QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Neutral
I hold a deep respect for life; however, a 'neutral' response is necessary because this statement does not account for complex medical or personal circumstances. Legal protection must be balanced with considerations for the life and health of the mother. I believe in a compassionate policy that seeks to protect life while acknowledging that absolute legal bans can create unintended medical crises.
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Neutral
I have selected Neutral because I have significant ethical reservations regarding the artificial creation of human life. My primary support is for natural birth and the traditional family process. While I value life, the move toward lab-created embryos is a questionable departure from the natural order, and I believe our focus should remain on supporting natural conception rather than creating complex legal frameworks for artificial methods.
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Abortion should never be used as a routine form of birth control; however, common sense dictates that we consider the life circumstances of those involved. For instance, a 16-year-old may not be emotionally or physically prepared for the lifelong responsibility of a child. I believe elective abortion should be an option in cases where the mother’s age or extreme life circumstances make successful parenthood or a healthy pregnancy unfeasible.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Neutral
I have selected Neutral because taxpayer funding for these providers is a complex issue that depends on the specific services being rendered. While I do not believe public funds should subsidize abortion as a routine form of birth control, these organizations often provide essential healthcare and support for women in difficult life circumstances. My support for funding would depend on strict oversight to ensure it is used for necessary health services rather than encouraging elective procedures
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Neutral
I am neutral on this because while I am concerned that mail-order access could lead to abortion being used too casually as birth control, I also recognize that for many—especially those in unique or difficult circumstances—this is a necessary medical resource. Any enforcement should focus on medical safety and professional oversight rather than a blanket ban that removes a woman's ability to choose in a crisis.
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
I strongly agree that free enterprise is essential, but it only works when the playing field is level. I am a staunch supporter of unions and the right to collective bargaining, as they are a necessary balance against corporate monopolies and poor working conditions. A productive economy requires both the freedom to innovate and the guarantee that workers receive fair pay and respect for their labor.
People who can afford to pay more taxes should do so in order to provide relief for working families.
Neutral
I have selected Neutral because while I support a social safety net for working families and those in genuine need, I am firmly against a system that can be exploited. Tax relief and social programs must be paired with strict oversight and work requirements for those able to work. I support capitalism and the rewards of hard work; assistance should be a temporary hand-up for the responsible, not a permanent handout for those who choose not to contribute.
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
I strongly agree, but we must go beyond simple cuts to a full Economic Reset. I propose the New American Dollar (NAD): a 100-to-1 reverse currency split backed by a hard-asset peg (gold and audited federal assets). This 'Proof Economy' ends the inflationary cycles that steal wealth from working families and forces the government to operate with the same fiscal discipline as the citizens it serves.
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
New American Dollar (NAD) Transition: A 100-to-1 reverse split to end inflationary fiat spending. Debt Jubilee Execution: Erasing unsecured debt and recalibrating mortgages to 0% interest via Wright v. Vinton Branch. Retirement Shield: Mandatory NAD conversion for Social Security/401(k)s to stop purchasing power loss. Dual-Track Economy: Using Contribution Credits for social services to replace inefficient bureaucracy. Hard-Asset Audit: A full audit of federal assets to peg the NAD to gold.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Neutral
Personal belief cannot override democratically enacted laws or the equal rights of others. A functioning democracy requires shared rules, civic responsibility, and limits on actions that harm the community. Bias and discrimination have no place in public life. While freedom of expression matters, it does not protect hate or allow citizens to ignore lawful obligations.
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
It means the government cannot impose religion, favor one faith over another, or interfere with personal belief. It protects both freedom of worship and freedom from state-mandated religion. People of every faith — and none — should participate fully in civic life without government pressure or exclusion.
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) Maryland’s model shows that public and private healthcare can work together under clear rules. I support a system where all residents have access to affordable care, and where any provider — including outsourced partners — must meet the same standards. A regulated, mixed model protects patients, controls costs, and keeps the system fair and accountable.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Neutral
Any system can be used for good or bad, which is why I support a regulated, democratic approach. Even if government administers parts of healthcare, access to personal data must be limited and accountable. Oversight protects citizens from bad actors in both public and private sectors. The strength of our system comes from democracy and the choices people make together.
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.
A) I support intervening with allies wherever oppression and human-rights abuses occur. As a beacon of liberty, the U.S. must maintain a strong military—peace through strength—so we can stand with the vulnerable in places like the Congo, Ukraine, Palestine, and elsewhere. Our power should be used to defend human dignity and support global stability.
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
China presents serious military, cyber, and economic challenges. Peace through strength means maintaining a capable defense while pursuing diplomatic solutions. On issues like Taiwan, any peaceful reunification must protect Taiwan’s self-governance and require major security steps, including military de-escalation. We must stand for stability, democracy, and human dignity.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
The U.S.–Israel relationship matters, but our support must align with human rights and international law. I support the creation and protection of a Palestinian state, and believe the West has a responsibility to promote justice and repair past harm. If any partner continues on a path of severe abuses, we must reevaluate our support and work toward dignity and security for all peoples.
Islamic terrorism is a threat to the United States' national security.
Strongly Agree
Terrorism must be confronted, but it is often rooted in oppression, instability, and the social-economic harm created by decades of global power imbalances. People are not born extremists; conditions create them. To truly reduce terrorism, we must defend against violent groups while also helping repair the injustices and hardships that give rise to radicalization.
IMMIGRATION
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Immigration should be fair, humane, and rooted in human dignity. People fleeing war, oppression, or economic devastation deserve a path to safety, and those seeking opportunity should have a clear, efficient legal process. As world citizens, we must balance secure borders with compassion and help repair the global conditions that force people to migrate.
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree
Sanctuary cities reflect civic division. In a functional republic governed by clear, humane laws, there should be no need for cities to shield people from federal policy. We must build an immigration system that protects human dignity, applies consistently across the nation, and removes the conditions that make sanctuary necessary in the first place.
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Disagree
I oppose, "private," K–12 education, and it receiving public funds. It creates civic and economic segregation and undermines equal opportunity. The Department of Education is essential to maintaining national standards and ensuring every child has access to a strong public education. If private schools exist, they should operate without taxpayer support.
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Neutral
Foreign governments should only fund American education if they share our democratic values and operate with full transparency. Partnerships with aligned nations can support research and cultural exchange, but funding from governments that undermine human rights or seek influence over our institutions should be prohibited to protect academic integrity.
VALUES
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.
Disagree
Children deserve protection, compassion, and evidence-based care. Decisions about gender-related support should be made by families and medical professionals, not through blanket political labels. We must safeguard children from harm while respecting their dignity and ensuring that any care is thoughtful, responsible, and grounded in the best interests of the child.
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 Disagree
Marriage is a legal agreement, not a religious institution. People may hold their own spiritual views, but civil law must remain pluralistic and protect equal rights. Love and commitment do not require government approval, and no single religious definition should determine the legal rights of all citizens.”
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe all people share equal dignity and that we are citizens of one human family. My values center on compassion, justice, responsibility, and repairing harm where we can. I see love, commitment, and community as human truths that transcend institutions, and I view public service as a moral duty to protect the vulnerable and strengthen our civic bonds.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Disagree
Voting is a core civic duty, and citizens should meet basic qualifications to participate. A secure voter ID helps confirm identity and eligibility, ensuring responsible and informed participation. Every citizen has the right to vote, but the system must verify capacity and qualification to protect the integrity of our republic.
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
Women’s sports and women’s spaces exist to ensure safety, privacy, and fairness. In sensitive environments such as shelters, prisons, and locker rooms, biological sex is a relevant and necessary boundary. Protecting women in these contexts is a matter of responsibility and safety, not hostility toward anyone.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Fusion energy is the most reliable long-term solution for rising demand. It offers clean, high-density, non-intermittent power with abundant fuel and no meltdown risk. Investing in fusion is essential for a stable, resilient energy future.
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?
Moderate
My views are grounded in civic responsibility, human dignity, and long-term stability rather than ideology. I support policies that strengthen our republic, protect vulnerable people, and build functional systems for the future. I don’t fit neatly into partisan labels.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Strongly Agree
Government has a clear responsibility to protect children from online sexual exploitation. Children are uniquely vulnerable, and safeguarding them is a fundamental duty of any functional society. Effective oversight, enforcement, and education are essential to ensure their safety in digital spaces.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
The root cause of gun violence is not the firearm but the breakdown of family, community, and early childhood stability. Guns do not act on their own; people do. The most effective way to protect public safety is to strengthen families, address trauma, and ensure children grow up in healthy environments. Cultivating strong homes reduces violence far more than restricting responsible gun owners.
