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
I believe that every life, regardless of how it was conceived, deserves protection and respect.
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
I believe that elective abortions should not be permitted under any circumstance.
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
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
Stop funding foreign wars. Stop funding foreign research projects. Stop providing subsidies to illegal immigrants
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
The government should have no right to tell a business who they shall provide services to.
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
Although not stated anywhere in the Constitution, I believe that the Federal Government can not create a National church or use its powers to control or punish a religious belief.
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 - I believe that both Medicaid and Medicare need to be reformed in order to combat the unsustainable growth, fraud, and abled bodied dependency. These programs should be used for the elderly, disable people, and low income children.
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 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, Israel is a democratic ally in a hostile region and we have shared commitments to free speech, elections, and rule of law.
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?
On a limited basis, only those going through lawful channels, after enhanced background checks, and security screenings. There must also be cultural cohesion and we need to ensure that we continue to put the interest of all American citizens 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
I believe that traditional marriage is a sacred covenant established by God. That definition should not be up for reinterpretation by courts, politicians, or the government.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a firm believer in God and that he sent his son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for all mans sins. I put my faith in God above everything else and know that trusting in his will, timing, trials, and victories only strengthens my relationship with him.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.

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.
