QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Strongly Agree
Abortion laws should be up to the states.
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Strongly Agree
I support IVF for families that can't conceive but I do not support purposeful destruction of embryos.
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Exceptions should include the life of the mother, rape, and incest.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Disagree
Defund Planned Parenthood.
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
Free Enterprise is the best way to grow wealth, to help all people thrive. History proves that full scale socialism and communism inevitably bring widespread poverty, economic failure, and immense human suffering, including millions of deaths from famine and repression.
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.
1. Run full audits on federal agencies to spot inefficiencies. 2. Push rescission packages to permanently end wasteful spending. 3. Keep the DOGE momentum going and slash administrative bloat. 4. Crack down on no bid contracts and make procurement more transparent. 5. Merge or shut down outdated agencies, like the Department of Education.
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?
Separation of church and state means the federal government has no business establishing a national religion or prohibiting the free exercise of our faith. We have the right to live out our Christian values without Big Government interference.
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 other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary
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.
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.
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, our relationship with Israel is important for America's safety. They're the only democracy in the Middle East. A strong ally standing up to dangerous groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran in that area protects both countries.
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?
We should allow immigrants who enter legally, assimilate into American culture, and contribute through work, taxes, and respecting our laws. Ban those from terror-sponsoring nations. We can't import welfare dependency; high assistance rates in groups like Somalis prove we need merit based rules that put Americans first.
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.
Conservative Catholic.
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?
Gas, oil, and nuclear are reliable and effective forms of energy to supply the growing electricity demand.
