QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

Strongly Agree

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Life of the Mother, Rape and Incest, Fatal Fetal Defects.

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

If they are human embryos they deserve protection.

The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.

Neutral

The Comstock Act of 1873 did not anticipate the realities happening in 2026 and needs to be updated and detailed regarding whether abortion-inducing drugs falls within this scope.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

There should be some separation but the liberals have taken it way, way too far. Bring prayer back to school. Our founding fathers were 99% Christian and this is not what they meant by separation of church and state!

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Strongly Disagree

You should not be forced to provide services that is against your moral or religious beliefs.


NATIONAL SECURITY

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?

I do believe Israel is one of our strongest and most important allies. It is the one country in the middle east that is free and presents values similar to the US.


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.

Healthcare is not at right, I believe in private healthcare paid by employers and employees. The government should only provide a healthcare safety net. C would be my choice.

The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.

Strongly Disagree

A persons medical conditions are considered private along with the confidentiality clause between Doctor and patient. The government should not be allowed to make a loophole to get by HIPAA for their research purposes that are not open to the public view.


ECONOMY

What is your position on the minimum wage?

I think we do need some kind of living wage but Santa Fe has pushed it to far. You have to account for the economic effect on businesses. You also have to realize many of the people working on minimum wage are working part-time while in HS or college

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

Strongly Agree

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

Spending state funds on "woke" agendas. Reducing regulations that costs companies so much money they decide to do business elsewhere. Giving our citizens a help up versus ten programs that they just live on for the rest of their lives.


IMMIGRATION

I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.

Strongly Disagree

I could not disagree more. The United States of America has a process in place to become documented an or a Citizen. ALL should follow it.


EDUCATION

I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.

Agree

Each state should have control of the education of it's residents. I am not positive on whether the Department should be eliminated completely.

Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.

Strongly Agree


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?

Make our state safer by ending catch and release! Get people off the streets that are a threat to our society. Deport illegal immigrants immediately when they break our laws and not allowing re-entry.

Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.

Neutral

I somewhat agree. There is a role for government but there is a huge role for the parents. Parents need to be responsible for raising their children into productive members of society and monitoring their use of social media platforms.

Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.

Strongly Agree

Sharia law comes down to death for anyone who does not believe like them. We can not condone that or support it in any way.


2ND AMENDMENT

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

I believe in the right to bare arms. I have like ten guns and I use them for hunting and home protection. I believe you should have to have a background check to purchase one at a store or gun show.


ABOUT YOU

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

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!


VALUES

Government should recognize and support the fundamental right and essential duty of parents to direct their child's health and educational well-being.

Strongly Agree

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

I support the expansion of gambling in my state.

Disagree

I think we have plenty of options for gambling, no need to expand it further.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a God believing God fearing Christian. I believe the ten commandments to be the cornerstone of your life.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

I do think the Care Act would be a positive step.


EQUALITY

Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.

Strongly Disagree

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

Biological males have a genetic advantage over biological female that make it totally unfair for them to compete against each other. They should not be allowed to compete with biological females in any of the situations listed!


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.

Disagree

I agree there is and has always been climate change. How much man has to do with it or how much we can change it is not clear at all.

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

Natural Gas
