OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Disagree
I believe that agencies that provide services other than abortion should not have their funding cut just because they provide women the option of having an abortion.
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
The right to abortion is enshrined in the Washington state constitution. As a man, I am incapable of giving birth and so naturally cannot have an abortion. With this being the case, I do not believe that I should dictate when a woman can have an abortion.
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Choose not to answer
Abortion rights are ingrained in the Washington state constitution. I believe in the will of the people governing the State.
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Choose not to answer
Abortion rights are ingrained in the Washington state constitution. I believe the will of the people should determine the laws governing the State. Human embryos created through artificial methods are still embryos and their destruction would be equivalent to an abortion.
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Strongly Agree
Selective enforcement of the law has been used to oppress Black people throughout history. With this being the case I am strongly against anyone choosing what laws will, or will not, be enforced.
ECONOMY
What is your position on the minimum wage?
The market should determine the wage as opposed to thegovernment artificially inflating it. Forcing companies to pay more than they can reasonably afford will result in fewer jobs and those holding on to their positions will likely work fewer hours.
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.
Eliminating the income tax. Ensuring that schools cannot keep secrets from parents (Parents Rights) Audits (to determine where our dollars are going). Accountability (to determine what the results we the people are getting from the money spent). Prosecution to the fullest extent of the law for those who engage in fraud or who obstruct investigations into fraud.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
The separation of church and state is a foundational political and legal principle that ensures government and religious institutions remain independent from one another. It protects the state from religious interference and safeguards religious freedom by preventing the government from establishing an official state religion or favoring any specific faith
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
This would violate the principle of "separation of church and state".
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) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
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?
The United States’ relationship with Israel is important because it is the only ‘free democracy’ in the middle east. Our interest are aligned when it comes to certain goals, such as keeping Iran from obtaining weapons grade uranium.
IMMIGRATION
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree
All laws should be enforced equally. The disproportionate enforcement of the law discriminates against certain segments of the population. Allowing some members of the population to to violate the law while stringently enforcing the laws against other races is nothing but discrimination. Selective enforcement of the laws of the land was used to oppress Blacks in America throughout history and I will never advocate for making some people immune to crime.
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
The people 'on the ground' know what's best for their community. A blanket policy that does not take into account the diverse needs of the each state is doomed to fail some states.
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Strongly Agree
Many educational institutes have no problem with pushing foreign agendas as long as it enriches those in power at the educational institute. It is best to remove that foreign influence.
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.
Strongly 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.
Choose not to answer
I choose not to answer this question because of the single-minded definition of 'marriage'. Different people have different beliefs with regards to the definition of marriage.
I support the expansion of gambling in my state.
Strongly Agree
Honestly, I would like to bet online. I understand that there is an issue with gambling addiction, especially with our youth, but there are currently ways to bypass the existing restrictions. Therefore, I believe that the state should just stop attempting to be an obstacle as it is not effectively preventing individuals from engaging in online gambling.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a Christian.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
If you are going to cast a vote, then your identity needs to be confirmed as well as your citizenship.
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.
Strongly Agree
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Strongly Disagree
This is a joke. I am old enough to remember when it was called global warming. Then it was called global cooling. As the grifters were proven wrong each time they decided to brand it 'climate chage' so that it didn't matter whether it got warmer or cooler, they'd always be able to keep the grift alive. Climate change is a scare tactic used to enrich the wealthy green energy advocates while draining money from the government that could be better used to improve the lives of the poor.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
I believe that it is coal because of the resistance to building nuclear power plants. Until such time as we begin building and utilizing nuclear power there is no reliable alternative.
ABOUT YOU
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
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!
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?
To punish individuals convicted of crimes. A secondary goal would be to rehabilitate those who are amenable to it.
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Strongly Agree
Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.
Strongly Agree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Those individuals with felony convictions, a history of abusing drugs or mental health issues (including gender dysphoria) should be prohibited from purchasing firearms. What is really needed is less social justice reform and stricter prosecution of those convicted of violating existing gun laws.
