Question Response Comments/Notes
1. Public School Funding in Montana is at an inadequate level. O
2. Parents should have greater freedom to choose how and where their children are educated, including options such as education savings accounts, tax credits, vouchers, or other school-choice mechanisms. SS* I believe parents have the ultimate say on how their children are raised and educated not the government or anyone else. So they should be given every opportunity to do so the way they feel is best.
3. Parents should be allowed to homeschool their children without additional state regulation SS
4. Curricula based on Critical Race Theory (CRT) should be prohibited in Montana public schools SS
5. Comprehensive sex education should be taught in public elementary schools, beginning as early as kindergarten. SO
6. Montana’s income taxes are too high. SS
7. Montana’s property taxes are too high SS
8. Montana’s corporate taxes are too high S* Average Montana's have been strict with budgeting and the state should as well.
9. The Second Amendment protects the right of law-abiding citizens to own firearms for self-defense. SS* Second amendment rights are on number 2 on the constitution for a reason. I strongly believe any laws restricting that right are unconstitutional. Montana's use that right to protect and provide for their families.
10. Montanans should not be discriminated against or treated differently based on their vaccination status. SS* Vaccination status is a personal health issue and should be protected from from the public nobody outside of each person's medical care provider should know anyone's health information.
11. Climate change is a serious problem that requires increased government regulation. SO
12. Environmental regulations in Montana are currently too restrictive. SS* I feel currently that the government should deregulation on emissions on personal property and small businesses, to commonsense practices. A person's vehicle isnt a issue in contrast to jet air liners. Amazon used more emissions (by multiple times) bringing in "green friendly" cement for their Belgrade mt facility then using the local trident montana provider, because it wasnt "green enough".
13. Abortion should be illegal at all stages of pregnancy. SS* I currently believe that life begins at conception and life should be protected. I believe any organization pro abortion is against family 100%.
14. Abortion should be legal only in the early stages of pregnancy and restricted after a specific point, except when necessary to save the life of the mother. SO
15. Abortion should remain legal at all stages of pregnancy, without restriction. SO
16. Individuals and organizations should be allowed to opt out of abortion-related mandates, if those mandates violate their religious or moral convictions. S
17. Physician-assisted suicide should be legal in Montana. SO
18. Biological males who identify as transgender should be allowed to compete in women’s and girl's athletic competitions. SO
19. Medical procedures intended to change a minor’s sex or gender should be prohibited. SS* I dont believe a minor should ever be allowed to have gender changing medicine or surgery. If society says they cant drink or buy firearms why let them make life changing choices?
20. Same-sex couples should be permitted to adopt children. O
21. State and local nondiscrimination laws should be expanded to include sexual orientation and gender identity in the same manner as race, religion, and national origin. O
22. Montana’s marriage laws should be revised to reflect the U.S. Supreme Court’s legalization of same-sex marriage. O* I believe every adult has the right to live their life's as they see fit in the pursuit of happiness.
23. Objective moral truths exist and should inform laws and public policy, rather than shifting cultural preferences. SS
24. Government should be limited in scope, with most decisions best made by individuals, families, and local communities rather than centralized authorities. SS
25. Homosexuals and transgender people should be allowed to adopt children: O
26. Personal responsibility and self-governance are more effective at solving social problems than expanded government programs: SS
27. Parents—not government institutions—are the primary authority responsible for the education and moral formation of their children: SS* I believe simply that parents should be allowed to be parents not the government.
