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

Federal oversight of abortions takes away the sovereignty of states in determining the rights of citizens in each state to make informed decisions. Federal oversight is too broad and insufficiently specific to determine the best choices for the individual.

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

In the circumstances of rape, incest, and to save the life of the pregnant individual

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.

Agree


ECONOMY

What is your position on the minimum wage?

Minimum wage was never intended to be a career income. It was designed to provide temporary income for high school students seeking vocational training. To earn more funds. Education is the key. Plus raising the wage is horrible for small business

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.

We need a balanced budget amendment at both the state and Federal levels. The State needs to cut spending before discussing tax cuts or subsidizing businesses. The State should consolidate services and/or agencies to cut costs.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

Religion and State are similar to oil and water. The two do not mix. Theological ordinances or statutes should not control the government, hence the people. The same goes for the religious side of the premise. The government should stay out of the pulpit.

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.

Of these choices. Option B is the best. Competition is key to innovation and invention for new drugs, treatments, and care. This option is best for a fair market of services.

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?

Israel is an excellent source of human intelligence and or foreign intelligence of our common enemies abroad to ensure America's safety and responses as deemed warranted by our Government.


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.

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.

Being an ordained Minister, I believe in one God, the Creator of all things, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sins, and rose from the dead so that anyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness, grace, and eternal life. I believe the Holy Spirit lives within every believer, guiding and empowering them to live a life of love, and that the Bible is the inspired Word of God.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

Photo ID would ensure the safety and security of our elections.


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?

Natural sources of energy. We need more solar, wind, and hydro-based fuels.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?

To reach a fair and balanced punishment for the criminal act if proven guilty by the ponderance of evidence presented by the court and debated by his or her peers on the presented case

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?

I have always stated as a firearm owner myself with a military and law enforcement background. They should be required to attend a shooting course to learn to use the weapon of their choice. Not the current concealed carry requirement, but at least a 40-hour training course.
