OTHER INFORMATION

Jack Hibbs' 2026 Primary Election recommendations as a private citizen. 

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 am pro-life from the womb to the tomb. I believe every life is a precious gift from God and deserves dignity, compassion, and respect. Being pro-life means protecting the unborn, supporting mothers and families, caring for the vulnerable and elderly, and valuing every life until its natural end.

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Only if the mother's life is in danger.

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.

Neutral

The Comstock Act is a federal law, and questions about its interpretation and enforcement belong at the federal level and ultimately with the courts. I will always be honest about my personal values , but I also believe an elected official needs to understand the responsibilities—and and the limits of the office they are seeking.


ECONOMY

What is your position on the minimum wage?

I believe California’s minimum wage has become too high, especially for small businesses that are already struggling with some of the highest costs in the country. I want people to earn good wages and have the opportunity to succeed.

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)Who got the money, where did it go, and did taxpayers get what they were promised? 2)Stop funding failure. When projects repeatedly run over budget, miss deadlines, or fail to deliver, stop automatically putting more money into them. High-Speed Rail is the example I would point to. 3)Audit for fraud and abuse.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

As a Christian who believes deeply in individual liberty, separation of church and state means the government should never tell me how to worship, what to believe, or prevent me from living out my faith. That is one of the great freedoms of America. Government should protect our freedom to believe, not dictate what we believe.

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.

B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options.

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?

I strongly support America’s relationship with Israel. Israel is one of our most important allies in a dangerous part of the world, and I believe America should stand with Israel and support its right to defend itself and its people. My support is also personal and spiritual. As a Christian, I believe in the biblical teaching that God blesses those who bless Israel. That belief is part of my faith and guides me personally.


IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Disagree

It is destroying our nation


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.

My Christian faith is the foundation of my values. I believe every life is a gift from God, that we are called to treat others with dignity and compassion, and that honesty and integrity matter. I believe in personal responsibility, helping those in need, protecting individual liberty, and being a good steward of what God has entrusted to us.


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.

Disagree

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

Nuclear Power – Reliable 24/7, efficient, and produces electricity without direct carbon emissions. Natural Gas – Abundant in the U.S., dependable, and able to provide power when demand increases. Hydroelectric Power, Oil and Coal


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?

The first goal of our criminal justice system should be to protect law-abiding citizens and keep our communities safe. You break the law, you pay the price, period.

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

Agree

Parents must be the first line of protection.

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

Strongly Agree

EVER


2ND AMENDMENT

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

I am a strong supporter of the 2nd Amendment.
