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?
I believe every human life has inherent value and should be protected from conception. Elective abortion should not be permitted because the role of government is to protect innocent life. We should focus on supporting mothers, strengthening families, expanding adoption opportunities, and building a culture that values both mother and child.
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?
It should be eliminated. It directly harms the lowest wage earners as it is inherently more inflationary that then wage increased.
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.
Eliminate Administration, especially in Education, HHS, and Department of Revenue
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
To me, “separation of church and state” means government should not establish a national religion or interfere with the free exercise of faith. The phrase itself is not in the Constitution. The First Amendment was intended to keep government from controlling religion—not to drive faith out of public life. Our rights come from God, not government, and people should be free to live and speak according to their convictions.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly 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, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. I believe healthcare works best when driven by patient choice, competition, and innovation rather than increasing government control. Existing safety-net programs should remain for those who depend on them, but expanding government-run healthcare risks higher costs, less choice, and more bureaucracy.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Strongly Disagree
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?
Yes. Israel is a key ally that shares important values with the United States and provides strategic benefits through security, intelligence, and regional stability. Strong alliances matter, but they should always serve the interests of the American people first.
IMMIGRATION
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Strongly Agree
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.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a Christian and believe our rights come from God, not government. My faith shapes my commitment to integrity, personal responsibility, family, service, and treating others with dignity and respect.
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.
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
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Strongly Disagree
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Nuclear power is the most reliable long-term solution for growing electricity demand because it provides consistent baseload power at scale. America should also maintain a diverse domestic energy strategy that strengthens energy independence.
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
I believe in individual liberty, limited constitutional government, personal responsibility, strong families, religious freedom, secure borders, and free markets that create opportunity. I believe our rights come from God, not government, and that public servants should defend those rights while promoting fiscal responsibility, national security, and equal justice under the law.
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 of the criminal justice system should be to protect innocent people, uphold the rule of law, deliver justice fairly, and preserve public safety. It should punish wrongdoing proportionately, deter future crime, provide restitution when possible, and offer opportunities for rehabilitation for those willing to change. Justice should protect society while recognizing the value and dignity of every person.
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?
Law-abiding citizens have a constitutional right to keep and bear arms for self-defense and protection against tyranny. Restrictions should focus on violent criminals and those legally determined to be a danger while respecting due process rights. Public safety is best served by targeting criminals and root causes of violence, not placing increasing burdens on responsible gun owners or maintaining laws that unnecessarily infringe on constitutional rights.
