QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
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
Human life is sacred and deserving of protection from the moment it begins. Embryos created through artificial methods are still human beings, not disposable property or research material. Their lives should be respected and protected from purposeful destruction.
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
I believe elective abortion should be limited and that our laws should reflect the value of protecting innocent human life. However, there are narrow and serious circumstance where abortion may be considered. This circumstance includes when the life of the mother is in immediate danger and all reasonable efforts to save both lives have failed. I oppose abortion as a means of convenience, population control, or late-term procedures.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Disagree
Taxpayer dollars should never be used to subsidize abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood. Public funds should not support organizations that perform or promote abortion, either directly or indirectly, including through Title X or other government grants.
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Strongly Agree
Federal law should be enforced as written. The Comstock Act remains on the books and prohibits the interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs. Ignoring or selectively enforcing existing law undermines the rule of law and erodes public trust in our institutions. Enforcing the Comstock Act helps ensure accountability, protects women from the risks of unregulated chemical abortions, and affirms that federal agencies do not have the authority to override Congress.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
No individual or business should be forced to provide services that violate their moral or religious beliefs. Freedom of conscience and religious liberty are fundamental rights protected by the Constitution. Government should not compel citizens to act against deeply held convictions. Respecting these freedoms ensures a pluralistic society where both individuals and businesses can operate with integrity while still serving the public in ways that align with their values.
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
“Separation of church and state” means that the government cannot establish, favor, or coerce religious practice, but it does not prevent individuals or communities from living out their faith. It protects both religious freedom and the rights of all citizens to act according to their conscience, ensuring government remains neutral while people are free to worship or not without interference.
NATIONAL SECURITY
With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened. B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger. D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.
B. The United States should selectively support countries promoting democracy and fighting tyranny. This allows us to stand with strong allies like Israel while prioritizing American sovereignty and intervening only when national security is at stake.
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber, economic, and intellectual property threats. The U.S. must remain vigilant, strengthen defenses, protect technology, and coordinate with allies to counter these threats.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Yes. The United States’ relationship with Israel is vitally important. Israel is a key democratic ally in a volatile region, and supporting its security helps advance U.S. national interests, promote stability, and uphold shared values of democracy and human rights. A strong partnership also strengthens intelligence, defense cooperation, and regional security.
Islamic terrorism is a threat to the United States' national security.
Strongly Agree
Islamic terrorism remains a serious threat to the United States’ national security. We must remain vigilant, strengthen intelligence and counterterrorism capabilities, and work with allies to prevent attacks while protecting American citizens and interests at home and abroad.
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. Medicaid and Medicare should remain available to support those in need, but no additional taxpayer-funded healthcare programs are necessary. Individuals and families should have the freedom to choose private healthcare options, while the government focuses on essential programs and fiscal responsibility.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Strongly Disagree
The government should not maintain databases tracking individuals’ medical conditions for economic purposes. Such programs risk violating privacy, personal freedom, and the doctor-patient relationship. Health data should remain confidential, and policies should focus on improving access and outcomes without creating government surveillance of private medical information.
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
A market-based economy encourages competition, rewards initiative, and limits the concentration of power in government. Protecting private property and economic freedom not only drives economic growth but also preserves individual liberty and personal responsibility. Government’s role should be to provide fair rules, protect property rights, and create an environment where small businesses and workers can thrive
People who can afford to pay more taxes should do so in order to provide relief for working families.
Disagree
Working families deserve relief but raising taxes especially by expanding government redistribution is not the most effective or sustainable way to help them. Higher taxes often slow economic growth, reduce investment, and ultimately lead to fewer job opportunities and lower wages. The best way to support working families is by growing the economy, keeping taxes low, controlling inflation, and allowing families to keep more of what they earn.
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
The national debt is a serious threat to our economic stability and to future generations. The federal government must take responsibility by controlling spending, prioritizing core functions, and eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse. I support responsible spending cuts, budgeting reforms, and greater accountability to ensure taxpayer dollars are used efficiently while protecting essential services and honoring commitments to seniors, veterans, and those truly in need.
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
Require regular audits of all federal agencies and enforce accountability. Eliminate redundant and overlapping federal programs. Strengthen oversight of federal contracts and grants. Reduce bureaucratic overhead and unnecessary administrative growth. Modernize government systems to improve efficiency and cut costs.
IMMIGRATION
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Immigration should be based on lawful entry, merit, and the ability to contribute to American society. Priority should be given to those who respect U.S. laws, support our economy, and can integrate successfully. Illegal entry should not be rewarded, and border security must be enforced. Refugees and asylum seekers should be admitted only through legal, vetted channels, ensuring both compassion and national safety.
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree
I do not support sanctuary cities. All jurisdictions should enforce federal immigration laws to protect public safety and uphold the rule of law. Allowing local policies to shield undocumented individuals from legal enforcement undermines our sovereignty and the integrity of the immigration system.
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
Education decisions are best made at the state and local level, close to the families and communities they serve. Eliminating the federal Department of Education would restore control to parents, local school boards, and states, encourage innovation, reduce bureaucracy, and ensure resources are spent efficiently to improve student outcomes.
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Strongly Agree
Foreign governments should not fund American education. Allowing them to influence schools or universities risks compromising academic integrity, national security, and American values. Education should be independent, locally controlled, and focused on preparing students without outside political or ideological influence.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Strongly Agree
The government has a duty to protect children from sexual exploitation online. This includes enforcing laws against predators, regulating harmful content, and supporting parents and educators in keeping children safe while preserving their ability to use technology responsibly.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
I support the Second Amendment as a fundamental right. Restrictions should focus on keeping firearms out of the hands of criminals, convicted felons, and anyone who poses a danger to themselves or others. Law-abiding citizens should be able to own and carry guns for self-defense, hunting, and recreational purposes without undue government interference. Public safety can be enhanced through enforcement of existing laws rather than broad new restrictions.
ABOUT YOU
Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.
No, I have never been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court.
Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.
No, I have never been convicted of a felony.
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
I hold very conservative views on economic, social, and foreign policy issues. I strongly support limited government, free markets, traditional family values, religious liberty, national security, and the protection of innocent life.
VALUES
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.
Strongly Agree
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex are harmful and constitute child abuse. Children are not capable of making lifelong medical or social decisions about gender, and parents, doctors, and policymakers should prioritize their physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
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
Marriage is a sacred, God-ordained, and legal union between one man and one woman. The government does not have the authority to redefine it. This traditional definition upholds the family structure, protects children, and preserves the moral and social foundation of society.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a born-again Christian, guided by faith in God and living according to His principles of honesty, compassion, personal responsibility, and service to others. My values emphasize the sanctity of life, the importance of family, and the moral foundation of a free and just society.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
Voter identification is essential to protect the integrity of elections and ensure every vote is legitimate. Requiring photo ID helps prevent fraud, strengthens public confidence in the electoral process, and upholds the principle of fair and secure elections.
EQUALITY
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
Biological males should not participate in women’s sports or occupy spaces designated for biological women. Protecting women’s safety, privacy, and fairness in sports, bathrooms, locker rooms, shelters, and other women’s spaces is essential to uphold basic rights and standards.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
The most reliable energy sources are natural gas, nuclear, and responsibly managed hydroelectric power. They provide consistent, affordable electricity to meet growing demand while supporting economic growth and energy independence.
