Kansas Congressional Election 2020 Political Courage Test
| Pro-life | Do you generally support pro-choice or pro-life legislation? | ||
| A chief duty of government at any level, federal, state or local, is to defend the vulnerable among us. There is no one more vulnerable than an unborn child. It should be nothing short of a national emergency that life has become so disposable in our present culture. Dave Lindstrom led the fight to successfully prevent county funding of Planned Parenthood. Dave will continue to fight against any effort to provide subsidies to organizations whose primary function is to devalue or encourage the destruction of human life. | |||
| 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? | ||
| Yes | Do you support increasing defense spending? | ||
| Whether President Jimmy Carter or President Barack Obama, the systemic Democrat depletion of our military has enticed deadly conflict for which America struggled to be at the ready. America needs to make as an untouchable priority a fully funded, fully trained, fully equipped, and fully ready to deploy military. A strong military shouldn't be a political issue. It's just commonsense. | |||
| 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? | ||
| Yes | 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 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? | ||
| No | Do you generally support gun-control legislation? | ||
| The criminal acts of a few cannot justify eroding rights for law abiding Americans. The solution to criminal violence must be dealt with at a human level within the reality that criminals by definition will not comply with just laws, and those dealing with certain mental health issues may not have the ability without help to conform to the expectations of a civil society. | |||
| 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? | ||
| 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? | ||
| 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.)? | ||
| My priorities will include establishing Term Limits and ethics reform, helping our agriculture producers by implementing mCOOL and looking into anti-trust violations in our meat packing industry, protecting our constitutional rights including our right to bear arms, returning power to the states, and restoring our economy by helping our businesses succeed. |
