Balance. Balancing a living minimum wage with macro-economic stability requires a careful, phased approach that protects both worker livelihoods and business viability.

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.

Uncompensated healthcare. Mainly within the emergency care system. incentivize people to use less expensive care options such as telehealth Payments to deceased individuals.- self explanatory Medicare overpayments


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

It’s defining the political difference between religious organizations and the state.

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Strongly Disagree

While I am against discrimination, forcing people, or businesses, to act against deeply held convictions undermines personal autonomy and the principles of a free society.


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

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

Strongly Disagree

The government should be limited as to the information they keep and for the systems they are involved in.


NATIONAL SECURITY

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.

Neutral

Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?

Yes. They have been an ally to the US for many years.


IMMIGRATION

I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.

Strongly Disagree

The idea behind sanctuary cities has created a bigger problem within our immigration system. For example, in Colorado, the state legislature has made it illegal for jails to share information with immigration officials. First, this is the safest place to for an illegal immigrant to be transferred into federal custody so immigration officials do not have to confront individuals on the street. Second, this forces immigration officials to focus on illegal immigrants who have committed crimes.


EDUCATION

I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.

Agree

Statistics have shown that scores have continued to drop under the US Department of Education.

Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.

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

After 18, a person should be allowed to do whatever they’d like to their bodies. Until then, we need to allow the children to grow up and mature.

Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.

Neutral

Government should stay out of any business not related to essential government services.

I support the expansion of gambling in my state.

Agree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I believe in as minimal government intrusion as possible.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Agree


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

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

Nuclear
