OTHER INFORMATION
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
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Abortion should never be allowed
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Strongly Agree
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
People who can afford to pay more taxes should do so in order to provide relief for working families.
Strongly Disagree
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
Audit federal agencies for duplication and inefficiency. Eliminate programs that fail to deliver measurable results. Reduce administrative overhead and unelected bureaucracy. Tie funding to performance and outcomes. Shift responsibilities back to states where services can be delivered more efficiently and responsibly.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
It means the government cannot establish a religion or interfere with religious practice. It does not mean faith must be excluded from public life. The Constitution protects religious liberty and the right of individuals to live out their values while participating fully in civic life.
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, but no additional taxpayer-funded healthcare programs are necessary. Healthcare reform should focus on affordability, transparency, and patient choice. Expanding federal control increases costs and reduces access. Decisions should remain between patients and their doctors, not Washington bureaucrats.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Strongly Disagree
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 help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny.
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?
A strong United States Israel alliance promotes regional stability, intelligence cooperation, and deterrence against threats to American interests and our allies. Standing with Israel sends a clear message that the United States supports democratic partners facing terrorism and aggression.
Islamic terrorism is a threat to the United States' national security.
Strongly Agree
IMMIGRATION
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
America is a nation of laws, and immigration must be legal, orderly, and in the national interest. Those who wish to immigrate should do so through lawful processes that prioritize public safety, respect for our culture, and economic contribution without reliance on government aid. Merit-based immigration, family unity within the law, and limited humanitarian relief are appropriate. Open borders and illegal immigration undermine the rule of law, harm workers, and strain communities.
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
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
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
My values are rooted in my Catholic faith, the dignity of every human life, the importance of family, and personal responsibility. I believe a healthy society depends on moral leadership, strong families, service to others, and respect for individual liberty, not dependence on government.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
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
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
A reliable energy strategy must be realistic and diversified. Domestic oil and natural gas, along with nuclear energy, provide dependable baseload power. Energy policy should prioritize affordability, reliability, and national security over political
ABOUT YOU

No
Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.
No
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
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Strongly Agree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Existing laws should be enforced. Law-abiding citizens should not face additional restrictions that infringe on constitutional rights. Public safety is best achieved by addressing violent crime and repeat offenders, not limiting lawful gun ownership.
