Agree

I believe human life has inherent dignity and deserves protection. At the same time, public policy should approach these deeply personal issues with compassion, respect for families, and thoughtful consideration of complex medical and personal circumstances.

Agree

Human life deserves dignity and respect at every stage. At the same time, many families rely on fertility treatments such as IVF to have children. Public policy should approach these issues thoughtfully, respecting both the value of life and the hopes of families seeking to build their families through responsible medical care.

Elective abortion raises deeply personal, medical, and ethical questions. I believe public policy should approach this issue with respect for human life, compassion for women and families, and careful consideration of medical circumstances. Decisions should involve patients, families, and healthcare professionals, while laws protect health, safety, and individual rights within a thoughtful legal framework.

Neutral

Public funding decisions should ensure that individuals have access to essential healthcare services while maintaining transparency and accountability in how taxpayer funds are used. Policies should focus on providing comprehensive healthcare access while respecting differing views on this issue.

Neutral

The legal interpretation and enforcement of the Comstock Act involve complex constitutional, medical, and regulatory questions. I believe policies related to healthcare and medication access should be guided by current law, medical safety standards, and careful legal review while respecting both federal authority and the rights of states and individuals.

Disagree

Religious freedom is a fundamental constitutional right that must be protected. At the same time, our laws should ensure fairness and equal treatment in commerce and public life. Policies should seek a balanced approach that respects sincerely held religious beliefs while also ensuring that individuals have access to services and opportunities without discrimination.

Separation of church and state means that government should not establish or control religion, while protecting every person’s freedom to practice their faith or choose no faith at all. Our Constitution protects both religious liberty and equal treatment under the law. Government should respect faith communities while ensuring that public policy serves all citizens.

The United States should lead responsibly in the world by supporting allies, defending democratic values, and promoting stability. However, military intervention should be carefully considered and used only when our national security interests are clear and diplomacy has been exhausted. Strong alliances and thoughtful leadership help maintain global peace and security.

Strongly Agree

National security today includes cyber threats, intellectual property theft, and economic competition that can undermine American innovation and infrastructure. The United States must strengthen cyber defenses, protect American technology and businesses, and work with allies to address emerging global threats while maintaining a strong national defense.

The United States’ relationship with Israel is important because Israel is one of our strongest democratic allies in the Middle East. Our partnership supports regional stability, intelligence cooperation, technological innovation, and shared democratic values. At the same time, the United States should continue working toward long-term peace and security for both Israelis and Palestinians.

Strongly Agree

Terrorism and violent extremism remain serious threats to global security and to the United States. We must continue working with allies, strengthening intelligence cooperation, and protecting our homeland from terrorist organizations while also building partnerships with peaceful communities around the world.

Healthcare must be affordable and accessible for every American. A system that allows a public option while preserving private healthcare choices can increase competition, lower costs, and protect patient choice. We should strengthen Medicare and Medicaid, improve transparency in pricing, and work to reduce the financial burden healthcare places on families.

Disagree

Healthcare research and policy decisions should rely on anonymized data that protects patient privacy. While understanding the cost and impact of disease is important for improving healthcare systems, individuals’ personal medical information must remain protected and secure.

Strongly Agree

Free enterprise and the protection of private property have long been foundations of economic opportunity in the United States. Policies should encourage entrepreneurship, support small businesses, and create an environment where individuals can work, innovate, and build financial security while ensuring fair rules that promote competition and economic growth.

Agree

Our tax system should be fair and sustainable while supporting economic growth and opportunity. Working families are facing rising costs for housing, healthcare, and everyday expenses. Policies should provide meaningful relief for those families while maintaining a balanced approach that encourages investment, job creation, and long-term economic stability.

Strongly Agree

The national debt poses long-term risks to economic stability and future generations. Government must exercise fiscal discipline by reviewing spending, eliminating waste, and prioritizing investments that strengthen the economy. Responsible budgeting helps ensure that essential services are protected while reducing the burden of debt on taxpayers and future generations.

Government must eliminate duplicative programs, reduce bureaucratic overhead, strengthen oversight of federal contracts, audit ineffective programs, and increase transparency in spending. Taxpayers deserve accountability and efficient government that prioritizes essential services while cutting waste.

The United States should welcome legal immigrants who follow our laws, contribute to our economy, and seek opportunity or refuge from persecution. Our immigration system should prioritize family unity, economic needs, and humanitarian protection while maintaining secure borders and an orderly legal process.

Disagree

Immigration laws should be enforced fairly and consistently across the country. While we must treat all people with dignity and respect, local and federal authorities should work together to ensure public safety and uphold the rule of law.

Disagree

Education decisions should primarily be made by states, communities, teachers, and parents. However, the federal government still plays an important role in supporting students, protecting civil rights, and providing resources for schools. The goal should be stronger local control while ensuring that every student has access to quality education.

Agree

American educational institutions should remain independent from foreign government influence. While international collaboration and students enrich our universities, funding from foreign governments should be carefully limited and transparent to protect academic integrity, national security, and intellectual property.

Strongly Agree

Protecting children from exploitation must be a top priority. Government should work with law enforcement, technology companies, and parents to prevent online abuse, prosecute offenders, and ensure that digital platforms provide safe environments for young people.

The Second Amendment protects the right of law-abiding citizens to own firearms. At the same time, reasonable safeguards such as background checks, safe storage, and enforcing existing laws can help keep guns out of the hands of criminals and those who pose a danger to others while respecting constitutional rights.

No

No, I have never been convicted of a felony.

Lean Conservative

I believe in faith, personal responsibility, strong families, economic opportunity, and serving our communities with compassion. My views are guided by common-sense principles that support responsible government, individual liberty, and helping neighbors in need. I seek practical solutions that bring people together and strengthen our country.

Neutral

Decisions involving children’s medical or social care should be handled carefully by families, medical professionals, and mental-health experts. Public policy should prioritize the well-being, safety, and dignity of every child while ensuring that medical decisions for minors follow responsible clinical standards and parental involvement.

Disagree

Marriage is understood differently across faith traditions and communities. Religious institutions should be free to define marriage according to their beliefs, while civil law must ensure equal protection and rights under the Constitution. Protecting both religious freedom and civil equality is essential in a diverse society.

My spiritual beliefs are rooted in the Christian faith and guided by the teachings of Jesus Christ to love our neighbors, serve the vulnerable, and act with humility and integrity. My faith calls me to serve others through compassion and practical action, including community service and helping those in need. At the same time, I believe deeply in religious freedom and respect the diverse beliefs of all Americans. In public service, my goal is to reflect values of service, honesty, personal responsibility, and care for our communities.

Disagree

Voting is one of our most important rights, and protecting the integrity of elections helps maintain public trust in our democracy. Reasonable identification requirements can help prevent fraud while ensuring elections are secure. At the same time, states should ensure that obtaining valid identification is simple, accessible, and free so that every eligible citizen can vote.

Neutral

This is a complex issue involving fairness in athletics, safety in certain spaces, and respect for the dignity of all people. Policies should be guided by science, fairness, and compassion while protecting opportunities for women and ensuring that everyone is treated with respect and dignity. Solutions should be thoughtful and balanced rather than driven by political division.

America needs a diverse and reliable energy strategy. Nuclear power, natural gas, and renewable energy such as solar and wind should work together to meet growing demand while improving grid reliability, energy independence, and environmental steward
