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
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?
No Circumstances. I am 100% Pro-Life.
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
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
As a financial advisor, I know firsthand how to balance budgets. I will be your watchdog in Tallahassee to protect your hard earned tax dollars and look for wasteful spending. I will make necessary cuts to balance the budget.
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.

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.

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.

HEALTHCARE
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.
Strongly Disagree
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
Our current healthcare system is broken. Jonathan opposes a government takeover of our healthcare system. Jonathan will work to make our healthcare more affordable by increasing available options and lowering the cost of prescription drugs. This will provide a way to ensure affordable, transparent and effective healthcare for all Floridians – we will measure our success based on patient outcomes.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.
Strongly 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.
Strongly Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY
I support the use of Sharia law as a basis for legislation and judicial decisions in the United States.

Strongly Agree
2ND AMENDMENT
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
Yes
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Our Right to Bear Arms is under unprecedented attacks. Democrats and liberal judges have made it clear that they are not interested in honoring our Constitution. As an Endowment Life member of the NRA, Jonathan understands firsthand the importance of our God-given right to protect ourselves, our families, and our community. That is why Jonathan supports open carry, campus carry and constitutional carry, and opposes dangerous gun-free zones.

People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.
Strongly Disagree
The Electoral College should be abolished.

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
I believe that we are all created in God's image. I am a constitutional conservative and I will defend and uphold the Constitution of the United States and of the State of Florida including "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
