QUESTIONNAIRE*
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Under no circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed
Chemical abortion drugs should meet essential safety standards (such as in-person consultation with a medical doctor) and require reporting to gather evidence on reactions and outcomes.
Strongly Agree
I do not believe in chemical abortions but if they are allowed by law then they should be regulated and meet all reporting requirements.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree

Strongly Agree
What is your position on the minimum wage?
Did not answer
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
I am committed to protecting investments from the political elite seeking to use a person's hard-earned dollars to further their environmental, social, and corporate governance agendas rather than the best investment opportunity for the investor and their money.

None. The right to freely worship is a constitutionally protected right that government cannot take away.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree

(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.

Yes. They are the one ally we can trust as a nation and count on in the Middle East to have our best interests in mind who will fight alongside us in battle.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
EDUCATION
The state should fund education by allowing dollars to follow the child through programs which protect parents' freedom to choose their child's school – public, private, or homeschool.
Strongly Agree
I wrote and sponsored legislation that offered school choice to parents. I a firm believer in letting parents choose the best school for their children.
VALUES
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
Parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.
Strongly Agree
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.

iVoterGuide Notes:
Shane Schoeller answered:"As a Christian, I believe the Bible is God's inspired Word and that God the Father created all things as stated in the book of Genesis. I believe in the trinity that God is three in one.In His creation, God chose to create man through the creation of Adam and Eve. They were both created without sin. They sinned by choosing chose to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thereby removing their innocence.Therefore, a payment we could not pay was necessary to bring about reconciliation with God. Jesus paid the penalty for our sin through His death and resurrection thereby making the hope and gift of our salvation possible when by faith we confess our sins, repent and believe in Him as our Lord and Savior."
