OTHER INFORMATION
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?
When it’s clear that the mother’s life is in danger, everything possible should be done to save both the life of the mother and the baby.
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.
Choose not to answer
We should have compassion for those who struggle to grow their families, but many times science is ahead of our laws, and we need to learn more to ensure all human life is legally protected.
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Strongly Agree
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
There is no such thing as the separation of church and state. The state does not have the right to force someone to practice any religion. Our laws were founded on Judeo-Christian values.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
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?
Yes, it is important. Christians are called to pray for and seek the peace of Jerusalem.
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. More work needs to be done to eliminate fraud in our health care system
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Choose not to answer
The nine most terrifying words in the English language are “I’m from the government, I’m here to help.” - Ronald Reagan
ECONOMY
What is your position on the minimum wage?
As a small business owner I know the market should drive minimum wage and every employer has the responsibility to pay their employees a fair wage.
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.
* Reduced government regulations *. Transparency and accountability to Government spending * Expand the State Auditor’s power to inspect the records of any organization receiving government funding to identify waste and fraud * No-bid purchase agreements should be eliminated *. General contractors should use a local preference clause when soliciting bids for services rendered.
IMMIGRATION
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.
Agree
Agree. Education is fundamental for the future of North Carolina. I support any measures that will increase funding to our local school systems.
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Strongly Agree
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?
The first duty of government is to keep its citizens safe. The justice system should be firm, fair, and predictable. All are equal under the law, and the punishment of offenders should be to deter crime and uphold the rule of law.
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Strongly Agree
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?

Agree
