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?
To save the life of the mother. Government should not be involved in this decision. This is a mother and father decision with consultation with their God.
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
The labeling of such drugs should include explanation of the risks, side effects along with an explanation of what the mother can expect and when such occurrences will occur. If other issues occur the mother should see medical attention, for over 11% of those taking these drugs do need immediate medical attention. Also within the packaging should be an anti abortion pill and instructions, in the event the mother changes her mind. Intent is to save lives.
ECONOMY
What is your position on the minimum wage?
Government should not be involved. This is an issue of supply and demand.
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 the omnibus budget bill of the session. Too much "pork" built in. Bills / grants need good rational, a time limit, dollar limits and budget impact. Agencies need to report on programs effectiveness of dollars spent; are dollars directed to the correct targets (effective screening); what are the program results with periodic reporting; if additional funding is need, rescreening is required (not an automatic renewal). Discontinue ineffective, overlapping and outdated programs.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
Government can not dictate a church/s that has to be followed or what the churches teach. Government can not discriminate or disallow citizens from congregating to worship the creator unless they are subversive to the US Constitution. But the church has the right to criticize the government when it is not following the US Constitution Preamble or the US/state Constitutions or Biblical citizenship. The "black robes" preached from the pulpits human rights and the Gospel thus birthing our nation.
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.
option B
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?
The United States' relationship with Israel very important. Our religious roots, culture and our laws go back to Israel. There are so many similarities between the US and Israel. Our founding fathers almost named our country Israel and were proposing Hebrew be the language of the land. 13 tribes, 13 colonies. Our country has been blessed by blessing Israel. History shows when we do not bless Israel there are consequences to be paid; either weather, economy or political.
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.
One true God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), creator of all. His word is written in the Bible. If we were to follow the 10 commandments we would not need all of the manmade laws.
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 Agree
iVoterGuide Notes:
Candidate notified iVoterGuide that the intended answer to this question should have been ‘Strongly Disagree'. This change was not considered during panel evaluations.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Nuclear. Until there are enough nuclear plants on line, the present coal and natural gas plants should remain on line (not a climate issue). Research is close to reprocessing the spent nuclear materials, thus minimizing the storage concern.
