Strongly Agree

Public dollars should support healthcare that protects life not subsidize abortion providers like Planned Parenthood through federal, state, or local funding streams, including Title X.

Elective abortions should not be allowed. The only exceptions should be in cases of rape, incest, or when the life of the mother is at risk.

Strongly Agree

Life begins at conception pretty easy answer here.

Agree

As technology advances, we have a responsibility to ensure that human embryos created through artificial methods are treated with dignity and protected from intentional destruction, while also supporting families navigating fertility treatments.

Agree

While states set their own abortion policies, existing federal laws like the Comstock Act should still be enforced when it comes to interstate distribution of abortion inducing drugs.

To me, separation of church and state means the government doesn’t get to control religion or force beliefs on anyone. But it also doesn’t mean faith has no place in public life. People should be free to live out their values, and that includes how they engage in their communities and government.

Strongly Disagree

I don’t believe the government should force individuals or businesses to violate their deeply held moral or religious beliefs. At the same time, we should treat people with respect and make sure services are accessible. There’s a way to protect both freedom and fairness without heavy handed mandates.

Strongly Agree

The Chinese Communist Party is a real threat not just militarily, but through cyberattacks, intellectual property theft, and economic pressure. We need to stand strong, protect American jobs and innovation, and make sure we’re not dependent on adversaries.

I support strong alliances like the one we have with Israel, but I also believe every relationship should ultimately serve American interests. We can stand with our allies while still making sure, we’re putting our own country first.

I would align more with option C. I support keeping Medicare and Medicaid in place for those who rely on them, but I don’t believe we should expand government further into healthcare. We need to protect the safety net while also preserving choice, encouraging competition, and making healthcare more affordable without growing bureaucracy.

Strongly Disagree

I don’t support the government maintaining a database of individuals medical conditions. While it’s important to understand healthcare costs, that can be done using anonymous, aggregated data. We should never sacrifice personal privacy or open the door to government overreach when it comes to sensitive medical information

I believe in a balanced approach to the minimum wage. We need to ensure people can earn a fair wage, but we also have to be mindful of the impact on small businesses and local economies. Any changes should be gradual, and data driven.

Strongly Agree

If you want a productive economy, you have to protect free enterprise and private property rights. That’s what allows small businesses to grow, workers to succeed, and communities like ours to thrive.

My priorities are simple. Increase transparency, eliminate wasteful programs, clean up outdated laws that no longer serve Iowans, hold economic incentives accountable, and streamline government. If it doesn’t make sense or doesn’t deliver results, it shouldn’t stay on the books or on the payroll.

Strongly Disagree

In Iowa, we value law, order, and accountability. Sanctuary city policies create confusion and undermine cooperation between local and federal law enforcement. That’s not the direction we should be going.

Strongly Agree

In Iowa, we know our students better than Washington does. I support returning education decisions to our state and local communities so we can focus on what actually works for Iowa families, teachers, and schools

Strongly Agree

Foreign governments should not be funding American education. Our schools and universities should answer to American communities not foreign influence. We need to protect our classrooms, our research, and our students from outside interference.

The criminal justice system should focus on three things: protecting communities, delivering fair and consistent justice, and reducing repeat offenses. That means holding people accountable for their actions while also supporting rehabilitation where it makes sense so individuals can become productive members of society again.

Strongly Agree

Protecting children from online exploitation should be a top priority. That means enforcing existing laws, strengthening penalties for offenders, and holding platforms accountable for preventing abuse and reporting illegal activity.

Strongly Agree

I believe U.S. law should be based on the Constitution and applied equally to everyone. We should not incorporate any foreign legal systems into our framework. At the same time, people from all backgrounds are welcome here but coming to America means respecting our laws and the values that hold our country together.

I believe the focus should be on public safety without punishing responsible gun owners. We need strict enforcement against violent criminals, straw purchasers, and those who use firearms in the commission of crimes. The answer is not broad restrictions on constitutional rights, but making sure the laws we already have are applied effectively.

Conservative

I would describe myself as a conservative who believes in limited government, personal responsibility, and strong communities. I’m focused on protecting individual freedoms, supporting working families, and making sure government works for the people not the other way around.

No

No

Strongly Agree

I believe parents have a fundamental right and responsibility to direct their child’s health and education. Government should support that role, not replace it. Parents know their children best, and they should have a real voice in the decisions that affect their future.

Agree

I believe decisions about gender identity especially medical interventions should not be made for children without careful consideration, parental involvement, and appropriate safeguards. These are serious, life altering decisions that should be handled with caution, and we should prioritize the well being and long term health of children above all else.

Agree

I believe marriage is a sacred institution rooted in faith and tradition as a union between one man and one woman. At the same time, I recognize that in our country, government has created a legal framework around marriage. My focus is on protecting religious freedom so individuals and institutions are not forced to act against their beliefs.

Neutral

I support responsible expansion of gambling in Iowa, as long as it’s done in a way that benefits our communities, creates jobs, and generates revenue for essential services. At the same time, we need to ensure strong safeguards are in place to address addiction and protect vulnerable individuals.

“My faith became real to me after a life changing moment in 2023 when I suffered a stroke. It forced me to slow down, reflect, and recognize what truly matters. Since then, I’ve made a commitment to live my life in the image and spirit of God guided by faith, service, and a responsibility to others. That experience shaped who I am today and how I lead.

Strongly Disagree

Photo ID is needed.

Strongly Disagree

I don’t believe government should distribute benefits or payments based on race. Our focus should be on expanding opportunity, strengthening education, and supporting working families across the board.

Strongly Agree

We can respect individuals while also recognizing that biological differences matter especially when it comes to fairness in sports and privacy in certain spaces.

Neutral

I believe we should be good stewards of our environment, but I don’t support alarmist policies that hurt working families and small businesses. We need practical, balanced solutions like innovation, energy efficiency, and responsible resource management without sacrificing our economy or energy independence.

Nuclear and natural gas are the most reliable energy sources to meet growing demand. Renewables have a role, but they can’t do it alone.
