Strongly Agree

I believe every human life has inherent value and deserves protection. Elective abortion should not be permitted, except in cases of rape, incest, or when the life of the mother is at serious risk. At the same time, we must ensure women and families have access to real support, including prenatal care, adoption services, and resources that make choosing life a viable and supported option.

Strongly Agree

I believe human life has inherent dignity and should be protected under the law. That includes protecting the unborn while also supporting women, families, and children, and ensuring compassionate care for the elderly and vulnerable. These are complex issues, and our policies should reflect both a respect for life and real-world compassion.

Agree

Human life should be treated with respect and dignity. At the same time, policies in this area should be thoughtful and consider the real-world impact on families, medical professionals, and those pursuing fertility treatments.

Agree

I support enforcing laws that protect life, but I also believe states should have the primary role in determining policy in this area. Any enforcement should be clear, constitutional, and respectful of the balance between federal and state authority.

Separation of church and state means the government should not control religion or interfere with people’s faith. At the same time, it should not restrict individuals from living out their beliefs in public life. It’s about protecting both religious freedom and limited government.

Agree

People should be treated fairly and with respect, but the government should not force individuals or businesses to act against their sincerely held beliefs. At the same time, communities work best when people treat each other with dignity and businesses serve the public responsibly.

Strongly Agree

The Chinese Communist Party poses real threats across military, cyber, and economic fronts. We must protect American innovation, secure our supply chains, and ensure our national security is not compromised by foreign adversaries.

The United States’ relationship with Israel is important as they are a key ally in a volatile region and share our commitment to security and democratic values. At the same time, we should always value human life and support efforts that reduce violence and protect innocent civilians on all sides.

Government has a poor track record managing healthcare, but everyone should have access to care. Today’s system is full of misaligned incentives that reward higher costs instead of better outcomes. I support a strong private system with targeted safety nets, along with reforms that increase transparency, improve competition, and focus on lowering costs for patients.

Strongly Disagree

I do not support government tracking of individuals’ medical conditions. Healthcare decisions and personal medical information should remain private, and we should focus on protecting patient privacy rather than expanding government databases.

I support policies that create better-paying jobs, not mandates that can hurt small businesses. Wages should be driven by the market, while we focus on economic growth, job creation, and opportunities that help Idaho families succeed.

Strongly Agree

Free enterprise and private property rights are fundamental to economic growth, job creation, and individual freedom. Protecting these principles ensures opportunity, innovation, and long-term prosperity for Idaho families and small businesses.

I want to make government more transparent so taxpayers can see where their money is going. That includes clearer budgets, fair and open bidding on contracts, reducing wasteful bureaucracy, and improving oversight of healthcare spending so we get better results at lower cost.

Strongly Disagree

I do not support sanctuary cities. We need to enforce our laws while also fixing our immigration system so it is clear, fair, and works for both our economy and those seeking to come here legally.

Agree

Education decisions are best made at the state and local level, not by federal bureaucracy. We should reduce federal overreach and return control to communities, while ensuring students, parents, and teachers have the resources they need to succeed.

Strongly Agree

Foreign governments shouldn’t have influence over what’s taught in American schools. Education decisions should be made by local communities, parents, and taxpayers—not outside interests. That said, we should still allow transparent partnerships for research and innovation as long as they’re clearly disclosed and don’t impact curriculum or local control.

The goal of the criminal justice system should be to protect the public, hold offenders accountable, and ensure fair and equal treatment under the law. It should deter crime, support victims, and, when appropriate, provide opportunities for rehabilitation so individuals can return to society and contribute in a positive way.

Strongly Agree

Protecting children from exploitation must be a top priority. This requires strong enforcement, better tools to track and stop offenders, and cooperation with technology companies. We should focus on preventing harm, supporting victims, and holding those responsible fully accountable.

Strongly Disagree

No religion should be written into law or given special status by the government. Our laws should be based on the Constitution and apply equally to everyone. At the same time, every individual should be free to practice their faith without interference, as long as it does not

The focus should be on enforcing existing laws and keeping firearms out of the hands of criminals and those who pose a real danger to others. At the same time, we must protect the constitutional rights of law abiding citizens. Solutions should focus on accountability, mental health support, and responsible ownership, not broad restrictions that impact responsible gun owners.

Very Conservative

I would describe myself as a conservative who believes in limited government, personal responsibility, and individual freedom. At the same time, I focus on practical solutions that strengthen families, support local communities, and create opportunity for everyone.

No

No

Strongly Agree

Parents have the primary responsibility and right to guide their child’s health, education, and upbringing. Government should support families, not replace them. Decisions about a child’s well-being should be made by parents whenever possible, with transparency and respect from schools and institutions.

Agree

Children deserve protection and careful, responsible guidance when it comes to major life decisions. These situations should be handled with the involvement of parents and medical professionals, with a focus on the long term well being of the child. We should be cautious about making permanent decisions at a young age and ensure families are fully informed and involved every step of the way.

Strongly Agree

I believe government should respect the rights and freedoms of all individuals, including the right of consenting adults to marry. At the same time, I also believe in protecting religious freedom so that no one is forced to act against their beliefs. We can respect both individual liberty and religious conviction without government overreach.

Neutral

I believe adults should have the freedom to make their own choices, including whether to participate in gambling. At the same time, we have a responsibility to protect children and vulnerable individuals from addiction and harm. Any approach should include strong safeguards, age restrictions, and resources for prevention and treatment, so personal freedom is balanced with responsible oversight.

My values are rooted in faith, personal responsibility, and treating others with respect and compassion. I believe in living with integrity, serving others, and strengthening families and communities. I also believe everyone should be free to practice their beliefs without government interference, and that we should treat one another with dignity even when we disagree.

Neutral

Voting should be both accessible and secure. Requiring a reasonable form of verification helps protect the integrity of elections and ensures every legal vote counts. At the same time, we should make it easy for eligible voters to participate, including options like absentee and mail in voting with proper safeguards in place. We can protect access and integrity at the same time.

Strongly Disagree

I believe in equal treatment under the law and that policies should focus on helping people based on need, not race. We should work to expand opportunity, improve education, and support strong communities so everyone has a fair shot. The goal should be to bring people together and move forward, not create new divisions.

Strongly Agree

Women’s sports and private spaces exist to ensure fairness, safety, and equal opportunity. Those protections should be preserved. At the same time, everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. We should approach this issue thoughtfully, with solutions that protect women while also recognizing the importance of respect for all individuals.

Agree

Climate change is a real issue that should be taken seriously. We should focus on practical, responsible solutions that protect our environment while also supporting jobs and economic growth. Innovation, cleaner energy, and conservation can all play a role, but we need approaches that are realistic and don’t place unnecessary burdens on working families.

Nuclear power is one of the most reliable ways to meet growing energy demand. My dad was a scientist at INL, and I’ve seen how advances make it safer and more efficient. We should invest in nuclear alongside other sources to ensure stable, affordable
