That is for the people to decide, I merely represent the people. Even though I personally value life, I am a servant leader in Congress. That means I represent the people that elect me.

Agree

Non-profits, in general, should not be allowed to partner with government as it attempts to sway voters to gain political favor. We have also been witness to Non-profits committing fraud, misleading government, and making millions in the process.

Strongly Agree

Free enterprise and private property is an extension of the unalienable Right to pursue happiness, but it also acts as an insulator of the people from government failure because the people are effectively able to function as communities and societies apart from government decisions and/or failures. If government controls all of the means of society, when government fails, communities are utterly decimated.

Strongly Disagree

Affordability is a huge issue today. In CA18, since 2014 the cost of water has increased by 90%, electricity by 112%, Housing by 140%, gas by 50%, and Medical 184%. Meanwhile GDP has increased 78% and wages have increased by 74%. Water, electricity, housing, gas, and Medical are each heavily government-regulated sectors suggesting that the affordability crisis in California is a result of State regulations where middle and low-income families have 40 to 50% less money in 2026 than 2014.

Strongly Agree

The government should not only reduce spending, but also reduce regulations, lower taxes, offer MAHA tax deductions, allow W-2 earners to deduct 100% of costs associated with Heath expenses from taxable income. Concentrate on on-shoring activities. Strive for 4% GDP growth year-over-year and reduce deficit spending by 1-2% per year.

1. Integrate AI Tools for oversight of spending. 2. Provide better guardrails on federal funds given to the states- set conditions. 3. Streamline funding to ensure no duplicate payments. 4. Require reforms occur before payments are resumed or at least phased in over time. 5. Regular reviews.

Strongly Disagree

When the Bill of Rights was first introduced to Congress on June 8, 1789, Madison prefaced them with these words, "...nor shall the full and equal rights of conscience be in any manner, or on any pretext infringed". Expediency is never a suitable substitute for the essential.

Again, Madison stated, "Fourthly. That in article 1st, section 9, between clauses 3 and 4, be inserted these clauses, to wit, The civil rights of none shall be abridged on account of religious belief or worship, nor shall any national religion be established...". A national religion violates the purpose of government. It also means that the individual civil rights cannot be regulated by a specific religious practice or worship by government, but does not exclude being guided by it in office.

None of the above. Healthcare options need to be integrated into our current system in such a way that allows government to be sufficiently limited, but still meet its obligations. Healthcare, for those that can afford it, should be 100% tax deductible for W2 wage earners as it is integral to our unalienable Rights to support liberty. This creates a wall of separation between government and the people and ensures taxation cannot be used as a tool of control.

Strongly Disagree

A database is unnecessary. Individuals can apply as needed for financial help and government can review medical records at that time and discard them once the service is provided.

Where there is a significant US interest, the US should defend this interest. Since there are any number of instances where this might occur, picking a single stance is counter-productive.

Strongly Agree

Israel is a long-time ally with the united States. The Middle East is home to a number of failed states, and so Israel provides the region with a number of advantages.

Strongly Agree

Any terrorism is a threat to the national security of the United States. However, the real problem with terrorism is that there is no fixed definition. In fact, there are hundreds of definitions, which means it's just a bunch of opinions leaving the definition to be defined by the Presidential administration. Therefore, even the term Islamic terrorism can be redefined from administration to administration. So the most important part of terrorism is to define it- terrorism is a threat.

Any person properly vetted and willing to follow immigration law should have the opportunity to take part in our society.

Strongly Disagree

Illegal immigration is the reinstitution of an under, or slave, class as these people are tolerated and then discarded. Sanctuary states defend the practice because of Census dollars. California gets $175B from the Census and is rewarded through failed policies. These dollars are increased for states based on raw population (including illegal aliens), the amount of people below the poverty line, and population density- each one is affected by IAs, and citizens cannot compete for gov. attn.

Agree

Although I do believe the federal government should be involved in three areas: 1. Establish strong civics in our schools from grade 2 - 12. We need a well-educated citizenry to hold government accountable and run for office. 2. Financial literacy and independence- the people need to understand how to leverage their wages and salaries to multiply it- we need people that have the money- to run for office. 3. Business-gov collab- technology is changing so fast that young adults need career tools.

Strongly Agree

We have ample example that many sources of money competes for the attention of the people's representatives. We do not need foreign countries influencing our schools in ways that do not reflect our way of life.

Strongly Agree

That's why I plan to strengthen families when in office to ensure that states cannot come between parents and their children ever again. Parents have the responsibility to raise their children- not government. I will ensure that policy is crafted to ensure states play a support role to strengthen families and not tear them down.

Strongly Agree

I think there is a concerted effort to cause division between factions to try and make political parties more relevant than they actually are.

I'm a Christian. I believe there is a God and that God is Jesus Christ. He died for my sins and, he is my Lord and Savior.

Neutral

This is the wrong question. The proper question is why does government refuse to abide by the wishes of over 70% of the people? When the government wants to hold the people accountable, representatives can craft a 1000+ page document overnight, but when it comes to the people wanting added safeguards for our elections, it's simply "too difficult" even though the entire country was shutdown for months during COVID.

Strongly Agree

Agreed. Nothing else needs to be said.

Nuclear (biggest bang for the buck), clean oil solutions, Hydrogen (truly zero emissions), Hydro-electric power (natural gas byproduct and renewable).

No

No

Conservative

Strongly Agree

However, I believe that companies should be required to develop tools for parents to make it easier for parents, instead of government, to protect their children from sexual exploitation and make it easy for parents to report it.
