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).

Disagree

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.

Agree

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Did not answer

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?

Did not answer


ECONOMY

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

Offer Financial Planning courses for free at community levels as most people do not understand Money (I've been a CPA, and Financial Planner for 30 years and currently own my own Registered Investment Advisor firm).

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

Strongly Agree

US needs to update it's Educational Training benefits and tax credits policy.

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?

The government should not be poking its tentacles into it's "Least Favorite Nation Churches" as it has been doing for several years. This needs to change.

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

Strongly Disagree


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.


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 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, it is the one of few civilized countries in the Middle East and our greatest ally in that region.

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

Woke policies, Government handouts, lack of morale


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?

Those who are able to contribute positively whether they help farms to other businesses We should welcome additional people who are escaping terrible situations but there needs to be proper vetting. Preferably, they fund themselves but realistically, that is difficult but the US should enact a hard cutoff date for the "Welcome to the US Benefits"


EDUCATION

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

Agree

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

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 Disagree

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.

Did not answer


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.

Agree

Most likely happening but we've only been measuring temps for 200 years. Very few things qualify as needing urgent action in my opinion. More time is needed to study but we should enact conservation programs at the very least. I see so many things "thrown out" before their useful life is over.

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

Nuclear with Geo-Thermal being a close second.


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?

Moderate

Very conservative on $$ issues. Pretty liberal on Social issues.

What do you think is the general purpose of government?

Enact laws to protect liberties for all. Care for those who are deemed not to be able to care for themselves.

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.


JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY

The Supreme Court should be reformed to include more seats.

Disagree


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.

Strongly Disagree


2ND AMENDMENT

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

States should decide gun laws. I don't believe in guns that can fire over 15 rounds of ammo.
