and putting God first.


HEALTHCARE

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

Never.

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.

I believe health care cost should be lower and make it easier for people to get the care they need without having to worry about the financial burden of it.


NATIONAL SECURITY

With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened. B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger. D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.

C and D. I think we are currently in too many other countries business and we need to worry about our own citizens first.

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.

Choose not to answer

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

Yes it is. It also needs to be worked on with and under different administration.

What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?

The woke agenda.


IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Agree

This needs to be a priority to us to protect our citizens.

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

People that do it the correct way not illegally.


EDUCATION

I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.

Strongly Agree

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

Strongly Agree


VALUES

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

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

Strongly Agree

Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.

Strongly Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a Christian and I will always put God and my relationship with him first. I let him guide me in all decisions.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

The Electoral College should be abolished.

Neutral

I think it should not be as big as it is. We need a smaller government.


EQUALITY

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

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

Strongly Disagree

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

Lower the demand for electricity in a whole.
