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?
I don't agree with elective abortion do not support the use of them.
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Strongly Agree
Life begins at the moment of conception, therefore life should be protected by law from conception to death.
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?
Federal minimum wage should not be raised. Employers and markets should determine wage based on skill, experience and industry.
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.
Cut spending on illegal residents, Promote financial integrity, responsibility and transparency, Hunt down fraud, waste and abuse of tax dollars and federal funds, Eliminate "Woke" spending such as DEI programs.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
It means absolutely nothing to me. I don't support this ideology. To separate the church from the state would be the annihilation of our nation. God is Government and America has been declared as One Nation Under God from her inception. To change that would destroy our Nation's foundation.
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 oppose taxpayer-funded healthcare. I believe that it is government overreach and that the government should have a limited role in providing healthcare. I also believe that legislation, including caps on costs that keeps healthcare affordable for the working families our our nation is needed. I support health savings plans, private sector insurance plans and reforms to Medicaid. Medicare should remain available.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Strongly Disagree
Medical history is private and should be protected by privacy laws.
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?
Israel has been a longtime military and spiritual ally. They assist us with providing protections from threats in the Middle East while being a major foundational influence in the Judeo-Christian values we embrace as a God fearing nation. We owe to ourselves to continue to nurture and protect this important relationship.
IMMIGRATION
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree
I believe immigrants help to make America stronger when they come legally. If a person's first act in this country is illegal entry, they are not an immigrant, they're a criminal.
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.
Strongly Agree
Funding from foreign governments is a pathway to the introduction of anti- American values and indoctrination of our youth. I strongly oppose it.
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
I agree fully.
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.
Strongly Agree
I feel this is especially true for school and educators. School is for education, not for indoctrination. As child abuse, I believe that laws should be created to include these actions and deemed as a criminal act within the educational system.
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.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a Christian disciple of Jesus Christ. I believe in the salvation of the human soul by the redemptive work done through Christ's death, burial, resurrection and ascension. I believe the Bible is the indisputable and eternal law of God and that it is the framework for America's values. I believe that marriage is a covenant created by the God of the Bible and is honorable, holy and unchangeable. I believe in the preservation of Faith, Family, Freedom and the promotion of personal responsibility. I believe in the right to life. I believe that God's word clearly supports the protection of borders, complete parental oversight of children, the right to protect property and the responsibility to preserve our nation.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
Every American should have a photo ID issued by the state of their residency that validates their citizenship. This ID should be mandatory for voting.
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?
I believe that Nuclear power as well as fossil fuel generated power is the most reliable source of energy.
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 hold criminals accountable for their crimes while imposing consequences and judgements commiserate with their crimes and without violating legal statutes.
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Strongly Agree
More funding for cyber misuse, trafficking, and for preventing and locating missing and exploited children is necessary.
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?
American's have the right to bear arms. That right should be restricted or removed is misused. I believe more extensive background checks and firearm tracking should be required to keep legal firearms out of the hands of children and criminals. Mechanisms that convert hand guns into automatic weapons (such as switches) should be banned.
