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).

Strongly Agree

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Never. Elective means non-emergent, such as when the life of the mother is not in jeopardy. If the life of the mother is in jeopardy during birth, then this changes and is no longer an elective situation and becomes an emergency. We should save the life of the mother.

Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.

Strongly Agree

All man kind is made in the image of God and all life should be protected at every stage of life.

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

Strongly Agree

All life should be protected at every stage.

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?

Minimum wage should be indexed to inflation, so workers' pay automatically adjusts with the cost of living and does not lose purchasing power over time no one working full time should fall behind simply because prices rise faster than their paycheck.

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.

Enforce zero tolerance for nonprofit fraud. Any nonprofit or contractor that steals public money, falsifies records, or diverts money from the people it is supposed to serve should lose public funding immediately, face a full audit face prosecution, and be required to repay taxpayers. I would strengthen coordination among state agencies, county investigators, the attorney general and federal law enforcement so suspicious billing, shell non profits fabricated client records are easily identified.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

This is not in the constitution, nor is it the rule of law. John Adams, the second U.S. president, wrote, "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." Our founders were very supportive of the church and religious liberty.

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.

I am reminded of President Reagan when he said, "In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem." The government has turned healthcare into a crisis for many. The Affordable Care Act is not affordable! Give people liberty to choose for them selves. B.

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, at this point, Israel would be our strongest ally in a war. We've seen over the years that many countries in NATO have not wanted to help us in military conflicts.


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.

Strongly Agree

Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.

Strongly Agree


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

Government is not above God

I support the expansion of gambling in my state.

Strongly Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a born-again believer in the risen from the dead, triumphant King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ the Lord!


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

Without pure and secure elections, you don't have a free country


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

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

Nuclear energy. As long as it remains affordable and reliable.


ABOUT YOU

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?

To protect the public safety of our citizens, enforce our laws, enforce our constitution, and uphold the rule of law.

Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.

Strongly Agree

The primary responsibility should belong to the parents, and the government should support the parents and protect children from all forms of sexual exploitation.

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?

None, except for those who have a mental disorder and want to hurt themselves or others.
