Disagree
I promise to protect the freedom of Christians to share the Gospel and to practice Biblical principles.

Disestablishmentarianism. To me it means, not basing legislation on religious scripts, and politicians, judges, etc. leaving their own religious mandates at the door when performing public duties.

Strongly Agree
I support the elimination of private healthcare insurance.

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am an atheist, formerly raised Roman Catholic. I am disgusted with organized religion and hypocritical members. The Catholic Church is full of sex scandals that I refuse to be associated with.

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?
Somewhat Liberal
Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
I am a leftist in that I favor people over corporations and workers' rights over CEO billionaires. I am antiestablishment because the establishment is a cesspool of corruption, and we need to evolve as a society away from materialism and violence.
Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.
My criminal record is clean, as well as my driving record.
Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
I am a firm believer in getting corporate influence out of politics, which is why I refuse all corporate donations, PAC money and SuperPAC money. It's the only way to be able to truly represent people instead of the corporatocracy.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Mandatory minimum sentencing should be required and enforced for violent crimes.
Agree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Violent criminals should not be allowed gun ownership. Annual training and certification for each level of weaponry, similar to military protocol.

Agree
I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.
Strongly Agree
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Neutral
The Electoral College should be abolished.
Disagree
In priority order, what three areas of legislation do you propose to author or sponsor if elected?
Guaranteed healthcare and education by expanding the G.I. Bill to include everyone with optional community service instead of military servitude. Retroactive Cannabis Legalization and repeal/replace the Controlled Substances Act. End the failed War on Drugs. End private, profit-driven prison industry. Immediate Noninterventionist Pro-Peace foreign policy. Ceasefire. Bring our troops home and reappropriate spending back to reasonable and sustainable levels. No more weapons exports to other countries.
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Racism is a threat to domestic security because the effects of it can include widespread unrest and violence. Things escalate unnecessarily when racism is involved.
