OTHER INFORMATION
Candidate responded to iVoterGuide's Questionnaire in 2022.
Voted Yes for House Roll Call Vote 1337 pro-life 2016 which was the final concurrence vote in the Indiana House on a pro-life bill from this session that banned abortion because of race, gender or disability and also mandated that abortion clinics must dispose of aborted babies through a relationship with a funeral home via either burial or cremation. Currently they are allowed to treat aborted baby bodies as "medical waste". Voted No for House Roll Call Vote HJR 3 to remove 2nd sentence of the Marriage Amendment 2014 which defined marriage as between one man and one woman. HJR 3 stripped the Marriage Amendment of its second sentence, which essentially killed the constitutional process. Voted No for SB 20 sexual orientation 2016 which is an amendment to a bill in the Indiana House that would have added special protections for "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" into state law.
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?
Under no circumstances. Even when an emergency surgery or a premature labor induction may be necessary to preserve a mother's life, every effort should be made to preserve the child's life also.
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
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Indiana's budget is balanced. If it were not, I would support across the board cuts to balance the budget.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
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
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?
The state has no authority to intervene in church matters or matters of religious conscience. Religious liberty is guaranteed.
HEALTHCARE
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.
Disagree
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
Did not answer
NATIONAL SECURITY
The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.
Agree
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.
Strongly Agree
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.
Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Contributing individuals and families of character and integrity who are committed to the free principles of the U.S. Constitution and who will not be a burden to society. They should enter legally and at a pace that allows full assimilation into local communities.
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality that is necessary for our system of limited government.
Strongly 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.
God is the Creator of the Universe as described in the Bible, God's inspired and inerrant Word. Mankind is fallen and sinful, fully deserving of God's righteous wrath. But God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son. Christ Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day. Whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. All who are in Christ are new creations. Old things are passed away. All things are become new. Walking in the Spirit, believers will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. Jesus Christ will return. Believers will be raised from the dead and caught up to meet him in the air. Christ will reign. There will be a new heavens and a new earth.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
The Electoral College should be abolished.
Strongly Disagree
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Yes. Racism violates the truth that all men are created equally in the image of God, and evokes hatred toward others based on superficial traits such as skin color or ethnic origin. Hatred has been prevalent throughout all history, and remains so throughout the world today. Allowing racism to flourish in any community, either against a minority or majority population, is a great threat to domestic tranquility and security.
