| Yes | Do you support requiring businesses to provide paid medical leave during public health crises, such as COVID-19? | ||
| I support requiring businesses to provide paid medical leave during a public health crisis up to a point. They cannot provide this indefinitely and it cannot be such a burden as to put them out of business. It must be on an extremely limited basis. | |||
| Yes | Do you support the construction of a wall along the Mexican border? | ||
| Yes | Do you support requiring immigrants who are unlawfully present to return to their country of origin before they are eligible for citizenship? | ||

| Eliminate out of control government spending and bring down our national debt. Some outrageous wastes are: -$12 billion annually to maintain vacant government buildings. -$100 million to avoid $5.8 million in fraudulent charges on government credit cards. -$2 million intern program where only one intern was hired. Healthcare reform. I am uniquely qualified to come at the issue from a patient's side of it. Most importantly, we do not need Medicare for All forced upon us while being stripped of our private health coverage. End late term abortion. |
