QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
In the chance of death to the mother or rape/incest.
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.
Strongly Agree
With so many medications and chemicals administered during events like this we need documentation to show the hazards and protect our constituents from dangerous practices that could have long term effects on the party involved.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
It is not the taxpayer's responsibility to cover cost of a choice made by the individual in a pregnancy.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
I don't believe in taking a life unnaturally and believe we should not take a life even if it seems humane to the person it offers to many loopholes and unnecessary deaths.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
I believe if they are supporting terroristic views or are funded by hate groups with goals or harm to the community.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
I believe it's the individual's right to follow their moral and religious beliefs.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
Between hacks, land grabs, intel collecting applications the Chinese Communist Pary are certainly a threat.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Strategic relations allowing us to operate and stage, economic trade development, cyber security sharing technology, political and diplomatic ties. A long history and
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?
I dent believe at this time it should be allowed to require a mandate.
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
What is your position on the minimum wage?
I believe that minimum wage should match the local COLA however when you raise it too much you are taking away from skilled training jobs that are not matched in increases. I do believe that each person is entitled to make an honest living.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
Yes
Depends on the priorities and goals of the entity making the investment decisions. ESG ratings are designed to evaluate a company's sustainability which is relevant for long term risk management and aligning investments with public values
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
All efforts should be made to keep illegal aliens, drugs and anything else out of the US where it can hurt Americans
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.
Strongly Agree
Absolutely agree the funding should follow the child NOT the zip code which they live in. All children and their parents are entitled to an education, and parents should be able to select which type or place for their education is right for their child.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Strongly Disagree
Law Enforcement is an essential part of our society and are needed. More funding if any decision was made not less. We need to provide LEO with the best equipment, resources, and capabilities to take on all threats, protect and serve our people.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Criminals should not be allowed to own a gun.
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
Yes
I believe with adequate training and certifications they should be. It is paramount that they are trained and proficient however. If teachers had guns during many of these school shootings the suspect could have been stopped and more lives saved. We just don't want to create a hostile environment that intimidates young children or causes them to be uncomfortable in a learning environment.
ABOUT YOU
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
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
To maintain a general rule of law that allows society to grow and develop while still providing the foundation for general order and structure. Government is there to protect the population and work for them to make decisions and laws that benefit all people. We need less government in daily lives and decisions.
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?
Conservative
I am conservative and believe in God, the bible, and traditional beliefs are country was founded on. I don't believe in new age thinking or changes to society that tear at foundation of our beliefs.
VALUES
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
Protect are children at all costs, they should not be subjected to ideologies or beliefs that go against beliefs and religion.
Parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.
Strongly Agree
A parent should be able to decide for their child until they are of mature age and can make the decision for themselves. In saying that I don't believe that parents should be able to conduct any bodily mutilations or acts to their child either.
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Strongly Disagree
That is at the discretion of the individual and should not be a taxpayer issue.
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
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe in God and the bible. I believe that societies and times change, and rules or laws may be adjusted as well but the bible does not. Personally, I believe we all fall short of the glory of GOD and it's a continual climb in faith and maturity to be God like.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
To many ways to rig and cheat the system these days, if you want to vote you should have to have proof via ID. If you need a license to buy a gun, cash a check, get on a plane, then you should be required to have one to vote.
States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.
Choose not to answer
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Yes, If racism is allowed to grow and fester or folks can use it as a tool/weapon it can not only divide our nation but cause a continued rip in the vary fabric of our existence.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Agree
I believe this is nothing more than a tool to race bate and profit, while tearing down or dismantling our government.
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
A man is a man and a woman is a woman, there is no grey area, its science and undisputed. When you allow males to participate in women events you rob females from reaching goals, having a fair chance of success, and make it unrealistic for them to compete. Opposite sex should not be in either space thats not their biological space.
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.
B
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Nuclear and fossil fuels
