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.
Agree
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Should be up to the voters of each prospective state and the supreme courts ruling on Roe V Wade should be upheld
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?
No. This is a state issue, not a federal issue.
ECONOMY
What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?
Reduce federal taxes by ending foreign aid and the military industrial complex and reinvesting in American businesses, putting tax dollars back in citizens pockets.
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
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
Protecting the church from government interference and protect freedom of religion by keeping the church out of the government.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
No. Freedom of association and the free market must be upheld.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
No public institution should be allowed to mandate healthcare and private business should not be incentivized, coerced or bribed to mandate 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.
D. The free market should be allowed to flourish in a competitive market not controlled by government interests. Tax dollars that go to Medicare and Medicaid should be returned to the peoples pockets.
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 should stay out of foreign conflicts completely. We are 35 trillion dollars in debt and we simply cannot afford to empty our pockets to fund foreign interests.
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Agree
The United States military should reinvest in national defense, pulling out of foreign bases and focusing on protecting our country on all fronts, here at home.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
The United States must stop carrying water for the nation of Israel.
What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?
The decline is due to a strong dissatisfaction from Americans with our endless overseas operations that lead to unnecessary death, destruction and demoralization of troops. American Soldiers enlisted to serve their country but instead they have been churned up by the endless war machine.
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?
Anyone who has been properly vetted and enters the country legally is welcome to immigrate here.
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
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
Marriage is not a government institution. The government should not be involved in banning or allowing anything regarding marriage.
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 christian and respect others right to freedom of religion.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
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.
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
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Oil and natural gas sourced domestically should be heavily invested in and improved to have better worker and environmental impacts.
ABOUT YOU

To represent the will of the people.

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.
Strongly Disagree
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Disagree
Before investing more money into our police force we must have stronger castle doctrine and stand your ground laws so that the people have the ability to defend themselves and their families and have less reliance on outsourcing protection.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Zero. Public safety is best protected by no restrictions on gun ownership.
