QUESTIONNAIRE*

*Additional information was received after the evaluation was assigned and was not considered in the Panel Evaluations, therefore it is for additional educational purposes only.
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


ECONOMY

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

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.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Under what circumstances can government close churches?

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


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.

C

Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?

None


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?

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.

Strongly Disagree

Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.

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."
