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?
Medical emergency
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.

ECONOMY
What is your position on the minimum wage?
Government mandates on minimum wages are artificial influences on employment markets and they generally end up harming those they are purported to help.
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.
All government offices should be good stewards of taxpayer funds by focusing efforts on core functions and service of the people the office represents. This includes responsible allocation of resources, both in terms of taxpayer dollars and employment resources. Ensuring department budgets are free of waste and are being used to provide services to citizens.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
The idea of separation of church and state comes from the First Amendment. It essentially guarantees people to be free from government restrictions on whether they choose to worship and how they choose to worship, while also prohibiting the government from creating an official religion.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
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.

Israel remains one of our strongest allies in global politics, and that important relationship should be strengthened for global security purposes.

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
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.

ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Disagree
