OTHER INFORMATION

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?

All human life has dignity and value. Countless physicians testify there is never a need to kill the child before the mother labors and delivers him/her. Allowing nature to take its course in an early delivery is not abortion. Death by natural casues will not lessen the grief of the mother, but it will remove the guilt and misery that an abortion decision brings upon her. Further, neighbors conceived in rape and incest walk among us...they matter...no exceptions for me.

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

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

Strongly Agree


ECONOMY

What is your position on the minimum wage?

Because "one size" rarely fits all, I prefer a locally determined living wage, rather than a federally mandated minimum wage.

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.

1. Allow the private sector to do what it does best: provide services in a competive free market. 2. Eradicate fraudulent activity and cronyism 4. Eliminate or at the very least, consolidate overlapping programs


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

The United States Government cannot establish an official religion nor can it interfere with an idividual's right to practice the religion of their choosing.

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

Disagree


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.) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available.

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

Strongly Disagree

While I think it is prudent to track illnesses and health trends occuring across our nation, a government held data base with names and specifics would be a complete violation of privacy.


NATIONAL SECURITY

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.

Strongly Agree

To be sure, any nation or political system that is contrary to or incompatible with our Republic's Constitution poses a threat to the United States.

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

Yes. Israel has long been an importatnt ally...tried and true and of biblical importance.


IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Disagree

I am pro legal immigration. A safe harbor that hides known criminals or individuals who have not been properly vetted is a danger to the people. Government must first and foremost protect her people. No one should have immunity from just laws.


EDUCATION

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

Strongly Agree

Local control would better serve students by fine tuning every effort to meet the defined needs within that community.

Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.

Agree

While I strongly agree that foreign influence over curriculum may hinder or compromise our freedoms and values, I understand there may be benefits in the areas of research and global collabortion. Risk mitigation is of the utmost importance.


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

Unless proven incompetent, I will always favor the rights of parents.

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

While charitable gaming provides funding for many of the activities and organizations we cherish, gambling in and of itself does not have postive affects on family life and I would not approve of unnecessary expansion.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a follower of Jesus Christ. Morally, I possess a biblical worldview. Politically, I am socially and fiscally conservative.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree


EQUALITY

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

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


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

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

Disagree

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

I phoned a friend for this one...they said nuclear energy is the most reliable while needing little maintenance. Natural gas and coal would follow. I have much to learn in this area.


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?

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


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?

1. Safety for the public. Implementing just laws that deter...taking swift action when they don't. 2. Rehabilitation whenever possible. May common sense prevail.

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

Strongly Agree

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

Strongly Agree


2ND AMENDMENT

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

Strict adherence to background checks, proper licensing, and mental health considerations for anyone wanting to purchase a firearm. Proper restrictions for prior red flags like domestic abuse and past violence. Secure storage practices with adults held responsible for the actions of their children.
