OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.
Strongly Agree
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds or grants from federal, state, or local governments.
Strongly Agree
I support the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which requires health care providers to provide life-saving treatment for infants who survive an attempted abortion.
Strongly Agree
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
I can't think of any, but it is not the Federal Government's role to tell people what they can and cannot do. As a Christian I believe abortion is murder.
ECONOMY
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.
Strongly Disagree
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?
Younger workers should be able to invest their monies as they see fit for retirement. Social Security should be privatized for future generations.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
I would bring all our troops home from foreign countries that are not necessary in efforts that directly affect the US. I would eliminate all programs that are not constitutionally mandated.
Under what circumstances should taxpayers help pay off existing student loans?
None
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Governments should not discriminate against individuals, organizations or small businesses because of their belief that marriage is only a union of one man and one woman.
Strongly Agree
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
Agree
I promise to protect the freedom of Christians to share the Gospel and to practice Biblical principles.
Yes
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
It means the government should endorse no church or religion.
HEALTHCARE
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.
Strongly Disagree
I support the elimination of private healthcare insurance.
Strongly Disagree
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
Heatlhcare coverage should be able to be obtianed across state lines with no limitations. A free market approach is the only way to keep costs at a minimum. The federal government should have no say in how people obtain healthcare coverages, except to take away obstacles that make it unaffordable.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.
Disagree
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of radical Islamic terrorism?
We should pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan completely. Our presence there has only fanned the flames.
IMMIGRATION
I am in favor of construction of a wall and other necessary infrastructure on our border that gives complete control over entering and exiting the United States.
Disagree
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) should be abolished.
Neutral
State and federal funds should be denied to any public or private entity, including but not limited to sanctuary cities, that are not in compliance with immigration laws.
Strongly Agree
Employers should be required to use E-verify to confirm the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States.
Neutral
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Anyone who wishes to be a contributing member to society should be allowed to immigrate, and not be a burden to states.
EDUCATION
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Agree
I support adding sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression as protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I have been a born again Christian since age 12. I grew up going to a Assemblies of God school and church in California. I then attended a Non-Denominational church. I consider myself a Non-Denominational Protestant. I believe in the Holy Trinity, the inerrancy of the Bible, the death and resurrection of Christ. My values stem from these beliefs. Treat others as you would like to be treated.
ABOUT YOU
When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and immigration, which of the following best describes you overall?
No Answer
Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
I consider my views to be Libertarian. I am for freedom from government tyranny. The government should not be involved in social issues. My foreign policy is that we should exhaust all diplomatic means before even considering sending money or troops anywhere. As long as people are not hurting anyone else they should be able to do as they want.
Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.
NO
Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
I am the Libertarian candidate for US House CD-33. If you are tired of the same politics and ineffective policies of the the two major parties, if you want an end to endless government interference in your lives, please consider voting for me.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Mandatory minimum sentencing should be required and enforced for violent crimes.
Agree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Convicted violent felons should not be allowed to obtain guns.
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
I support BDS (boycott, divestment, and sanction) against Israel if they refuse to allow the creation of a Palestinian state.
Strongly Disagree
I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.
Strongly Agree
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
The Electoral College should be abolished.
Strongly Disagree
In priority order, what three areas of legislation do you propose to author or sponsor if elected?
My first priority would be to get businesses open that are closed due to the pandemic. I would author legislation designed businesses to open as they see fit and not have the government interfere in people livelihoods. Secondly, a balanced budget amendment must be passed. The federal deficit is out of control with neither major party doing anything to stop the spending. Thirdly, healthcare must be reformed to become a equitable and fair thing for everyone. Allowing competition between state lines for policies will lower rates.
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Racism is a matter of people's hearts and minds. I do not believe it is a threat to domestic security. The government cannot "solve' racism.
