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
I stand firm: tax dollars must protect life, not end it. I oppose all federal, state, and local funding—including Title X grants—for abortion providers like Planned Parenthood. Your hard-earned money should never violate your conscience. I will redirect these funds to community health centers that provide real medical care and support for mothers and babies. Let's anchor our budget in our values.
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
I believe every life is a gift. My position is clear: elective abortion should not be allowed. I support a total protection of the unborn, with the sole exception being to save the life of the mother. Taxpayer dollars must not fund the destruction of life. We should instead invest in prenatal care and adoption to support both mother and child. Let's build a culture that values life at every stage.
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Strongly Agree
I believe that the right to life is our first and most sacred liberty. I stand for the legal protection of every human being from the moment of conception until natural death. Our laws must reflect this moral truth, ensuring that no life is treated as disposable. By protecting the unborn and the elderly alike, we anchor our community in dignity and compassion. Every life is a gift worth fighting for.
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Agree
I believe every human life is sacred, regardless of how it begins. We must extend legal protection to embryos created through artificial methods, ensuring they are not subject to purposeful destruction. Our laws should reflect a consistent ethic of life that values the smallest among us. I am committed to policies that honor the dignity of every embryo and support ethical alternatives.
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Strongly Agree
I stand for the rule of law and the protection of life. I support the enforcement of the Comstock Act to prevent the interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs. Bypassing state protections with mail-order pills endangers both the unborn and women’s health. We must ensure our postal system is not used to circumvent the sanctity of life. It’s time to restore these vital legal safeguards.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
I believe the "separation of church and state" is a one-way street designed to protect people of faith from government overreach—not to scrub faith from the public square. Our Founders never intended for the state to be hostile toward religion. My priority is defending your right to live out your values without fear of federal interference. Faith is the anchor of our community, and I will always protect your religious liberty.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
I believe the government has no right to conscript your conscience. Forcing individuals or businesses to provide services that violate their deeply held moral or religious beliefs is a direct assault on the First Amendment. Our country was founded on the freedom to live according to one's convictions, not under the thumb of state-mandated secularism. I will always defend your right to say "no" when your faith is on the line.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
The Chinese Communist Party is the greatest geopolitical threat to our way of life. From cyber warfare and intellectual property theft to economic manipulation, the CCP seeks to undermine American sovereignty. We must decouple our critical supply chains, bolster our military readiness, and protect our West Virginia industries from unfair competition. I will always put American security first.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
I believe the U.S.-Israel bond is unbreakable and essential. As a Jew, I know Israel is our greatest democratic ally and a bulwark of stability in a volatile region. This relationship is vital for our mutual security, intelligence sharing, and shared Judeo-Christian values. I will always stand with Israel against those who seek its destruction, ensuring our "Special Relationship" remains a top priority. Together, we anchor the cause of freedom.
HEALTHCARE
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.
I believe in Option C: we must protect the promises made to our seniors and most vulnerable by keeping Medicare and Medicaid strong, but we must stop the push toward socialized medicine. Bureaucracy isn't the cure for high costs; competition is. I support a market-based approach that lowers premiums and preserves your right to choose your own doctor. Let’s keep healthcare personal, not political.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Strongly Disagree
I strongly disagree with the creation of a government medical database. Your health history is a private matter, not an entry in a state-run ledger to assess your "economic burden." This type of surveillance is a chilling overreach that threatens our fundamental right to privacy and could lead to the rationing of care. I will always fight to keep the government’s hands off your medical records. Your data belongs to you, not the bureaucracy.
ECONOMY
What is your position on the minimum wage?
I believe in an economy built on growth, not government mandates. I oppose a federal minimum wage because it acts as an anchor on our small businesses, leading to reduced hours and lost opportunities for entry-level workers. I trust our local employe
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
I believe free enterprise and private property are the twin pillars of a flourishing society. When individuals are free to own, innovate, and compete, our entire community prospers. These rights provide the incentive for hard work and the foundation for personal liberty. I am committed to protecting your property from overreach and ensuring our markets remain open for every dreamer to succeed.
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
I’m fighting to make every tax dollar count for West Virginia. My top priorities to cut waste are: Audit State Agencies: Root out redundant programs and ghost contracts. End Corporate Handouts: No more "crony" subsidies for out-of-state giants. Reform PEIA & Procurement: Streamline purchasing to lower costs for workers. Modernize Infrastructure Oversight: Ensure road funds build highways, not bureaucracy.
IMMIGRATION
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree
I strongly oppose sanctuary cities. By definition, entering our country illegally is a crime, and providing safe havens for those who break our laws undermines the rule of law and endangers West Virginians. I believe local law enforcement must cooperate with federal authorities to deport criminal aliens and secure our borders. My priority is the safety of our citizens, not shielding those who bypass our legal system.
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
I believe our children’s future belongs in the hands of parents and local teachers, not federal bureaucrats. I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education to restore state sovereignty and community control. Decisions about curriculum and funding should be made in West Virginia, not Washington. By cutting this middleman, we can send tax dollars directly to the classroom and empower families with true school choice.
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Strongly Agree
I believe American classrooms must remain free from foreign influence. I support a total ban on foreign governments funding our education system. Whether through "Confucius Institutes" or massive grants to universities, these dollars often come with strings that undermine our values and national security. Our children’s curriculum should be shaped by West Virginians and Americans, not by the agendas of overseas adversaries.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?
I believe the primary goal of the criminal justice system is public safety and the rule of law. Drawing from my tenure as a Reserve Sheriff’s Deputy, I know firsthand that justice starts with supporting those on the thin blue line. We must prioritize victims, ensure swift consequences for crime, and maintain order. While rehabilitation is a noble goal for some, my mission is to keep dangerous criminals off our streets and protect West Virginia families.
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Agree
I believe protection starts at home with the parent, but the government must hold Big Tech accountable. It is a core duty of the state to ensure a safe digital environment by prosecuting predators and forcing platforms to implement strict safeguards against sexual exploitation. While I will always defend parental rights, our laws must be a shield for the innocent against those who use the internet to prey on our children.
Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.
Strongly Agree
I believe there is only one law in the United States: the U.S. Constitution. I am 100% against Sharia law being accepted or incorporated in any form within our legal framework. Our republic stands on the foundation of equal justice under a single, unified constitutional standard. We cannot allow foreign or religious legal codes to undermine the sovereign rights and liberties guaranteed to every American citizen.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
I believe the Second Amendment is crystal clear: "shall not be infringed." I oppose all gun restrictions, as they only disarm law-abiding citizens while doing nothing to stop criminals who ignore the law. Public safety is best protected when West Virginians can exercise their God-given right to self-defense without government interference. My stance is simple: no bans, no registries, and no compromises on our constitutional liberties.
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?
Conservative
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
Government should recognize and support the fundamental right and essential duty of parents to direct their child's health and educational well-being.
Strongly Agree
I believe parents, not the government, are the primary authority in their children's lives. I support the fundamental right and duty of mothers and fathers to direct their child's health and educational well-being. Whether it’s medical decisions or choosing the best school, your family’s values must come first. I will fight to ensure the state remains a partner to parents, never a replacement. Let’s return power to the home.
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.
Strongly Agree
I believe we must protect the innocence and physical integrity of our children. Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex are a profound violation of parental and medical trust, and I categorize such actions as child abuse. Childhood is a time for natural development, not irreversible medical experiments or ideological grooming. I will fight for laws that safeguard our youth from these harmful practices.
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
I believe marriage is a sacred covenant ordained by God. No government possesses the moral authority to redefine what is divinely established. Furthermore, I believe the state should not be in the business of licensing a religious institution. We must protect the sanctity of this union while removing bureaucratic overreach from our personal lives. Faith defines marriage; the government shouldn't.
I support the expansion of gambling in my state.
Neutral
I take a neutral stance on the expansion of gambling in West Virginia. I recognize it can provide a much-needed boost to our state’s revenue and local economies, yet I also understand the valid concerns regarding its social impact on our families and communities. Any decision must carefully weigh the economic benefits against the potential for increased addiction and crime. I trust our voters to lead this conversation.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
My life and leadership are rooted in my Jewish faith and the timeless Judeo-Christian values that built our nation. I believe in the sanctity of life, the importance of family, and our God-given right to liberty. These principles guide my commitment to justice, personal responsibility, and protecting the vulnerable. For me, faith isn't just a private matter—it’s the moral compass that ensures I serve West Virginia with integrity and heart.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Agree
I believe voting is our most sacred civic duty and a privilege we must protect. To ensure the integrity of our elections and maintain public trust, I strongly disagree with voting without photo identification. Requiring a valid ID is a common-sense measure that safeguards the principle of "one citizen, one vote." By securing our ballots, we honor the voices of all West Virginians and ensure our democracy remains fair and transparent.
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
I strongly oppose race-based reparations. As someone of 1/8th Cherokee descent, I honor my ancestors' history, but I do not believe today’s taxpayers should be held liable for the sins of the past. True justice is found in equal opportunity and individual merit, not in government-mandated wealth redistribution based on heritage. We must focus on building a prosperous future for all West Virginians, regardless of their background.
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
We must protect the integrity of women’s sports and the safety of their private spaces. Biological reality matters. Allowing biological males into women’s locker rooms, shelters, or sports undermines decades of progress in female empowerment and compromises basic privacy and fairness. I will always stand up for the rights of women and girls to have their own safe, exclusive spaces. Common sense must prevail over ideology.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Strongly Disagree
I strongly disagree with the alarmist push for radical "climate action." The climate has been changing since long before humans existed, and we must not destroy our economy over natural cycles. I refuse to sacrifice West Virginia’s energy jobs to globalist mandates. We should focus on practical stewardship and American energy independence, not top-down government control that punishes hardworking families for a changing world.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
I believe nuclear power is the undisputed champion of energy. It is the most reliable, high-output source capable of meeting our skyrocketing electricity demands 24/7, regardless of weather. Unlike intermittent wind or solar, nuclear provides the "ba
