QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

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

Disagree

Abortion is a form of healthcare and should be allowed and offered to those, even people who are social healthcare programs like Medicaid.

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Elective abortion should be up to the choice of the person, however, I personally am comfortable at the point of fetal viability for elective abortion..

Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.

Disagree

Human life deserves legal protection from birth until death.

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

Choose not to answer

I have a lot of questions I need answered before I take a position. Such as: why is someone creating embryos artificially and for what purpose. Who owns the decision making ability of said embryos, and why would someone want to purposely destruct them?

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

Strongly Disagree


ECONOMY

What is your position on the minimum wage?

We need to increase federal minimum wage. We need to be paying our staff a livable wage.

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

Neutral

I think these are two separate questions: free enterprise and private property. There needs to be flexibility in our world to allow for innovation and growth so long as the companies are operating in an ethical way.

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

I love combing through redundant policies and removing them! We layer on policies and do not look at laws in a holsitic way so each year I reach out to community members for suggestions on policies that are a barrier and not helpful then put them into a bill to remove them.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

Religion should not influence policy

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

Neutral

It depends on the services being provided and


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

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

Disagree

That sounds like a very big HIPPA violation. However if you want to address economic burden of treatment, I would suggest taking an approach around sin taxes like cigarettes, alcohol or sugars to move the needle towards healthier food and drinks.


NATIONAL SECURITY

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

Agree

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

Our economy is dependent on other countries because we have created a global trade economy. Our current world structure is dependent on having good relationships with other counties.


IMMIGRATION

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

Choose not to answer

Sanctuary cities is a broad term used that isn’t a specific policy. I cannot take a policy position on a common term that is not actually a policy. I do support communities that are not proactively looking for undocumented immigrants who are not committing crimes and appreciate communities that do not profile someone who might look like an immigrant. I also support the idea of a violent criminal being handed over to federal agents if they are here illegally. There is a balance around immigration


EDUCATION

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

Disagree

Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.

Agree


VALUES

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

Neutral

Recognize how? I need more clarification on what that means. Yes, parents should help direct their childs health and educational growth, so long as the parent is a stable parents (as in, mentally stable, not abusive, not doing drugs or excessive drinking).

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

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 Disagree

I support the expansion of gambling in my state.

Agree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

Agnostic.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Agree


EQUALITY

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

Agree

I think there is a policy path forward for this concept but I do not know how or when but it seems worth having a conversation on what that might look like.

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.

Neutral


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

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

Strongly Agree

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

Did not answer


ABOUT YOU

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?

Lean Liberal

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?

rehabilitate and serve time for crime committed.

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

Strongly Agree

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

Choose not to answer

I need to learn more about sharia law before taking a position as I have been focused on state level policy and systems, not international laws around religion


2ND AMENDMENT

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

background checks and safety classes are essential and a good starting point for gun regulation.
