OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
None
ECONOMY
Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.
Strongly Disagree
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
It should be overhauled to simplify it so that an 8 year old could understand it.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
Strongly Agree
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
What should be the relationship between the church and the state?
They can coordinate. The Founding Fathers and the Constitution never meant to have the state separate from religion or religious peoples. They simply didn’t want a religion to take over the government as had occurred in England in their time.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Never.
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)Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded.
C. Medicaid and Medicare can remain available but absolutely no other taxpayer funded programs are necessary - the rest should be privately owned and that is healthy capitalism.
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 United States has become too involved in others policies and should remain focused on our issues and our sovereignty unless in eminent danger - we have a lot to take care of inside our own secured borders and we need to secure the borders!
I support the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement to pressure Israel to withdraw from occupied territories, remove the separation barrier in the West Bank, allow full equality for Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel, and promote the rights of Palestinian refugees.
Strongly Disagree
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Secure our borders and highly vet every single immigrant that wants to come into our country. It is a privilege to be an American citizen and we must value that 100%
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
State and federal funds shall be denied to any public or private entity, such as a sanctuary city, that is not in compliance with immigration laws.
Strongly Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Only those peoples who agree with the American way of life, will be successful citizens, have no police records of any kind and will take the citizen test and learn English.
VALUES
Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I walk the walk not just talk the talk- I am a walking with Christ Christian, I attend church regularly and I love and obey my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Obedience is how I show my love for my God.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Voter ID with a picture. Proper certification of all voting machines. Audits of every single voting machine with any kind of minor discrepancy. All done by vetted third parties. If there are still issues then we must go to paper ballots.
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
No. Race is part of who we are- it is a positive not a negative and it is the American way of life- it is a beautiful rainbow of people that created America to begin with - we fought a war to eradicate slavery and except for the past 10 years, we have been extremely successful.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Agree
As long as there is no danger to the population in regards to tremors and earthquakes or anything detrimental that would hurt nearby towns or cities.
Which comes closest to your view? A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost.
A. There is no environmental climate change crisis so environmental laws should be in protection of endangered species and in protection of clean air which would help jobs not ever to hurt the economy.
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
Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).
Dalila’s Channel on Rumble
Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized in either civil or criminal court for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.
No
What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
I am a constitutionalist. I am for the people I represent the people I will fight for the people because I come from a grass roots platform. I am the founder of Act Monterey Bay a grassroots organization that brought together all the groups in Northern California. We rally and bring speakers to the counties to fight for our constitutionally protected freedoms. We believe we are given our sovereign rights through our creator God. We believe in small government, state rights and above all else we are all sovereign. I believe in free market and capitalism. I will fight for all of these rights which are proper and good. Our founding fathers had it right and tried to make sure America would always have small government constitutionally protected rights and we need to continue to fight for those rights or America will fall and fail. America is the last country with freedom to its people. If America falls the world will follow. Freedom is not free!
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Agree
I agree to the point where if it is shown that the policy has failed the citizen, then the policy must be changed and the policeman may be prosecuted.
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Strongly Disagree
Mental health communities must be funded without using police department funds. I was a nurse in an institution for the criminally insane. We need more mental health hospitals but they must fund themselves.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
There should be background checks to make sure guns do not get in felons hands or in mentally ill people‘s hands. But that is the only restriction.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
