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?
No exceptions.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Disagree
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
Working families don’t need relief funded by bigger government or higher taxes on anyone. They need lower costs, higher wages, and a government that stops wasting their money. Raising taxes has never made Washington more responsible. Real relief comes from cutting wasteful spending, growing the economy, and letting families keep more of what they earn.
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
Zero-based budgeting so agencies must justify every dollar they spend, every year. Ending duplicative and unnecessary federal programs that overlap, underperform, or no longer serve a clear purpose. Strong oversight and accountability, including regular audits and consequences for agencies that misuse taxpayer funds. Reining in bloated bureaucracies by limiting unchecked hiring and administrative growth. Focusing federal spending on core responsibilities rather than expanding Washington’s ro
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 American should be forced by the government to violate their moral or religious beliefs. Freedom of conscience is a foundational right protected by the Constitution. A government that can compel speech or action against deeply held beliefs is a government that has gone too far. We can protect both religious liberty and equal treatment without abandoning our core freedoms.
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
The phrase “separation of church and state” does not appear anywhere in the U.S. Constitution. What the Constitution actually says, in the First Amendment, is that the government may not establish a national religion and may not prohibit the free exercise of religion. The idea of “separation of church and state” comes from an 1802 letter by Thomas Jefferson, meant to explain that government should not control the church — not that faith should be pushed out of public 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.
D
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 people’s medical conditions. That kind of data collection raises serious privacy, liberty, and abuse concerns. Medical decisions and health information belong to patients and their doctors, not federal bureaucrats. We can evaluate healthcare costs and outcomes using anonymized data without sacrificing personal privacy or expanding government surveillance.
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 our own sovereignty unless we face an imminent threat. America should be strong, prepared, and respected, but also disciplined in how and when we engage abroad. Our foreign policy should put American security, borders, and interests first, avoid endless wars, and use military force only when it is clearly necessary to protect the nation.
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, the United States’ relationship with Israel is critically important. Israel is one of America’s closest and most reliable allies and a democratic nation that shares our values and commitment to fighting terrorism. Supporting Israel strengthens U.S. national security, promotes stability in a dangerous region, and shows that America stands by its allies against threats like Iran and terrorist groups. This partnership is both a moral responsibility and a strategic necessity.
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. This includes extremist ideologies that seek to impose Sharia law within Western societies. Americans should be concerned about efforts to create parallel legal or cultural systems inside the United States, including influence centers such as East Plano Islamic Center in Texas. This is about defending the Constitution, individual liberty, and the rule of law.
IMMIGRATION
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Immigration should be legal, orderly, and serve the national interest. Those who follow the law, pass background checks, respect and adopt American values, and contribute to our economy should be allowed to immigrate. The United States must secure the border, enforce existing laws, and fix a broken system that rewards illegal entry. We can be compassionate while still protecting sovereignty and the rule of law.
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.
I am a Christian, and my faith in Jesus guides how I live, work, and serve others. I believe in the value of every human life, personal responsibility, humility, and loving your neighbor. My faith teaches me that freedom is a gift from God and that leaders are called to serve with integrity, compassion, and accountability. While government should never control faith, faith should inform our character and our commitment to doing what is right.
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?
Oil and Gas, and Nuclear.
ABOUT YOU
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.
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?
The Second Amendment was drafted to promote public safety by protecting the people from tyranny. It exists to ensure citizens have the ability to defend themselves not only from criminals, but from a government that could overreach its power. A free society depends on an armed and responsible citizenry, which ultimately serves as a safeguard for liberty and public safety.
