OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Until fetal viability unless medically necessary after.
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.
Disagree
You can meet essential safety standards through Telehealth, that is why it is an approved, and reimbursable method of receiving professional, licensed care.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Disagree
Planned Parenthood is a healthcare provider that does more than abortions for our citizens and should be eligible for funding like other nonprofit and healthcare entities.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Agree
I think we are not going far enough to support peoples right to self determination to choose how and when they pass towards the end of their life.
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Agree
What is your position on the minimum wage?
Minimum wage should match the cost of living in the respective area and not be mandated as a fixed amount by the state.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
Yes
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
If they are violating the law and continue to violate the law.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Neutral
As long as they are not violating any discrimination laws.
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
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
When it is in the best interest of the greater public health community.
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?
We have transitioned to a globalist society and have to maintain strong relationships with other countries toe nsure our own economic viability and safety.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
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.
Disagree
I am not an expert here but generally it seems wrong to have state funding going to religious private organizations. This makes me worry about the boundary of separation of church and state.
VALUES
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Neutral
Children need to be protected from abuse and this includes mental health and physical health treatment for all disorders.
Parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.
Agree
Unless the parents are deemed unfit by the courts.
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Neutral
If they are under a taxpayer funded program with a diagnosis of a disorder that requires a certain type of care or procedure, than we should provide that care.
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
In order for me to be married, I had to sign a legal document so it is a government process and procedure, as written by law.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Formerly Roman Catholic.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Agree
States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.
Agree
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
War is created by hate and hate includes racism.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Agree
We have an entire historical era called Jim Crow that addresses this topic.
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.
Disagree
Just make them individual stalls and have common area sinks like many other places, it even saves money with construction.
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.
All of the above.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Nuclear seems to be a good viable option while renewable energy infrastructure is being build out but I am not an expert here so would need to learn more before I can give a full answer.
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?
Ensure the safety and security of our community and the people whom live in it.
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
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Neutral
I would like to merge them together so they can jointly work in the community.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
If I had to do training to carry when I was in the military and cops have to do it as well, then our neighbors can do a gun safety and use training prior to ownership.
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
Yes
