QUESTIONNAIRE*
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Disagree
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Disagree
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Before viability. It should be left to the pregnant woman, her partner, immediate family, and her doctors who understand the emotional, psychological and physical risks.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Neutral
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Disagree
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

People who can afford to pay more taxes should do so in order to provide relief for working families.

Strongly Agree
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
Cut foreign aid Cut corporate incentives
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Agree
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
Government cannot regulate religious practices, and religious doctrines or religious bodies cannot be part of government.
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.
B) My proposal is basic health care for all. Basic healthcare includes primary care including diabetes and blood pressure. Prescription drugs for the basic illnesses shall be made available to all at the Medicare negotiated prices. Basic healthcare and prescription drugs will remain available through the community healthcare clinics.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Strongly Disagree
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 Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Agree
All nations want to progress and will use all means to achieve a position of advantage. I want to flag out China only on its extremely poor record of protecting intellectual property.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
It is important as relations with any other nation
Islamic terrorism is a threat to the United States' national security.
Agree
Given the current situation in the Middle East there is a greater chance of Islamic terrorism in the US
IMMIGRATION
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Professionals, immediate family members, and refugees.
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree
We are a nation governed by a just rule of law. I support strict enforcement of law. There has to be distinction between enforcing it on civilians vs criminals.
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Disagree
For our nation to succeed we must invest in our national education and vocational training programs
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.

VALUES
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.
Disagree
We don’t live in a binary world. The universe itself is not a binary place.
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I’m a Hindu. I believe our conscience is above all doctrines. That is our true connection with the creator/universe. There are a handful of enlightened ones, such as Jesus of Nazareth, Buddha, Shri Krishna who have shown us the path to reach our own final destination. I believe whatever good we do, we must do it for all - regardless of their beliefs or physical characteristics.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Disagree
Drivers license should work
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.
Neutral
I believe women's sports should be reserved for gender medically identified as female, regardless of biological or transition status. For intimate spaces like locker rooms, shelters, and prisons it needs to be determined based on the best way to ensure security and safety of all women. I support options like single-occupancy facilities where practical.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Solar, other renewable energy, and smaller modular reactors , battery storage

2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
I support the second amendment. I don’t believe any new regulations will solve the issue of gun violence. I also don’t want any of the existing regulations rolled back. I believe way forward is requiring a comprehensive education around this issue in high schools so our youth learn what it takes to exercise the right with responsibility.
