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 would potentially support measures where taxpayer funds would help facilities that provide alternatives other than abortion and that are essential to the care and welfare of the unborn child. Additionally, upon birth, taxpayer dollars could be used to supplement adoption and foster agencies to ensure proper placement of the newborn child into a family that can ensure a healthy and loving environment.
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Rape, incest, or situations detrimental to the health and safety of the unborn child or mother that could result in death before the birth of the 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.
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?
I feel the current minimum wage is being driven by the high budget Washington State has created. If we fix the budget, then the minimum wage can be adjusted accordingly.
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.
Oversight of grants, loans, and contracts Roles of the State Auditor’s Office and Office of Financial Management Payment patterns in Medicaid and other major social programs
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
For me it comes down to the basic principles of ensuring protection of religious freedoms as established in the First Amendment and preventing government from infringement of those freedoms.
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
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Agree
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, there is a strong economic value in our relationship with Israel. We also gain certain military and strategic value in our partnership with Israel.
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.
Disagree

Disagree
VALUES

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
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Neutral
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
I don't believe there is any one single source; we should continue to explore hydroelectric options in a way that would not impact salmon, while also harnessing wind and solar options.
