| Pro-life | Do you generally support pro-choice or pro-life legislation? | ||
| I am Pro Life and believe this issue belongs to the States. It should not have been left to nine unelected Justices, nor should it be in the hands of congress to be used a political football. This issue is very sensitive and should be decided by people in their respective States not in Washington. | |||
| Yes | Do you support expanding federal funding to support social safety net programs such as Social Security and Medicare? | ||
| People have paid into these programs and the funds should be available when they need them. We do however have to cut spending on things the federal government has no business funding. | |||
| Yes | Do you support the regulation of indirect campaign contributions from corporations,unions, and individuals? | ||
| We need to get as much money as possible out of politics | |||
| No | Do you support the protection of government officials, including law enforcement officers, from personal liability in civil lawsuits concerning alleged misconduct? | ||
| Everyone should be held accountable for their actions. You're not special because you were elected to office, hold a government position, or wear a badge. | |||
| No | Do you support increasing defense spending? | ||
| We spend more than enough on defense. The budget is bloated and full of waste. | |||
| No | Do you support federal spending as a means of promoting economic growth? | ||
| No | Do you support providing financial relief to businesses AND/OR corporations negatively impacted by the state of national emergency for COVID-19? | ||
| No | Do you support the federal government taking action, beyond those of the Federal Reserve, to alleviate inflation? | ||
| Taking money from the private sector to give right back to the private sector is bad policy and allows the government to pick winners and losers. The government overreacted to Covid 19 and shouldn't have shut down the economy in the first place. They government is inefficient and will only make inflation worse. They need to stop borrowing, printing, and spending money which creates more inflation. They need to fix the supply chain and embrace supply side economics which will increase the amount of goods, which will drive down demand and then prices down. | |||
| No | Do you support the forgiveness of federal student loan debt? | ||
| No one was forced to take out these loans and people should be accountable for their decisions. Congress should look to take action at the root of the actual issue which is the cost of college. To maintain tax free status, universities should be required to use their endowments to lower costs. Universities should not require electives to graduate. By only taking the courses needed for your degree, you could cut tuition and time spent in half. | |||
| Yes | Do you support requiring a government-issued identification in order to vote at the polls? | ||
| 100% It's vital to our nation that only citizens vote in our elections. | |||
| No | Do you support government funding for the development of renewable energy (e.g. solar, wind, geo-thermal)? | ||
| No | Do you support the federal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions? | ||
| The private sector should be doing this. I would support tax breaks for companies, but no government funding. The private sector can do it much more efficiently and at no cost to the taxpayer. | |||
| No | Do you generally support gun-control legislation? | ||
| Shall not be infringed is pretty self-explanatory. Those who wish to cause harm do not care about the law. Murder is already illegal, yet people still commit the crime. The government only ever infringes on the law-abiding citizen. If congress were to focus only on the criminal, they would have bipartisan support across the country. I'd support legislation that gives a 50-year minimum sentence for committing a crime with a gun and see how fast gun related crimes drop. We need to focus on the criminals and those who wish to do harm. | |||
| No | Do you support a government-run (single-payer) healthcare program, such as Medicare-for-All? | ||
| No | Do you support expanding paid family AND/OR medical leave opportunities? | ||
| Yes | Do you support lowering the cost of prescription drugs? | ||
| Yes | Do you support increasing security along the southern US border? | ||
| Yes | Do you support requiring immigrants who are unlawfully present to return to their country of origin before they are eligible for citizenship? | ||
| If we don't have a border, we don't have a country. I understand why people want to come here, but we must let people in, in an orderly fashion and know exactly who is entering our country. We have many immigrants who did things the right way, and it's a slap in their face to allow people to rush our border and be allowed to stay. Sovereignty is important for all nations. | |||
| No | Do you support economic intervention as a means of resolving international conflicts? | ||
| No | Do you support the U.S. providing increased offensive military aid to Ukraine? | ||
| We either borrow money or print money to spend on military aide. This is continuing to increase our debt and inflation which is hurting Americans. We need to be involved in less conflicts around the world | |||
| No | Do you support raising taxes, on any income or on any entity, to promote economic growth? | ||
| Lowering taxes is what creates economic growth. History shows this is true as well, as lower taxes brings in more revenue to the federal government due to the increase in economic growth. You can't tax yourself into prosperity. Taking money away from the private sector isn't going to cause growth. | |||
| Yes | Do you generally support removing barriers to international trade (for example: tariffs, quotas, etc.)? | ||
| I'd like to see us as close to free trade as we can get with our partners around the world. | |||
