Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.

The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.

Rape or to protect the life of the mother

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

ECONOMY

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

We should balance the budget each year. We shouldn't spend more than we take in.

List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.

Adhere to strict cost/benefit analyses when spending tax dollars. Eliminate overpaid government bureaucrats at the top layers of government. Prioritize spending based on an America-First agenda. Our health and welfare comes before foreign interests. Laser-focused on identifying and eliminating fraudulent spending. DOGE was a good start but Congress is ultimately responsible for eliminating government waste.


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?

We must follow our US Constitution and State Constitutions regardless of religious beliefs.


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. However, we need to develop affordable insurance options for those not eligible for Medicaid and Medicare. We need to work to reform health insurance immediately.

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.

Strongly Agree

Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?

Yes. Because they're a strong ally.

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?

Immigrants who have something to offer to our country. They must follow strict immigration rules and be fully vetted before granting citizenship. We only want people who want to be a proud American and be a productive member of society.

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


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?

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.

Agree

Parents have a greater responsibility than government!


2ND AMENDMENT

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

I do not support any restrictions on gun ownership for law abiding citizens. Convicted felons are already prohibited from owning firearms and mentally ill people are subject to restrictions. Red flag laws are in place to remove firearms from individuals deemed at risk. Cases involving gun ownership or possession by mentally ill people should be closely scrutinized.
