OTHER INFORMATION
Candidate Interview: Steffan Demetropoulos for Congress District 10. Oakland County Times (Crystal A. Proxmire, May 27, 2026)
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
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
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Abortion should be very limited because I believe life begins at conception and has inherent value. While there may be rare and serious circumstances where it is considered, it is not something I support or view as acceptable in general. Most abortions do not fall into those categories, and policy should reflect the importance of protecting life.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Disagree
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Strongly Agree
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
People who can afford to pay more taxes should do so in order to provide relief for working families.
Neutral
This is not something that should be government regulated. Tax rates should be fixed and people who can afford more should give more but this should happen at their own free will and to organizations they feel strongly about. Giving is important when you have abundance but it must be met with a willingness to give. Government taking is never the right answer for any group of people.
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
Cut costs directly from overseas funding. Sending tax payer dollars to other countries makes working class Americans poorer for countries that are not our responsibility. There are plenty of charity organizations that help these places. People who want to help should look into those and give with their hearts. Forced giving through the government is not charitable and often leads to corruption in our institutions.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
It means the federal government does not dictate the will of God. The monarchy of Britain would often appoint clergy in the church based on loyalty to Britain rather than loyalty to God.
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.
I believe government should play a limited role, but our current healthcare system is too complex, expensive, and hard for people to navigate. A public option should be available for those who want it, while preserving private choices. The focus should be on transparency, lowering costs, and making the system easier for people to understand and use.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Disagree
The government should not be tracking its citizens.
NATIONAL SECURITY
With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened. B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger. D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.
C. The United States has become too involved in foreign conflicts that do not directly affect our security or sovereignty. Our focus should be on protecting our own nation, strengthening our economy, and avoiding unnecessary intervention, while still maintaining the ability to act when our national interests are truly at risk.
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Agree
The Chinese Communist Party presents a range of challenges to the United States in areas like cybersecurity, trade, and military competition. These issues should be addressed carefully with a balanced approach that prioritizes long-term stability and U.S. security.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
The U.S.–Israel relationship has potential strategic value, but it should not be viewed as unconditional. Like any international partnership, it needs to be evaluated based on whether it continues to serve American interests. The United States should support allies when it’s mutually beneficial, while remaining clear-eyed about costs, risks, and the need for accountability. This relationship should never come at the cost of life, liberty or pursuit of happiness to the American people.
Islamic terrorism is a threat to the United States' national security.
Agree
IMMIGRATION
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Immigration should be paused and refocused until we regain full control of the system. The United States should prioritize securing its borders and enforcing existing laws first, then allow legal immigration in a way that is orderly, transparent, and aligned with the country’s long-term stability and interests.
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.
Agree
I support shifting more control to states and local communities, as they are better positioned to understand their students’ needs. However, any transition should be handled carefully to ensure consistency and protect essential standards.
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Strongly Agree
VALUES
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.
Agree
I believe marriage is a sacred institution that predates government and is rooted in faith and tradition. While government may regulate legal aspects of marriage, it should respect the original definition and protect the rights of religious institutions to uphold their beliefs.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
My spiritual beliefs are rooted in the understanding that our rights and purpose come from God, not government. I believe the United States was founded on the recognition of God-given rights, and that biblical principles, including the Ten Commandments, have influenced our laws and system of governance. I value faith, family, personal responsibility, and integrity. I believe in protecting religious freedom and allowing individuals to live out their beliefs, while upholding the moral foundations that have guided our nation.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
EQUALITY
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
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
The most reliable energy source long-term is nuclear power, supported by natural gas to maintain grid stability.
ABOUT YOU
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
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
My views are grounded in limited government, personal responsibility, and the belief that the United States should prioritize its own sovereignty and stability. I value faith, family, and the principles this country was founded on, while also recognizing the need for practical solutions that strengthen the nation.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Strongly Agree
The protection of children is one of the government’s most basic and necessary responsibilities. Preventing exploitation and abuse, especially in online environments, is essential to maintaining a safe and functioning society.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Gun ownership is a constitutional right, not a privilege. Many current laws are overly restrictive and should be reformed or repealed. The focus should be on protecting that right while holding criminals accountable, rather than placing additional burdens on law-abiding citizens.
