OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.

Strongly Disagree

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Continuing a pregnancy is a decision to be made by a woman with the help of her doctor


ECONOMY

It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.

Agree


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Governments should not discriminate against individuals, organizations or small businesses because of their belief that marriage is only a union of one man and one woman.

Disagree

Governments should define marriage as between one man and one woman; no other definition of marriage should be legalized or supported with taxpayer or public funds.

Strongly Disagree

Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.

Neutral

The Ten Commandments should not be displayed in public school buildings or court houses.

Strongly Agree

I promise to protect the freedom of Christians to share the Gospel and to practice Biblical principles.

No Answer

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

A secular, open, and pluralistic society where government does not ascribe to one worldview over another is a right to which every American is entitled as guaranteed in the US constitution.


NATIONAL SECURITY

The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.

Disagree


EDUCATION

The federal government should mandate standards and requirements (such as Common Core) for local schools.

Disagree

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Agree

I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.

Strongly Disagree


VALUES

Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.

Disagree

I support adding sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression as protected classes in non-discrimination laws.

Strongly Agree

Promotion of the LGBT agenda in public schools, including teaching of “sexual orientation” and “gender identity”, is completely inappropriate and should be opposed at the state and local level.

Strongly Disagree

I support allowing public high school students to participate in athletic competition based on the gender with which they identify instead of biological sex.

Neutral

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a humanist. I believe that human beings are inherently good and seek rational ways to solve problems.
