QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Agree
While access to basic health care is important, public funds should be directed to providers that do not perform abortions, ensuring taxpayer dollars are used in a way that respects differing moral views while still supporting essential women’s health services.
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
I believe decisions about abortion should be made on a case by case basis between a woman and her physician. These are deeply personal and often complex medical situations, and especially in cases involving rape, incest, or serious risks to the health of the woman, those decisions should be guided by medical expertise, compassion, and individual circumstances rather than one-size-fits-all mandates.
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Choose not to answer
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Choose not to answer
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Choose not to answer
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
To me, separation of church and state means the government should not establish or force a religion, while fully protecting the First Amendment right of individuals to freely practice their faith. The Constitution was written in a culture strongly influenced by biblical moral principles, even though it is a secular governing document. Personal religious expression, including prayer, is protected in public life and government settings as long as it is voluntary and not imposed by the state. This
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Disagree
The government should not require individuals or businesses to act in ways that conflict with their sincerely held moral or religious beliefs, whether directly or through indirect pressure on corporations. Respect for constitutional protections and individual conscience is essential, and government overreach in this area should be approached with great caution and care.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
I support President Reagan’s vision of peace through strength, while also believing the United States should not serve as the world’s policeman. I approach military involvement with clear and limited criteria in mind: whether there is an imminent threat to our national security, an immediate need to protect American lives, a direct response to harm against Americans, or an attack on a NATO ally.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Yes. The United States’ relationship with Israel is important because Israel is a long standing democratic ally in a strategically vital region. The partnership strengthens national security, intelligence sharing, counterterrorism efforts, and technological innovation, while supporting regional stability and shared democratic values.
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.
Option C. Although I would prefer option D from a philosophical and ethical standpoint, millions of Americans over 65 have contributed to Medicare their entire lives and should be compensated for their investments. However, we still need to strive for more effective ways to reduce government intervention in healthcare at all levels. We need to move toward less government participation because it destroys the overall quality of health care.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Disagree
ECONOMY
What is your position on the minimum wage?
I believe minimum wage should be determined at the state level, allowing each community to set standards that reflect local economic conditions. This approach helps ensure that people can earn a fair living where they grew up, supporting opportunitie
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
I strongly agree that free enterprise and the right to private property are fundamental to a productive and thriving economy. Protecting these principles encourages innovation, personal responsibility, and opportunities for individuals and communities to grow and prosper.
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
My top priorities to eliminate government waste are: Streamlining bureaucracy by reducing redundant programs and simplifying reporting requirements. Improving oversight and accountability for government contracts and spending to ensure taxpayer dollars are used efficiently. Investing in technology and digital infrastructure to modernize operations, reduce paperwork, and cut unnecessary administrative costs.
IMMIGRATION
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree
I do not support the existence of sanctuary cities. While I believe in treating all individuals with fairness and dignity, local policies should work in partnership with federal immigration laws to ensure public safety and the rule of law are upheld.
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Agree
I agree that returning more control of education to states and local communities can help address declining academic performance. By allowing schools to set higher standards in subjects like math and science, and tailoring education to the needs of their students, we can better support children and ensure they are l
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Agree
American education should be funded and guided by our own citizens and government. Keeping foreign governments from funding our schools helps ensure that educational priorities reflect American values, needs, and the best interests of our students.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?
The goal of the criminal justice system should be to protect citizens, uphold the rule of law, and ensure public safety. At the same time, it should provide fair and just treatment, support rehabilitation when possible, and hold offenders accountable in a way that strengthens communities.
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Agree
Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.
Strongly Agree
American law is grounded in the Constitution, which guarantees equal protection, due process, and separation of religious authority from government. While individuals are free to practice their faith privately, all laws in the U.S. must remain secular and apply equally to everyone.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Public safety is best protected by focusing restrictions on criminals rather than law-abiding citizens. Responsible gun owners demonstrate every day that firearms themselves do not cause harm—people do. Strengthening enforcement against illegal activity, background checks for criminal behavior, and penalties for misuse can help keep communities safe without infringing on the rights of responsible Americans.
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?
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
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
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation online. Ensuring their safety while using digital platforms is essential, and policies should focus on prevention, education, and accountability to keep our children safe.
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.
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.
Choose not to answer
I support the expansion of gambling in my state.
Disagree
I believe it could have negative effects on community values and morality, and there are already concerns about transparency and accountability in how existing funds, such as lottery revenue for education, are being used. Expanding gambling without addressing these issues could create more problems than it solves. Fix what is broken first.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a Christian and spend time studying religious theory, which shapes my values of compassion, integrity, and service to others. At the same time, I deeply respect everyone’s right to their own beliefs and opinions, recognizing that the freedom to think and worship differently is a core part of the American dream.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
I do not support allowing people to vote without identification. Ensuring that every voter is properly verified is essential to protect the integrity of our elections, maintain public confidence, and uphold the principle of fair and secure voting for all citizens.
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Choose not to answer
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 Disagree
I do not agree with allowing biological males to participate in women’s sports or occupy spaces designated for biological women. Protecting women’s safety, privacy, and fair opportunities is essential, and policies should ensure that women can feel secure in sports, shelters, schools, and other women’s spaces.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Agree
Man-made climate change is a serious global threat that requires urgent and thoughtful political action. Addressing it responsibly is essential to protect our environment, public health, and the well-being of future generations.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
The most reliable energy sources for meeting growing electricity demand are a balanced mix of traditional and renewable options. Natural gas and nuclear power provide consistent, dependable baseload energy, along with solar and wind.
