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
I am pro-life because I believe every human life has value and deserves protection, including unborn children. For this reason, I do not think taxpayer money should be used to fund Planned Parenthood or other organizations that provide or support abortion.
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
I believe elective abortions should not be allowed, because unborn children deserve protection and the chance at life. However, I recognize that there are rare and serious medical situations where continuing a pregnancy may put the mother’s life at risk or where the child has a condition that makes survival after birth impossible. In those cases, I believe decisions should be left to qualified medical professionals, who can carefully evaluate the medical facts.
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
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Strongly Agree
ECONOMY
What is your position on the minimum wage?
With the cost of living continuing to rise, it’s important that the minimum wage keeps pace so that workers can afford basic necessities like housing, food, healthcare, and transportation.
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.
Taxpayer lobbyist with the exception of local officials and educators. Increasing transparency, and Capping state and local spending.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
The separation of church and state was intended to prevent the government from being controlled by religion, not to remove faith and moral values from public life. In my view, our beliefs and morals, often shaped by faith, help guide us to make ethical and compassionate decisions. Leaders should be free to draw on those values when serving their constituents, while still respecting the rights and beliefs of others.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

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.
B and C
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Neutral
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, for Security & Intelligence.
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.
Choose not to answer
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Strongly Agree
VALUES
Government should recognize and support the fundamental right and essential duty of parents to direct their child's health and educational well-being.
Strongly Agree
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.
Strongly Agree
I believe that allowing a child to undergo transgender-related treatments at a young age can cause serious mental, psychological, and health risks. Children are too young to fully understand these choices. If a parent makes that decision for them, I believe it should be considered child abuse, and the parent should be held accountable.
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 support the expansion of gambling in my state.
Neutral
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a Christian who believes in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I believe in putting God first in everything I do, and I live my life as a child of God. I value my faith and the church, and I believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. Through Him, I find strength and purpose, and I believe that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
Having identification helps deter voting fraud.
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
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
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Strongly Agree
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Solar/wind Natural Gas Nuclear
ABOUT YOU
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
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
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?
I believe the goal of the criminal justice system should include meaningful parole reform that prioritizes public safety and accountability. Perpetrators should serve more than half of their sentences before becoming eligible for parole, helping Texas become a true sentencing state where sentences handed down by courts more closely reflect the time actually served.
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Strongly Agree
Online predators pose a serious threat to children, and stronger action is needed to protect them. I believe there should be stiffer penalties for those who exploit or target minors online, along with closer monitoring of offenders. Tougher laws and enforcement can help deter these crimes and ensure children’s safety.
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?
I believe gun laws should focus on safety and responsibility. Gun owners should be at least 21, have no violent felony convictions, and not have a diagnosed mental condition that makes them dangerous. Gun owners must be held accountable if a child gains access to their firearm. I do believe Texas already does a very good job with the stipulations currently in place
