Strongly Agree

I believe abortion is a deeply personal issue, and government should not interfere in private medical decisions. As a Libertarian, I support protecting individual conscience and ensuring taxpayers are not forced to fund elective abortions or abortion providers.

I believe human life deserves protection, but abortion is a deeply personal issue that should not be unnecessarily dictated by government. I support allowing abortion when necessary to protect the life or serious health of the mother, or in cases of rape or incest. I also believe taxpayers should not be required to fund elective abortions or abortion providers.

Strongly Agree

Strongly Agree

Strongly Agree

I believe federal laws that are constitutionally valid should be enforced consistently and fairly. If the Comstock Act prohibits the mailing or distribution of materials intended for unlawful abortions, it should be enforced. Enforcement should follow the actual text of the law and due process, without selective or politically motivated prosecution.

I believe workers deserve the opportunity to earn more, but wages should be determined by voluntary agreement between employers and employees rather than government mandates. Instead of imposing a minimum wage, government should focus on lowering tax

Strongly Agree

Strongly Agree. Free enterprise and private property give individuals the freedom and incentive to work, invest, create businesses, innovate, and build wealth. Government should protect property rights and provide a fair legal framework while allowing people to participate freely in the marketplace.

Cut waste by auditing state agencies, eliminating redundant programs, and requiring performance-based budgeting. Increase transparency for contracts and spending, strengthen oversight of taxpayer dollars, and end corporate welfare and ineffective subsidies. Streamline regulations and modernize government services to reduce administrative costs while protecting essential programs.

To me, separation of church and state means government should not establish or favor a particular religion, and every person should be free to practice their faith—or no faith—without government interference. I believe religious freedom protects everyone and keeps government focused on protecting individual rights rather than imposing religious beliefs on citizens.

Strongly Disagree

I believe individuals should have the freedom to practice their religion without government compelling them to violate sincerely held religious beliefs. At the same time, government should enforce neutral laws against discrimination and protect everyone’s equal rights. The goal should be balancing individual liberty with equal treatment under the law.

Everyone should have access to quality, affordable healthcare without being forced into a government-run system. I support greater competition, more choices in insurance and providers, lower prescription and medical costs, and reducing unnecessary regulations that drive prices up. Government should protect patients from fraud and abuse while allowing people to choose the healthcare and coverage that works best for them.

Strongly Disagree

I believe the government should not maintain a database of individuals with ongoing medical illnesses solely to assess the economic burden of treatment. Such a database could threaten privacy, invite misuse, and discourage people from seeking care. Healthcare policy should rely on anonymized, aggregated data whenever possible while protecting individual confidentiality and personal liberty.

Strongly Agree

China presents significant challenges to U.S. national security, including military modernization, cyber operations, intellectual property and technology competition, and control of critical global supply chains. The United States should protect its national security and economic interests while maintaining diplomacy and avoiding unnecessary conflict.

I want peace in the Middle East, but I do not believe the United States should police the world or become entangled in foreign conflicts. America should defend itself from genuine threats, pursue diplomacy, and respect the sovereignty of other nations. Our tax dollars should prioritize Americans at home rather than endless foreign intervention.

Strongly Agree

I support protecting peaceful undocumented individuals from unnecessary government overreach. Local governments should focus their resources on protecting their communities and enforcing laws against violence and fraud, rather than being required to act as immigration-enforcement agencies. At the same time, serious crimes should be treated seriously regardless of immigration status.

Agree

I believe education decisions should be made as close to students, parents, teachers, and communities as possible. Reducing federal control can give states and local communities more flexibility to address their students’ needs while maintaining accountability for educational outcomes.

Agree

Foreign governments should not be allowed to use American education to exert political influence, compromise national security, or control research and academic institutions. Foreign funding should be transparent, closely scrutinized, and prohibited when it creates a genuine national-security or undue-influence risk, while protecting legitimate private educational and research relationships.

Strongly Agree

Parents have a fundamental responsibility and right to guide their children’s education and healthcare. Government should respect parental authority while protecting children from abuse and neglect. Decisions should be made as close to the family as possible, not dictated by distant government officials.

Disagree

I believe children must be protected from abuse, coercion, and medically inappropriate treatment, but I would not automatically classify every attempt to influence a child’s gender expression or identity as child abuse. Parents should have a significant role in raising their children, while decisions involving a child’s health and safety should be based on individualized medical and professional standards rather than broad political labels.

Strongly Disagree

I believe marriage is a personal and voluntary relationship, and government should not dictate who consenting adults may marry. People are free to hold their own religious or traditional definition of marriage, but government should protect equal rights and individual liberty rather than impose one definition on everyone.

Agree

Adults should have the freedom to make their own choices, including participating in legal gambling, as long as those activities do not involve force or fraud. Government should not unnecessarily restrict peaceful, voluntary activities between consenting adults. I support allowing greater freedom while maintaining protections against fraud and exploitation.

My spiritual beliefs guide me to value human life, compassion, honesty, personal responsibility, forgiveness, and service to others. I believe every person has inherent dignity and should be treated with respect, regardless of their beliefs or background. My faith influences my values, but I believe government should protect everyone’s freedom to practice their faith—or no faith—without government imposing religious beliefs on them.

Strongly Disagree

Strongly Disagree

I believe government should treat every individual equally under the law, regardless of race. If someone has been personally harmed or had their property or rights violated, there should be a path to restitution based on the specific harm and the responsible party—not collective punishment based on race. We should address injustice without creating new racial divisions.

Agree

Women and girls deserve privacy, safety, and a fair opportunity to compete. Sex-specific spaces can serve legitimate purposes, especially in sports, shelters, locker rooms, and situations involving privacy or safety. I support creating additional categories or options where appropriate, rather than forcing every situation into only “men” or “women,” while treating everyone with dignity and respect.

Agree

Climate change and environmental protection deserve serious attention. I support practical, evidence-based solutions that protect our environment while keeping energy reliable and affordable. We should encourage innovation, cleaner technologies, and responsible stewardship without placing unnecessary burdens on Michigan families and businesses.

Michigan needs reliable, affordable energy for growing demand. I support an all-of-the-above approach where nuclear, natural gas, renewables, and storage compete on cost, reliability, and performance without government picking winners.

Choose not to answer

I identify as a Libertarian because I believe in individual freedom, personal responsibility, limited government, lower taxes, free markets, privacy, and government accountability. I also value human life, parental rights, religious freedom, and strong communities. I believe we can respect traditional values while protecting everyone’s individual rights. I will work with Democrats, Republicans, and Independents when an idea benefits Michigan residents, because people should come before party.

The primary goal of the criminal justice system should be to protect the public, hold offenders accountable, provide justice for victims, protect due process and individual rights, and reduce future crime through appropriate punishment and rehabilitation.

Strongly Agree

Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation and prosecute those who prey on them, including online. That responsibility should be carried out through targeted enforcement, due process, and cooperation with parents and technology providers—not unnecessary surveillance of law-abiding people.

Strongly Agree

U.S. law should be governed by the Constitution and democratically enacted civil laws, not by any religious legal system. At the same time, every American should remain free to practice Islam, Christianity, Judaism, or any other faith under the First Amendment.

Gun ownership is a constitutional right, and restrictions should be limited, clearly defined, and focused on protecting the public. I support keeping firearms away from violent criminals and dangerous individuals, enforcing existing laws, and responsible secure storage around children. Any new restrictions should respect due process and the Second Amendment
