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?
Reign in government spending. The government is printing too much money. Massive spending won't ever fix the economy, it actually CAUSES inflation and feeds the corrupt machine. We suffer, and we pay for it!
Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.
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?

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

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.
Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options.
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.
The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger.
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?
Did not answer
What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?
Did not answer
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Agree
Immigration is in the DNA of New York City. Our rich collection of cultures makes us strong and beautiful. Legal immigration brings hardworking people who contribute to our economy. Open borders bring people dependent on the government, flooding our system until we can't afford to take care of anyone. Vibrant, legal immigration is what America is all about, but wide open borders are dangerous and unsustainable. We really need to fix this!
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Did not answer
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.
Did not answer
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.
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.
Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.

We’re required to provide adequate identity verification for a host of purchases and transactions in order to ensure fairness and safety in our society. These include, but are not limited to purchasing antihistamines, alcohol, tobacco, at a visit to the doctor, to acquire government benefits, to enter office buildings, to board a plane, to purchase a home, a car, etc. It’s reasonable to require ID to cast a vote for a particular candidate running for office as a representative of it’s citizens.
The Electoral College should be abolished.
Disagree
EQUALITY
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
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.

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

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?
Moderate
Our broken partisan system divides us between extremes. Talking to New Yorkers, I keep hearing that most of us agree on regular, common sense ideas. That's why I'm running as a Conservative Party candidate. This way I can work with each party on middle ground policies, and I won't have to run away from good ideas just because the "other side" supports them. It's not rocket science - it just requires us to work outside the partisan system for the good of all of us.
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
Did not answer
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.
Did not answer
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Disagree
The current system is a revolving door for repeat offenders, with more concern for criminals than community. Police must be professional and respectful, but individuals must also be held accountable for their bad choices and actions. We should all live under the same laws, and our amazing city should be safe for all of us.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
