OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Where it threatens the life of the mother.
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?
Taxes should be reduced to the fullest extent possible.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
We must begin with eliminating waste.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Disagree
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?
I have litigated this issue in several cases during the pandemic, and in some instances all the way to the Supreme Court. Simply claiming an emergency is insufficient, and it must be validated emphatically; which was not done in pandemic, in which the original strain had a secondary attack rate of less than five percent, about your chance of acceptance at Harvard. And where there is a validated emergency, the restrictions must be reasonably calculated to mitigate or prevent the harm and must use the least restrictive means.
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.
Again, I have litigated this issue in pandemic, and there must be a validated emergency, which COVID-19 did not present, and the vaccines would have to be reasonably calculated to prevent or mitigate the harm, which the COVID-19 countermeasures, as described in the Emergency Use Authorization, were not, having been developed with no official knowledge of infectious dose, which is required to ascertain immunogenicity in correlates of protection, measured in serological titers. However, exemptions for religious and medical reasons should be available.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Same as above.
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Terrorism, like any threat, requires a clear threat picture, developed through intelligence, to identify targets and thwart terrorist activities.
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.
Disagree
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?
Persons without a violent criminal record or terrorist history, persons seeking asylum from totalitarian regimes, and persons who have substantively assisted the military in addressing foreign threats.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
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.
Evangelical Christian and Southern Baptist.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Reduce the extended voting period, eliminate no excuse absentee voting, and eliminate rank choice voting.
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?
To the extent that race is used as a political dividing force, it threatens national security, such as the renaming of military bases that most soldiers probably had no idea had any connection to the Civil War, while shaming the heritage of the majority of our military, which is a family business.
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
ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
The Preamble, as Justice Harlan stated in Jacobson v. Massachusetts, details the general purpose of our government.
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?
Very Conservative

Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized in either civil or criminal court for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.
No
What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
I docketed a half dozen cases for certiorari at the Supreme Court during the pandemic, bringing the first challenges against the lockdowns, the masks and vaccines. I brought the first cases under the FACE Act provisions protecting places of worship, intervened to assist the SEALs fight the vaccines mandates, got the Veterans Administration to end their mask mandate, and brought the first cases to convene a grand jury investigation regarding the government response to the pandemic.
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
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?
I support the unabridged right to bear arms.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
