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?
Elective abortion should never be allowed under any circumstances.
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
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 government cannot establish or mandate a national religion, but it does not mean excluding faith, religious expression, or moral values from public life. People of faith do not surrender their beliefs when they enter the public square, and our laws should reflect the moral foundations that shaped this nation while fully protecting religious liberty for all.
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.
B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny.
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 vital because Israel is our strongest and most reliable ally in the Middle East, a fellow democracy, and a key partner in intelligence, counterterrorism, and national security. Supporting Israel strengthens American security, defends shared Judeo-Christian values, and helps deter hostile regimes and terrorist organizations that threaten both Israel and the United States.
Islamic terrorism is a threat to the United States' national security.
Strongly Agree
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
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.
Defund ideologically driven programs and agencies. Shrink the federal bureaucracy and return power to the states. Audit all federal agencies and enforce accountability. Cut foreign aid and international spending that does not benefit Americans. Eliminate pork-barrel spending and earmarks.
IMMIGRATION
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Only individuals who follow the law, respect American sovereignty, and contribute positively to the nation should be allowed to immigrate to the United States. Immigration must be legal, merit-based, and in the clear national interest of the American people. This includes securing the border first, ending illegal entry, prioritizing skills, work ethic, and self-sufficiency, and admitting refugees only through strict vetting and in limited numbers that do not undermine public safety.
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
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Strongly Agree
Yes. Protecting children from sexual exploitation is a core responsibility of government. This includes enforcing strong laws against predators, holding tech companies accountable, and prioritizing child safety over corporate profits or ideological agendas that weaken parental rights and law enforcement.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
None. I believe and fully support the 2nd Amendment.

I have NEVER been penalized for sexual misconduct of any kind.
Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am Jewish and believe in the same God worshipped by Christians—the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. My values are grounded in faith, personal responsibility, and moral law. I strongly value family, freedom, human dignity, hard work, respect for life, and the rule of law. These Judeo-Christian principles form the foundation of Western civilization and have guided my commitment to liberty, justice, and service to others.

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?
Domestic oil, natural gas and nuclear power are the most reliable sources to meet growing electricity demand, providing affordable, consistent energy, and energy independence without relying on weather-dependent or foreign-controlled sources.
