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.
See my voting record.
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?
"Honor, Duty, and Service to God, Family, and Country." This is my family motto, and has guided my decisions and endeavors throughout my life. I am a family man (a father of 6 and a grandfather of 12), a man of God, and I love my country. As a world record holding former Air Force pilot, it was my honor to serve and protect America for 14 years. I continue that service now as a leader on the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, focusing on national security at home and abroad. Similarly, I was one of only 15 members asked to serve on the China Taskforce, analyzing the threats and opportunities regarding China. Because of my strong fiscal conservative interests, I am the only Republican in the House of Representatives to serve on both the Budget and the Appropriations committees. These assignments provide unique opportunities to reduce the size and influence of the federal government, and to reduce federal spending and its dangerous effects.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Mandatory minimum sentencing should be required and enforced for violent crimes.
No Answer
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

Strongly Disagree
I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.
Strongly Disagree
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
The Electoral College should be abolished.
Strongly Disagree

1. Intelligence reform 2. Reducing federal debt 3. Increasing personal liberty.
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
