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

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Because the question specifies elective abortion, none. Every unborn child deserves legal protection. Medical treatment necessary to save a pregnant woman’s life is not an elective abortion and should remain available, with every reasonable effort made to save both mother and child. As a legislator, I will support any legislation that saves lives, even when it does not achieve full protection immediately.

Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.

Strongly Agree

The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.

Strongly Agree

The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.

Strongly Agree


ECONOMY

What is your position on the minimum wage?

I respect Florida voters’ decision on the minimum wage but oppose additional mandates that could eliminate entry-level jobs, raise prices, and burden small businesses. We should grow wages through economic growth, training, and opportunity.

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.

Audit agencies and contracts, require open and competitive bidding, eliminate duplicate programs, crack down on fraud, and stop funding programs that cannot show results. Savings should go toward tax relief and paying down debt.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

As Jefferson intended, the “wall of separation” limits government, not faith. Government must not establish religion or interfere with its free exercise. It does not require removing God or religious expression from public life.

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Strongly 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.

C is closest. Medicare, Medicaid, veterans’ benefits, and targeted safety-net programs should remain available to those who qualify. I oppose government-run universal healthcare and support giving patients more choices and clearer prices.

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?

Yes. Israel is a democratic ally in a dangerous region. We share important security interests and deep Judeo-Christian ties. America should stand with Israel and support its right to exist and defend itself.


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.

Agree

Foreign governments should not be allowed to buy influence in American schools. Funding from hostile nations should be banned, and any foreign funding that is currently permitted must be fully disclosed.


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.

Strongly Agree

I support the expansion of gambling in my state.

Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a practicing Catholic who believes Jesus Christ is Lord and that faith must shape how we live and serve others. I value every human life from conception to natural death, strong families, religious liberty, honesty, and service.


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.

Strongly Agree


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.

Disagree

What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?

No single source will meet our growing needs. We need an all-of-the-above approach that includes nuclear, natural gas, solar, and new technology, but reliability and affordability must come first.


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?

Very 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?

The goal should be to protect the public, support victims, hold criminals accountable, and deter future crime. Punishment should fit the offense, and rehabilitation should be encouraged when it can help prevent someone from committing another crime.

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?

We need to enforce the laws already on the books and keep guns out of the hands of violent criminals. New restrictions on law-abiding gun owners will not stop criminals and would infringe on our Second Amendment rights.
