QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

When a woman, her doctor, and anyone else involved decide to get the procedure done. I'm "pro-choice."

“Women’s Right to Know” informed consent materials must include information about Abortion Pill Reversal.

Neutral

I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.

Neutral

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

Agree

I would agree to this in most cases; some exceptions might include life of the mother or emergency situations.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

Neutral

Under what circumstances can government close churches?

If a church is being used for illegal activities or is involved in illegal activities.


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?

Yes. Israel is an important trade partner of ours, as well as the rest of the world.


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?

no comment


ECONOMY

Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?

Choose not to answer

Deciding where to invest public money sort of depends on what the money is being used for.

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

Agree


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.

Choose not to answer


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.

Disagree


2ND AMENDMENT

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

No comment.

Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?

No


ABOUT YOU

What do you think is the general purpose of government?

To enact laws, enforce those laws, and to punish those who break the laws.

Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.

No

Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.

No

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


VALUES

Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.

Choose not to answer

Parents have the right to make decisions for their minor children.

Choose not to answer

Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.

Disagree

Gender transition services should be considered optional and therefore should patient-funded.

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

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I believe in the "golden rule" - treat others the way you want to be treated. I believe in being kind and showing empathy. Life is short, have fun, and if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. Sharing isn't about how much money you have, it's about helping someone out when they are in need.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Disagree

States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.

Neutral


EQUALITY

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

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?

I do believe racism is a threat to domestic security because of the racial divide that still exists in a lot of places of this country.

I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.

Neutral


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.

D

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

Solar or wind are probably the most sustainable energy sources over the long term, but right now the most reliable might be natural gas.
