QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

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

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Life of the mother

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

Strongly Disagree

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

Strongly Agree


ECONOMY

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

Strongly Agree

People who can afford to pay more taxes should do so in order to provide relief for working families.

Strongly Disagree

The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.

Strongly Agree

Stop the theft and use the tariffs to reduce the debt

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

Find the thieves Prosecute the thieves Eliminate non-constitutionally permitted programs Keep government out of business, strategic partnerships and direct subsidies.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

Strongly Disagree

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

The state is to not interfere in the church and there shall be no national church. It does not prohibit the church from being involved in the state. The constitution is written to protect the people and control the power of the state so that the most freedom possible is enjoyed by the people.


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.

We need to increase insurance competition, portability, end pre-existing conditions exclusions, stop medical fraud and support the medical savings account deductibility. Answer C is closest to my position at this time. Once again finding and punishing medical fraud is vitally important.

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

Strongly Disagree

A I poses a serious threat to privacy and the protections of our constitution. The COVID debacle is a prime example of the government wanting to use contact tracers, covid compliers and all sorts of invasions of privacy of the individual.


NATIONAL SECURITY

With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened. B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger. D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.

Item C. Unless we have a direct National interest we should not become entangled in foreign conflicts. There are way to many grifters in the military industrial complex.

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

Agree

It is not just the Chinese, it is all communist, anarchist. The Chinese, however, have the ability to put up a military threat.

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

Yes. They are a good ally.

Islamic terrorism is a threat to the United States' national security.

Strongly Agree

Not just Islamic but Narco's, Communist/Anarchists and all the enemies of our Constitution and Freedoms.


IMMIGRATION

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

People who have some talent or skill to offer and provided they work to become citizens and pledge their allegiance without reservation to our Constitution.

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.

Did not answer


VALUES

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.

Did not answer

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a Christian. I regularly attend Church and Bible Study. We live in a fallen world and but by Faith in Jesus Christ I am saved and otherwise I would be eternally lost.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Disagree


EQUALITY

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

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

Natural Gas Fired High efficiency turbines


ABOUT YOU

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

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?

Conservative

I believe the term conservative is an exact term. You either are or your not. It means to be that you align the Word of God with the Constitution as your guide.


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

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

Strongly Agree

My opponent and his AI Tech Titans have worked to prevent the states from passing and enforcing laws to limit AI/computing power. Their attempts at pre-emption were soundly defeated in the Senate and House and then they compelled the President to sign and executive order. I believe the Executive Order is un-constitutional and not good for the United States of America.


2ND AMENDMENT

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

None. Restrictions on criminals and evil doers are very necessary. People not things are evil and commit crimes.
