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

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Only when the life of the mother is threatened


ECONOMY

It is the government’s responsibility to be sure 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

The state constitution should limit the growth of spending to the rate of population growth plus the rate of inflation.

Strongly Agree

Congress should pass a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution.

Strongly Agree

What is the best way to bring down unemployment?

I think we've seen it since President Trump took office. The best way to bring down unemployment is to cut overburdensome regulations on small businesses, which then allows them to go out and hire more employees.

What role should government play in boosting the economy?

Cut overburdensome regulations


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

Governments should define marriage as between one man and one woman; no other definition of marriage should be legalized or supported with taxpayer or public funds.

Strongly Agree

Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.

Strongly Agree


HEALTHCARE

It is the government’s responsibility to be sure everyone has health insurance.

Strongly Disagree

How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?

Allowing insurance coverage to be sold over state lines would increase competition among insurance carriers and would provide more choices for citizens to choose the healthcare plan right for them.


NATIONAL SECURITY

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.

Strongly Agree

Islamic law (Sharia) should take precedence over national and state laws where there are Islamic majority communities in the U. S.

Strongly Disagree

I support sanctuary cities.

Strongly Disagree

The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.

Strongly Agree


EDUCATION

Tuition-free public education should be guaranteed through college.

Strongly Disagree


VALUES

Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which permitted our system of limited government.

Strongly Agree

Any teaching to children on sex education in public schools must include all contraceptive methods, and should not show preference to abstinence.

Did not answer

People should be allowed to use public restrooms, showers, and changing rooms based on "gender identity."

Strongly Disagree

Parents should be the primary authority in decisions affecting their minor children.

Strongly Agree

What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?

Centralized power in one entity or branch of government leads to abuse, and the separation of powers designed by our Founding Fathers is both wise and necessary.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a Christian. I believe that we as humans are imperfect, and that God sent his perfect son, Jesus Christ, in the form of a man to die for our sins on the cross. Without accepting Jesus into our hearts, we cannot be reunited with God in heaven.


ABOUT YOU

I support using a party caucus to nominate my party's candidate for Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives, and I pledge to vote for my party's nominee.

Yes

I voted in these primaries and general elections:

2010 General Election, 2010 Republican Primary, 2012 General Election, 2012 Republican Primary, 2014 General Election, 2014 Republican Primary, 2016 General Election, 2016 Republican Primary

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?

Very Conservative

Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.

My conservative record speaks for itself to the voters. My record shows that I voted to defund Planned Parenthood in Texas. My record shows voters that I voted to ban Sanctuary Cities. Voters don't need to wonder if I'm a conservative who really works to cut taxes, I voted to eliminate the Franchise Tax during my time in Austin. As a member of the Homeland Security and Public Safety Committee I worked hard to ensure security along our border while we wait for the Federal Government to do its job.

What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?

I've served my community as a city councilman and now as a State Representative since 2011. I am passionate about serving my community and look forward to continuing to voice their concerns in the 86th Legislative Session.
