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
I support this statement. I am pro-life and believe taxpayers should not be forced to financially support organizations that provide or promote abortion. public funds should instead be directed toward programs that support women, children, adoption, prenatal care, and families in need. i also believe government should respect the conscious and convictions of taxpayers who oppose abortion.
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
I do not believe elective abortion should be permitted. I believe every unborn has inherent value and deserves protection. I would support reasonable exceptions when the pregnancy poses a serious threat to the life of the mother, and i believe decisions in those circumstances should be made very carefully under appropriate medical guidance. I do not support abortion for reasons of convenience, sex selection or financial circumstances.
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Strongly Agree
I strongly believe that every human life has inherent dignity, and value from conception until natural death, and deserves legal protection.
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Strongly Agree
I believe human life begins at conception. Humans created through IVF and other assisted reproductive technologies are human lives and should not be destroyed.
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Agree
ECONOMY
What is your position on the minimum wage?
I support policies that help Pennslyvanians earn a good living while protecting the small businesses that create jobs in our communities . i do not want extra burdens on our small businesses.
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
Free enterprise, private property rights, and individual economic freedoms are essential to a strong and prosperous economy. Government should protect these rights, maintain fair playing field, and avoid unnecessary taxes and regulations that discourage investment, entrepreneurship, and job creation. Pennsylvania should be a place where families can build businesses, own property, work hard, and pass the fruits of their labor onto the next generation.
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
Performance reviews of state agencies and programs to identify waste, duplication, and ineffective spending. Eliminate unnecessary government programs and bureaucracy that duplicate services or no longer serve legitimate public purpose. Make Pennsylvania live within its means by treating tax payer dollars with the same discipline families and small businesses use with their own money before asking more, government should prove that existing dollars are being spent wisely
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
Government should not establish an official religion or force anyone to practice a particular faith. At the same time, it does not mean that people of faith must leave their beliefs at the door when participating in public life or serving in government. I believe the First Amendment both protects both religious liberty and the right to freely express and practice ones faith.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Individuals and business owners should not be forced by government to violate sincerely held religious or moral beliefs as a condition of participating in the marketplace. Religious liberty and freedom of conscience are fundamental American principles. i support laws that protect everyone from discrimination while also protecting individuals and businesses from government coercion that forces them to violate their held 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)
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Disagree
Government should not keep a database based on individuals with medical conditions .
NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
we must protect American infrastructure, technology, businesses, and national security while strengthening domestic manufacturing, energy independence, and critical supply chains. our policy should put American workers and American security first.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
yes. They are a key democratic ally and security partner in the middle East. our partnership strengthens intelligence sharing, counterterrorism efforts, regional stability, and Americas national security. I support Israels right to defend itself while believing American foreign policy should always protect U.S interest , promote peace, and avoid unnecessary conflict.
IMMIGRATION
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree
I believe immigration laws should be enforced consistently and the local government should cooperate with federal law enforcement rather than adopt policies that obstruct lawful immigration enforcement. We can treat every person with dignity and compassion while maintaining secure borders , respecting the rule of the law, and protecting our communities.
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
I believe education is best directed by parents, teachers and local school boards, and the states. Not Washington bureaucrats.
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Strongly Agree
American education should serve American students and communities without undue influence from foreign governments.
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
Parents have the primary responsibility and rights to guide their children's upbringing, education, and well-being. Government and school should respect the parental involvement , provide transparency , and work in partnership with families rather then replace their role. At the same time , appropriate protections should remain in place to safeguard children from abuse or neglect.
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.
Agree
Children deserve compassion, protection, and age-appropriate care. I oppose irreversible medical interventions intended to transition minors and believe parents must have central role in decisions affecting their children.
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
Mathew 19:4-6
I support the expansion of gambling in my state.
Disagree
While legal gambling provides revenue and supports jobs , government should be more cautious about becoming increasingly dependent on gambling revenue because of the financial and social harm problem gambling can cause families and communities.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
My beliefs and values are rooted in faith, family, freedom, hard work, and service to others, I believe in the sanctity of life , parental rights, individual liberty, personal responsibility, and the constitution. I believe government should be accountable to the people , protect our freedoms, support our first responders, and create opportunities for families and businesses to grow. I also believe we can stand firm for our principles while treating every person with dignity and respect. PUT GOD FIRST
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
Legal American citizens only, you must have proof.
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
I strongly oppose racism or discrimination, but I do not believe government should provide benefits or impose burdens based solely on a persons race.
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
Protect our women at all cost. not negotiable!
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Disagree
i believe we need to be responsible and good stewards of our environment. However, I do not support using climate change as a justification for rushed government mandates that eliminate good paying energy jobs, weakens our electric grid, or dramatically increases our cost for working families . We should pursue practical solutions that protect our air and water while maintaining reliable, affordable American energy and encouraging innovation.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
I believe Natural Gas and Nuclear power, while keeping coal in the conversation. Renewables can contribute but they should compliment, and not replace.
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
I consider myself a conservative who believes in limited and accountable government, individual liberty, strong families, public safety, American energy independence , fiscal responsibility, and protecting constitutional rights. At the same time, I believe good government requires listening to everyone , working across party lines, and putting the needs of our communities ahead of partisan politics.
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?
The goal or the system should be to protect the public, uphold the rule of the law , support victims, and ensure those who commit crimes are held accountable. Justice should be fair and consistent while providing second chances when appropriate. we must support law enforcement and first responders while ensuring every individual recieves due process and equal treatment under the law.
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Strongly Agree
Protecting children from sexual exploitation and abuse must be a fundamental responsibility of government, Law enforcement should have the resources and appropriate legal tools necessary to pursue predators, combat trafficking and exploitation, and hold offenders accountable while respecting constitutional protections.
Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.
Strongly Agree
The U.S Constitution and the laws enacted under it must remain the foundation of our legal system. No religious legal code whether Sharia Law or any other religious doctrine should supersede American law or constitutional rights. At the same time, every American must retain the constitutional right to freely practice his or her faith.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
I strongly support our 2nd Amendment and the right to bear arms. Restrictions should focus on individuals who pose a demonstrated threat to public safety, including violent felons and other prohibited from possessing firearms under the existing law, while protecting due process. We should aggressively enforce laws against violent criminals and illegal gun trafficking rather than placing burdens on responsible, law-abiding gun owners.
