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?
Life begins at conception with no exceptions.
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?
Did not answer
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
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?
There is no separation of church and state. The Constitution gives us the right to worship without government interference. There should be no state run church.
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?
Increase competition among providers. Price transparency on services being rendered. Education of the patient to help them understand the financial implications when making decisions about their healthcare. Allow more professionals to provide services as defined in their scope of practice.
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?
Only those people who have entered our country through the proper legal channels and processes.
EDUCATION
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which 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.
I believe that man was separated from God through sin. He sent his son Jesus to die and become a sacrifice for me. The bible is God's infallible word to man and a guide for how we should live a life that pleases God and how to treat others.
ABOUT YOU
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.
Public records of Marion County, Florida where I served as a County Commissioner for twelve years. The Florida House of Representatives daily journal.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
I am a father, grandfather and own my own business. I have served in both local government and the state legislature. My life experiences coupled with my elected positions gives me a unique perspective when making decisions.
Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.
No
Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
I have a proven conservative voting record during my time serving in local government and at the state level. I have consistently represented the views of my constituents in House District 23 and will continue to do so if I am re elected.
JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY
I support the use of Sharia law as a basis for legislation and judicial decisions in the United States.
Strongly Disagree
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Mandatory minimum sentencing should be required and enforced for violent crimes.
Strongly Agree

Strongly Disagree
The Electoral College should be abolished.
Strongly Disagree
In priority order, what three areas of legislation do you propose to author or sponsor if elected?
During my first two sessions as a member of the Florida House of Representatives I have introduced and supported legislation that would create more school choice options, property rights and small business protections from frivolous lawsuits. I will continue to author and sponsor bills in these categories.
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Racism is completely unacceptable. It must not be tolerated. That said, the current narrative is a national racism issue that threatens domestic security. It is false. It is made up by the mainstream American media intended to divide this country and fan the flames of partisan politics.
