OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

I am 100% pro-life and I support Governor Youngkin's bill that would ban abortions after 15 weeks.

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


ECONOMY

What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?

Virginia needs to lower the individual and business tax rates and increase standard deductions to help make living in Virginia more affordable. When I was in the legislature, I never voted for any tax or fee increase, and my pledge to the residents of Chesterfield and Colonial Heights is that I never will.

What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?

Did not answer


iVoterGuide Notes:

Candidate notified iVoterGuide.com that his answer should have been, "We have to balance the budget regardless in Virginia." 

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Strongly Agree


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

Strongly Disagree

Under what circumstances can government close churches?

None


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)Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded.

C

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

None


NATIONAL SECURITY

What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?

This is dealt with at the federal level, not the state level.

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.

Choose not to answer


iVoterGuide Notes:

Candidate notified iVoterGuide.com that his answer should have been, "Do not support the boycott."


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?

Did not answer


EDUCATION

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

Strongly Agree

I will be introducing Education Savings Account legislation that Lt. Governor Winsome Sears championed last year. Virginia families need more educational choices for their children. Education is not a one size fits all issue. All children are unique and have different needs when it comes to education, and it is our job to support them. As Sears says, "Education is the great equalizer", and all children should be able to reach their full potential.


VALUES

Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.

Strongly Agree

I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.

Strongly Disagree

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

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am Catholic and live the values of my faith daily. I attend St. Bridget Catholic Church with my family every week. I believe my faith helps lead my decisions as a legislator.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?

We need to go back to the voting practices we had in place pre-pandemic before there was a democrat trifecta in Virginia. Some of these laws would include repealing same day voter registration, repealing no excuse absentee voting, getting rid of the drop boxes, and reinstating a photo id to vote.


EQUALITY

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

Strongly Disagree

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?

No one should be instructed to feel as if they are not equal or shamed because of their race. We should not seek to divide Americans, rather than unite them. I do not believe racism is a threat to domestic security in the US in 2023, every person is created equal and entitled to their dignity as an individual. . All Americans are afforded equal opportunities to find success and fulfillment.

Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.

Strongly Disagree


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

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

I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.

Strongly Agree

Did not answer

What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?

CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.

Strongly Agree

Bad cops should be held accountable for their actions which they are.

I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.

Strongly Disagree


2ND AMENDMENT

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

Shall not be infringed means shall not be infringed. I support the 2nd Amendment 100%.

Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
