What is the Political Courage Test?

Florida Congressional Election 2022 Political Courage Test

Pro-life Do you generally support pro-choice or pro-life legislation?
I believe in the sanctity of life from conception until natural death. The only morally valid exception is a life versus life situation. For rape, incest, and human trafficking, governments may allow these exceptions, but only before the child's heartbeat is detected; after a heartbeat is detected, the child's formation is too far along to permit these exceptions.
No In order to balance the budget, do you support an income tax increase on any tax bracket?
No Do you support expanding federal funding to support entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare?
No Do you support the regulation of indirect campaign contributions from corporations and unions?
Instead, we should cap elections so candidates cannot raise or spend more than a certain amount.
Yes Do you support the protection of government officials, including law enforcement officers, from personal liability in civil lawsuits concerning alleged misconduct?
No Do you support increasing defense spending?
But we must retain a strong military.
No Do you support federal spending as a means of promoting economic growth?
Yes Do you support lowering corporate taxes 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?
Perhaps loans to businesses negatively impacted from a forced closure in exchange for deflated consumer pricing.
No Do you support requiring states to adopt federal education standards?
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?
I support all forms of energy and believe in a sensible approach to limited government and environmental accountability.
No Do you generally support gun-control legislation?
No; the right to bear arms shall not be infringed.
Yes Do you support repealing the 2010 Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare")?
No Do you support requiring businesses to provide paid medical leave during public health crises, such as COVID-19?
Regarding the ACA, only if we replace it with a superior model that is consistent with conservative principles.
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?
With certain exceptions based on individual situations, as I am not looking to tear apart families.
Yes Should the United States use military force to prevent governments hostile to the U.S. from possessing a weapon of mass destruction (for example: nuclear, biological, chemical)?
Yes Do you support reducing military intervention in Middle East conflicts?
Yes Do you generally support removing barriers to international trade (for example: tariffs, quotas, etc.)?
So long as the imports are from countries that trade fairly with the USA.
Domestic energy independence, federal deficit reduction with a balanced budget, and finishing the border wall. Also, help more families to become homeowners, encourage career training and finance classes in schools, term limits for Congress, require states to audit their voter rolls, etc. Visit votechuba.com to learn more, volunteer, or donate.
