OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Strongly Agree
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?
Non-Viable Pregnancy & Ectopic Pregnancies
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Strongly Agree
Human is Human
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?
Government should neither force religion on anyone nor discriminate against religion. The Constitution clearly grants EVERY citizen full freedom to practice and express faith.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
The government has no place forcing a business to operate in a way that conflicts with the owner’s moral or religious values.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
The Chinese Communist Party is a strategic adversary, and America must defend its security, economy, and freedoms without becoming what we oppose.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
As a Christian, I recognize Israel’s biblical significance, and as a constitutional conservative, I support Israel as a vital ally that shares our values and strengthens America’s security.
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. BUT!!!!! We must protect seniors and the vulnerable while reforming Medicaid and Medicare to restore choice, reduce waste, and ensure long-term sustainability. Compassion means fixing broken systems, not pretending unlimited government spending is sustainable.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Strongly Disagree
Absolutely Not! That is a violation of medical privacy.
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
Economic freedom and secure property rights create opportunity; government control destroys it.
What is your position on the minimum wage?
I do not believe in a government-mandated minimum wage. Wages should be agreed upon freely between the business owner and the employee, not dictated by the government.
I support using taxpayer funds to lobby the state legislature.
Strongly Disagree
UH......... NO!
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
1. Audit Every Program 2. End Corporate Welfare & Special-Interest Subsidies 3. Reduce Bureaucracy & Red Tape 4. Zero-Based Budgeting 5. Protect Taxpayer Dollars with Transparency
IMMIGRATION
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree
A nation without borders is not a nation. Immigration laws exist for a reason, and they must be enforced fairly and consistently. There is nothing compassionate about ignoring the law. Those who are in this country illegally should be deported and follow the same legal process as the millions who are waiting to enter lawfully.
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
The Constitution does not grant the federal government authority over education. Centralizing control in Washington undermines federalism, invites bureaucracy, and produces one-size-fits-all mandates that fail students and teachers alike.
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Strongly Agree
Education and governance in the United States must remain accountable to the American people, not to foreign governments. Foreign funding, especially from authoritarian regimes, creates conflicts of interest and threatens academic independence and national security.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?
The goal of the justice system should be less crime. Too many offenders cycle through the system only to reoffend, putting innocent people at risk. We must hold criminals accountable while focusing on meaningful rehabilitation for those who can be reformed, so communities are safer and repeat crime is reduced.
Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.
Strongly Agree
The Constitution, not religious law, governs the United States.
The government should use automated-enforcement cameras to track speeding and criminal activity.
Strongly Disagree
Public safety should be enforced by accountable officers, not automated surveillance of citizens.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
NONE! I do not believe ANY restrictions on lawful gun ownership are needed to protect public safety. The Second Amendment protects a fundamental right, and law-abiding citizens should not be punished for crimes they did not commit.
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
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe in God and place my faith in Him as the source of truth, moral order, and human dignity. I believe our rights come from God—not government—and that every person is endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Because life is sacred, I believe innocent human life must be protected. Because liberty is God-given, I believe freedom of speech, religious expression, and conscience must be defended. My faith teaches personal responsibility, stewardship, compassion, and justice under the law, and it guides my commitment to limited government and service to others.
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.
Disagree
Government shouldn’t promote vice to fund itself.
Government should recognize and support the fundamental right and essential duty of parents to direct their child's upbringing, including their religious, health, and educational well-being.
Agree
Attempts to transition or encourage a child to transition to the opposite sex constitutes child abuse.
Strongly Agree
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
No ID..... No Vote
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
I oppose reparations based on race. Government policies should treat individuals as individuals, not assign guilt or benefits based on skin color. The Constitution guarantees equal protection under the law, and race-based reparations violate that principle.
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
Women’s sports and single-sex spaces exist to ensure fair competition, privacy, and safety. Allowing biological males into these spaces undermines fairness in athletics, privacy and dignity for women and girls & safety.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Reliable baseload energy, like natural gas and nuclear, combined with market-driven innovation is the best way to meet growing demand.
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Strongly Disagree
As a Christian, I believe in responsible stewardship of God’s creation. As a constitutional liberty conservative, I reject fear-driven climate policies that expand government power and harm families. Environmental responsibility should be pursued through innovation, conservation, and free markets—not sweeping mandates, global control, or regulations that undermine liberty, economic stability, and national sovereignty.
