QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Neutral
State by state decision
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
I am pro-life and believe Florida should protect innocent life while also recognizing difficult medical circumstances. Elective abortion should not be treated as a routine form of birth control. Exceptions should exist when the mother's life is at risk, in cases of serious medical emergencies, and in tragic circumstances involving rape, incest, or fatal fetal abnormalities, consistent with Florida law.
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Agree
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Did not answer
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Neutral
State by state decision
ECONOMY
What is your position on the minimum wage?
States should choose their own rules when it comes to minimum wage.
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
My priorities are: (1) require regular performance audits to eliminate wasteful and duplicative programs; (2) increase transparency so taxpayers can track spending; (3) modernize government through technology and streamlined permitting; (4) invest in infrastructure and public health projects that reduce long-term costs; and (5) focus funding on public safety, education, and lowering the tax burden—not growing bureaucracy.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
To me, "separation of church and state" means government should not establish or favor a religion, while fully protecting every person's right to freely practice their faith. It does not require removing faith from the public square. People of all beliefs should be free to live out their values, and government should protect religious liberty while treating all citizens fairly under the law.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Disagree
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.
State by state decision
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Neutral
State by state decision
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. The United States' relationship with Israel is vital because Israel is America's strongest democratic ally in the Middle East, sharing our commitment to freedom, security, and the rule of law. Our alliance strengthens regional stability, intelligence and defense cooperation, and economic innovation. I strongly support Israel's right to defend itself, oppose antisemitism, and believe America should continue standing firmly with our ally.
IMMIGRATION
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Agree
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Strongly Agree
VALUES
Government should recognize and support the fundamental right and essential duty of parents to direct their child's health and educational well-being.
Strongly Agree
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.
Agree
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Did not answer
I support the expansion of gambling in my state.

State issue
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
My faith teaches me the importance of service, humility, family, community, and responsibility. I believe we are called to treat others with dignity, care for those in need, stand up for what is right, and leave the world better than we found it. Those values guide how I try to live, lead, and serve my community. I believe in God and that he plays an active role in our daily lives.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
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.
Agree
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Agree

No

No
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?
The goal of the criminal justice system should be to protect the public, uphold the rule of law, ensure justice for victims, and safeguard constitutional rights. Violent offenders should be held fully accountable, while rehabilitation and treatment should be available when appropriate to reduce recidivism, strengthen communities, and improve public safety.
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Agree
Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.
Agree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
I support the 2nd amendment. Public safety needs to be determined by local states and cities.
