OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

Strongly Agree

Chemical abortion drugs should meet essential safety standards (such as in-person consultation with a medical doctor) and require reporting to gather evidence on reactions and outcomes.

Strongly Agree

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

If the life of the mother is in danger.

Does the federal government have a role to play in limiting abortion, and if so what federal steps and/or federal legislation would you support?

I would support a 15-week federal abortion ban.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

Separation of church and state is simple and it comes from Jefferson's "wall of separation" which simply means that the government should have no influence on our religious practices. It does not refer to any influence of religion over government.

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Strongly Disagree


NATIONAL SECURITY

With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened. B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger. D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.

C

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.

Strongly Agree

Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?

As the only democracy in the Middle East, support for Israel is linked to our own national security.

What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?

I would reference question number one above. The U.S. has become too involved in being the policemen of the world and fighting never-ending wars. Additionally, if we want to recruit and retain the best and brightest to protect us, then we need to pay them fairly and also ensure that they receive quality benefits and healthcare befitting the sacrifices they have made for us.


HEALTHCARE

Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?

None

What most closely matches your view on healthcare: A) Healthcare for all should be guaranteed and funded by the government with no private healthcare option. (includes "universal healthcare," "medicare for all," etc.) B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options. C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. D) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.

C


ECONOMY

What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?

There are not enough words allowed to being to describe the areas that need to be addressed, but we must lower interest rates and get inflation under control. The cost of living increase is robbing people of their savings and their retirements.

Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.

Strongly Agree

Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?

No


IMMIGRATION

The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.

Strongly Agree

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

People who follow our immigration laws and who are properly vetted should be allowed to enter. Our border crisis is not about denying entry to legal immigrants. All of our families originated from somewhere else before arriving to the U.S. seeking opportunity or fleeing persecution. Instead our border crisis is about not enforcing the rule of law and the existing process for entry.


EDUCATION

I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.

Strongly Agree

I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.

Strongly Agree


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.

Strongly Disagree


2ND AMENDMENT

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

Restrictions on gun ownership don't protect public safety. The 2nd Amendment is clear and should not be infringed upon.


JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY

The Supreme Court should be reformed to include more seats.

Strongly Disagree

As the only candidate in this race who has served as a judge, I can tell you how important it is that our judiciary is not used as a tool to make social policy. It should only be to strictly interpret the law. Those who want to expand the Supreme Court are simply looking for a way to circumvent a constructionist court by packing it with liberals under a Democrat President. This should not be allowed.


ABOUT YOU

When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and religious liberty, which of the following best describes you overall?

Very Conservative

What do you think is the general purpose of government?

To protect the liberty of the individual.

Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.

No

Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.

No


VALUES

Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.

Strongly Agree

Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.

Strongly Agree

Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.

Strongly Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a devoted Christian and member of the Lewisville Church of Christ. When I served as a judge, every decision that I made was based on a strict application of the law and I operated my court with the highest moral and ethical standards.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

The Electoral College should be abolished.

Strongly Disagree


EQUALITY

I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.

Strongly Disagree

Biological males should not be allowed to participate in women's sports or occupy biological women's spaces whether it be bathrooms, locker rooms, sorority houses, women's shelters, or prison.

Strongly Agree


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.

Strongly Disagree

What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?

The most reliable energy source for the U.S. is the Texas oil and gas industry. I will fight for it tooth-and-nail and defend it from radical Democrats and the Biden Administration. Democrats and the Biden Administration
