OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Strongly Agree
The right to life at all stages of life is foundational to all other rights. Babies in the womb are human beings from the moment of conception and must be protected. This is non-negotiable. Abortion is not health care. Euthanasia, including stealth euthanasia, is murder and must never be permitted to be legalized in America.
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Strongly Agree
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
None. Period.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Disagree
In no way should taxpayers have to pay for killing babies in the womb.
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Strongly Agree
These drugs are dangerous, not only of course to the baby, but also to the mothers, who are often taking these without any medical supervision. When women and minor girls take these harmful drugs in states where abortion is illegal, they are at risk of great harm, yet because they get the drugs through the mail, they are often unaware of the dangers.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Of what good is the Constitutional Freedom of Religion if it can easily be set aside to compel individuals or businesses to provide services which violate their religious beliefs? This should not be. That it has happened here is decidedly un-American.
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
First, it is not in the Constitution. It was used in a statement in a letter, not any official document, written by Thomas Jefferson. When the concept is used, it should only be used in the context of saying that the state may not interfere in the free practice of religion. Government may not establish a state religion. It was never meant to be used to keep religious faith from impacting government or to forbid those in government from exercising their faith.
NATIONAL SECURITY
With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened. B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger. D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.
America First. Any foreign involvement needs to prioritize the protection and sovereignty of the USA and our citizens.
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?
Israel is our closest ally. The Bible says God will bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse Israel. We must not find ourselves on the wrong side of that equation. Historically, dating back thousands of years to the present day, there has been corruption in Israel. Being a friend and ally of Israel does not mean we overlook or participate with corruption in Israel. We share many of the same goals. We can and should work together.
Islamic terrorism is a threat to the United States' national security.
Strongly Agree
From an objective anthropological standpoint, Islamic fundamentalism is based on elimination of those it views as infidels. Violence is part and parcel of the religion at its core. Deception and defrauding of their enemies are seen as virtues by the Islamic terrorists. They remain a very real threat to our national security.
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
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Disagree
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
People who can afford to pay more taxes should do so in order to provide relief for working families.
Disagree
This statement should read: Government needs to cut spending and reduce taxes in order to provide relief for working families.
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
The government spends entirely too much of taxpayers' hard-earned money on stupid things and things that are not the responsibility of the taxpayers. There are literally billions of dollars of unnecessary spending that should be cut.
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
1. End foreign aid for pet projects that serve no benefit to the American citizens on Main Street. 2. Continue DOGE audits to eliminate fraudulent spending. 3. Cut all government funding that prioritizes foreigners within our borders over American citizens. 4. Cut Title IV funding that incentivizes the removal of children from innocent families. 5. Defund all federal spending on abortion, DEI, surgical mutilation of minors, and medical research on foster children.
IMMIGRATION
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Immigrants should have no criminal history and be willing to follow our laws and assimilate into the American culture. Family members of citizens should be permitted as long as they are not hostile to our values. Immigrants should be prepared to contribute to society and not be a drain on taxpayer-funded services. Lax border policies have led to increased crime - rape, murder, drugs, and child sex trafficking. This is unacceptable.
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree
Undocumented persons need to return home.
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Strongly Agree
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Strongly Agree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
The phrase "shall not be infringed" in the 2nd Amendment is very clear. People convicted of felons have given up some of their rights, but for law-abiding citizens, restrictions on gun ownership constitute a violation of Constitutional rights.
ABOUT YOU
Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.
No
Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.
No
When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and religious liberty, which of the following best describes you overall?
Very Conservative
Constitutional Conservative
VALUES
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.
Strongly Agree
Children are too young to make these decisions which carry lifelong, often irreversible consequences. Often these transitions happen in the context of foster care, adoption, or Child Protective Services care. It is abuse, even when the government is the one doing it. Children in foster care are currently legally able to be used for medical research, including transitioning, without their parents' knowledge or consent. I will introduce legislation to stop this.
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 Agree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a Conservative Christian. Salvation is through Jesus Christ alone. He loves humanity and gave His life to restore us to Himself. He came to bring freedom and to set the captives free. Each one of us is created in the image of God with a purpose. There is an enemy who comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but what the enemy means for harm, God is able to flip it and use it for good. God was responsible for the formation of the United States of America, and He is not finished with us yet! I believe that, through Him, America will be restored, and that our greatest days are ahead of us. Prayer is vital, and God is raising up Godly men and women to lead with integrity, truth, and justice in America.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
The right to vote is precious. Without photo ID, it is too easy for our right to vote to be stolen. Only living American citizens are allowed to vote in our elections, but without verifiable proof of each voter, votes can be cast that should not. This dilutes the legitimate votes and is a serious form of theft. We cannot allow this to happen any more.
EQUALITY
Biological males should not be allowed to participate in women's sports or occupy biological women's spaces whether it be bathrooms, locker rooms, sorority houses, women's shelters, or prison.
Strongly Agree
This is just common sense. It is demeaning and sometimes dangerous to women to allow biological men to pose as women in sports. It is a violation of privacy and safety to allow biological men in women's spaces.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Currently it is hydroelectric energy, coal, and natural gas. Other forms of "clean energy" such as solar, wind, or goethermal energy can be used but are not yet as cost effective or reliable.
