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.
Strongly Agree
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
When a mother's live is in danger. Incest and proven rape.
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?
None. This is a state's issue after the recent Supreme Court decision
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
The state should not establish a state religion. My ancestors came over on the Mayflower to escape religious restrictions. Everyone should be protected to enjoy serving God as their conscience dictates.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
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) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless a foreign government is requesting assistance in the form of a loan.
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?
Yes. The United States should assist Israel in every way but this assistance should not leave the United States financially vulnerable.
What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?
An inability to focus on recruits as individuals.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
There are no circumstances that should allow the government, etc. to violate your choice.
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.
C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary
ECONOMY
What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?
Advocate for a flat tax. Make the Trump tax cuts permanent. Curb governmental spending, thus ending inflation. Let the citizens drive the market
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
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Follow the law. If the law should be strengthen or change--make common sense changes and make legal immigration less complicated and faster.
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
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Strongly Disagree
We can do both. It is not a zero sum game. Communities are not communities if they are not safe. People enjoy getting to know their officers, and interaction should be encouraged.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Follow the law. The second amendment should not change.
JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY
The Supreme Court should be reformed to include more seats.
Strongly Disagree
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?
Very Conservative
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
To enable freedom and to provide needed infrastructure.
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
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
Everyone should be equal before the law in protecting their rights, property, and wealth.
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 born again Christian and follow God as closely as I can each day. I believe every person has dignity, purpose, and rights in our society. We should not conflate standing before the law with standing with God. These are separate. Only God knows the condition of each person's heart.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
The Electoral College should be abolished.
Strongly Disagree
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
There are arguments to be made that renewables should be driven by the market, and we should use all available means presently until all new innovations are tested and reliable.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Oil and gas as well as nuclear at present. Learning about hydrogen.
