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?

Health of the mother.

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


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

Separation of church and state means the government can’t set up an official religion, and it also cannot stop people from practicing their faith.

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?

The relationship between the United States and Israel is important because it is rooted in shared democratic values, mutual respect for individual freedoms, and a commitment to security and stability. As allies, we support one another through strong cooperation in intelligence, economic partnership, and the defense of democratic principles.


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. Medicaid and Medicare should remain available for those who depend on them. At the same time, government should be actively working to reform these and other programs to improve efficiency, strengthen oversight, and reduce/eliminate fraud so taxpayer dollars are used responsibly.

The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.

Choose not to answer

Government databases are always a concern for me. Information can be used for good purposes, but it can also be misused, which is why protecting privacy and limiting unnecessary data collection matters.


ECONOMY

What is your position on the minimum wage?

I view the minimum wage as a baseline starting wage for entry level and lower skill positions, intended to support workforce entry while allowing room for advancement based on skills, experience, and productivity.

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.

My priorities to eliminate government waste begin with increasing transparency and accountability so taxpayers can clearly see how their dollars are spent. I will work to identify and eliminate inefficient or duplicative programs, streamline unnecessary regulations, and modernize government operations to reduce costs. Every decision will be guided by simple questions: is it affordable, is it sustainable, and is it truly the role of government?


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.

Strongly Agree

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 primary goal of the criminal justice system is to keep the public safe while upholding the rule of law and ensuring fairness and accountability.

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?

Protecting public safety is essential, and that starts with enforcing existing laws and holding criminals accountable.


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


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

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 believe with all my heart that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who came to this world and gave His life for my(our) sins. My faith isn’t just something I believe—it shapes how I try to live every day. It calls me to love others, to serve where I can, to show grace, and to remember that none of us are perfect. I strive to treat people with kindness and humility, leaving judgment to God and choosing compassion instead.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree


EQUALITY

Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.

Strongly Agree


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
