OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

Strongly Agree

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Only when the life of the mother is at risk.

Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.

Strongly Agree

The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.

Strongly Agree

The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.

Strongly Agree


ECONOMY

What is your position on the minimum wage?

In a free country one can leave their employer and find another job. Minimum wage laws reduce job opportunities for youth.

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

Strongly Agree

List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.

1) Reduce the size of the bureaucracy. 2) Reform the budget process to zero based budgeting. 3) Reduce and reform entitlement payments and require work for those able. 4) Abolish and reduce duplicate and overlapping programs 5) Eliminate most grant programs


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

It's not in the constitution and only used by Jefferson in a letter saying the state has no business in church affairs.

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Strongly Disagree


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) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.

C) Because taxpayers have paid premiums to fund Medicare they should receive some benefit. Benefits should be limited to those who paid into the system and not given to illegals.

The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.

Strongly Agree


NATIONAL SECURITY

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.

Strongly Agree

Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?

Yes. Israel is a strong partner and the only Democracy in the middle east.


IMMIGRATION

I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.

Strongly Disagree


EDUCATION

I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.

Strongly Agree

Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.

Strongly Agree


VALUES

Government should recognize and support the fundamental right and essential duty of parents to direct their child's health and educational well-being.

Strongly Agree

Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.

Strongly Agree

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

I support the expansion of gambling in my state.

Strongly Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I’ve been a Christian and church attender most of my life, taught children’s Sunday school classes, and team taught Adult Sunday School. I’ve been active in the political world as a faith-based leader, serving as found and Chairman of a Christian Coalition chapter in the late 90s in District 126 and as a 3-term president of Cherry Tree Republican, a conservative faith based Republican Club in HD126, as well. I’ve attended Baptist Churches most of my adult life and I believe the Bible is the holy world of God and I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ who leads me and directs my path.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

I was the Harris County Clerk and Chief Election Official for 8 years. Cheaters want to abolish the Photo ID requirement.


EQUALITY

Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.

Strongly Disagree

Biological males should not be allowed to participate in women's sports or occupy biological women's spaces whether it be bathrooms, locker rooms, sorority houses, women's shelters, or prison.

Strongly Agree


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.

Strongly Disagree

Global warming has been proven to largely be a scam. Follow the money.

What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?

Natural Gas, but solar with sufficient battery backup can work. Without backup power sources, solar is not dependable enough.


ABOUT YOU

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 penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.

No.

Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.

No.


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?

To punish those who have violated the law and to reform those that can be reformed. There should always be penalties for violent offenders. The revolving door of allowing repeat offenders to continue committing crimes must be stopped.

Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.

Strongly Agree

It's primary the responsibility of the parents, but government restriction is very important.

Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.

Strongly Agree

Sharia law is a form of government. We will destroy our country if we we allow sharia law to replace our laws.


2ND AMENDMENT

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

Only restrict gun ownership to those who have committed violent crimes with guns. Law abiding citizens need guns for protection from criminals.
