QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Only in circumstances where the physical life of the mother is at risk.
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 Disagree
Do not agree with abortions
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
Only if their practices blatantly and cruelly display acts of violence and inflict suffering upon others, with undeniable proof that innocent individuals are being physically harmed or abused, can I truly say. In such heart-wrenching cases, I believe it is imperative to confront and eradicate that evil, but not to close the entire church. My soul mourns for the victims, and I hope to see the darkness confronted and vanquished, not to wipe out a community of faith that may hold goodness within.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
It is essential. As a Christian, my faith and the Bible instruct me never to turn my back on Israel.
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" Yes, the systems we rely on, marred by fraud and torn apart by abuse, must be overhauled. But we cannot shut the door overnight, leaving chaos and despair in their wake. We must honor the individual's right to decide what is best for their life, whether to have insurance or to stand independent, without the shadow of government funding looming over their choice. The path forward demands dialogue, passionate, compassionate, relentless—where every option is given its voice.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Never
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?
This issue demands our attention. It’s heartbreaking that good employers recognize that such wages are simply inadequate, yet so many still choose to pay them, trapping hardworking individuals in a cycle of underappreciation because the law permits.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
A nation without borders is not a nation.
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.
Agree
Some parents do not want to decide, so a public school option that meets the highest standards must be available. Those who are astute and acknowledge wanting to choose alternative education should have the right to take their money elsewhere. However, we need to become more assertive in demanding a better-quality public education. It will undoubtedly benefit society as a whole.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Strongly Disagree
As a taxpayer-funded entity, it should be appropriately funded and then monitored for accountability. Without law enforcement, there is no order.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Convicted Felons of aggravated and physical crimes should not possess.
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
Yes
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?
Secure borders, common defense, domestic tranquility, and a free marketplace that rewards good and punishes evil. Create laws that protect our natural resources and deal with those who do not.
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?
Very Conservative
VALUES
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
Parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.
Strongly Agree
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Strongly Disagree
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 am a child of God created in His image. Through Adam's sin, sin entered the world, so from birth I inherited the sin nature; however, through God's loving kindness, He provided redemption through my acceptance and belief in Christ's sacrifice at Calvary, and because of that faith, I shall reside for eternity in Heaven with Him. John 3:16
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.
Strongly Disagree
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Racism has existed for thousands of years and has affected the domestic security of all nations; whether that racism is amplified by color or status, it impacts stability. All should be treated equally. So sadly, yes, it is a threat.
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
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" God has only given this place for a time. When he put Adam here, He commanded him to be a good steward. We should do the same.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
The most reliable is nuclear, with plants that have been in service for 50 years with no safety or environmental issues. We are at a point where electricity is an overwhelming necessity in life as we know it. Uniformity in the industry is needed.
