QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
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
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
My conviction is that there are no exceptions when it comes to the taking of an innocent child’s life. Bringing a child into this world is a profound responsibility that should be prayerfully considered within marriage. The risks and responsibilities of parenthood should be thoughtfully discussed before conception. At the same time, we must respond with compassion by ensuring families facing this life-changing circumstance have access to the support, resources, and care needed to choose life
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Disagree
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Strongly Agree
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
People who can afford to pay more taxes should do so in order to provide relief for working families.
Disagree
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
Eliminating taxpayer benefits to illegal aliens, reforming entitlement systems in America, and advocating for reducing the amount of taxpayer dollars supplementing diplomatic relationships.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
The phrase “separation of church and state” is not found in the Constitution, but emerged from early Baptist advocacy to prevent a government-controlled church and to protect religious liberty. Its purpose was to ensure that individuals could freely practice their faith without interference from the state. Rather than limiting religion, it was intended to safeguard the open expression of faith in public life and to prevent government overreach into matters of conscience and belief.
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.
I believe our healthcare system needs meaningful reform that prioritizes prevention and rewards healthy living. We should move away from broad, one-size-fits-all, taxpayer-funded approaches toward a more targeted, patient-centered model. By emphasizing early screening and personalized care, we can better identify individual needs and improve outcomes. This approach reduces waste and ensures resources are directed where they are needed, rather than funding treatments that often fail to produce.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Neutral
NATIONAL SECURITY
With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened. B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger. D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.
C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger.
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?
All of our allies play a vital role in advancing America’s global leadership and strategic interests. Each partnership should be treated with the same level of respect and commitment our allies extend to us. Strong alliances depend on mutual trust, shared responsibility, and consistent engagement. By maintaining balanced, reciprocal relationships, we strengthen our position on the world stage and ensure our alliances remain effective, reliable, and beneficial to all involved.
Islamic terrorism is a threat to the United States' national security.
Strongly Agree
IMMIGRATION
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
America stands at a crossroads where we must ensure generational Americans and their families are protected culturally and economically. We must strengthen national security by ensuring critical sectors like defense and strategic technology are developed here at home. I support a merit-based immigration system prioritizing individuals with expertise in innovation, technology, and essential industries, strengthening our nation while preserving our values and securing long-term success.
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
VALUES
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
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe that scripture is the ultimate guide to one's life, and as it influenced our founding fathers, we should apply that same wisdom to guide our decisions as a people. At the same time, faith should never be imposed by force, but freely shared through opportunity and example. Every American should have the freedom to encounter the Christian Gospel openly, while preserving the liberty of conscience that allows individuals to believe and practice according to their convictions.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
EQUALITY
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
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Oil and Gas.
ABOUT YOU
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.
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
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Strongly Agree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
The reality is that increasing restrictions alone do not stop those intent on doing harm. Rather than focusing solely on limitations, we should ensure that penalties for criminal actions are strong, certain, and consistently enforced. A system that delivers clear consequences without compromise can better deter wrongdoing, uphold justice, and protect our communities while respecting the rights of law-abiding citizens.
