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).

Disagree

Funding should be provided. But agency should do all they can to promote giving birth options. Agency policy should be neutral in the matter.

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Under 12 to 15 weeks . Def never after a baby can sustain life outside the womb.

Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.

Neutral

I am pro choice, asking women to choose life. In the 70's not many contraceptions. Today there are many, unplanned pregnancies between 2 consenting adults should be few.

The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.

Neutral

The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.

Neutral

Abortion should not be a method of birth control. We must be more responsible.


ECONOMY

What is your position on the minimum wage?

Democrats should have raised it 5 or more years ago. It needs to be $10 to $12. Minimal wage is not suppose to be a livable wage.

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

Strongly Agree

New York Mayor Mandami is wrong on this.

List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.

Eliminate Duplicate service.agencies.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

Churches should stay neutral and invite both parties to address congragation.

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Strongly Agree

If you are open to the public. Serve the public.


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.

As a provider. It is wrong that medicare elders have a copay. Medicare, Medicaid and VA should all be no co pay as 2 of them are currently. Medicare or Medicaid should be optional. Keep Medicaid for poor and create a buy in for Medicare for those who dont want private insurance.

The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.

Disagree


NATIONAL SECURITY

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.

Strongly Agree

If President Trump address on July 17th 2026 is proven factual.

Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?

Yes. We need allies around the world.


IMMIGRATION

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

Neutral

Only if city and state absorbs all cost of hosting illegals. And no benefit to census count.


EDUCATION

I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.

Strongly Disagree

Though changes need to be made to make certain students are being educated

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 Disagree

Marriage predates Christian marriage. I am Christian and heterosexual. but alternative communities should be allowed to be married. As the law currently stands.

I support the expansion of gambling in my state.

Neutral

People in the state should be allowed to vote on the matter.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a Christian. Totally belive in freedom of religion, as our country was founded.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

Voter ID, a state or federal ID should be required to vote


EQUALITY

Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.

Strongly Agree


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.

Strongly Disagree

Climate change is natural. As were the previous multiple ice ages. If a person or agency or group is pushing that something major will happen in a few years, it is usually tied to funding. The last 2 or 3 predictions Vice President Gore made were less than fruitful.

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

Solar and Nuclear
