OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.
Agree
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds or grants from federal, state, or local governments.
Agree
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
If the pregnancy is the result of a rape or incest or to necessary for the life of the mother
ECONOMY
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.
Neutral
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
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?
Separation of Church and State means that the government should not provide any financial support to any religion. During most of America's history, these words were not used interfere with people publicly stating their religious beliefs nor Christmas decorations in public places nor the singing Christmas carols before activism by anti-Christian minorities began to interfere with the public expression of Christianity.
HEALTHCARE
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.
Neutral
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
We should have a medical expenses insurance coverage for those not already covered through their employment not Medicare nor Medicaid.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.
Neutral
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?
I think that immigration should be allowed for the close relatives of American citizens and to bring over people with special educations and skills which cannot found already in our citizen population.
EDUCATION
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Disagree
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Agree
I support adding sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression as protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
Promotion of the LGBT agenda in public schools, including teaching of “sexual orientation” and “gender identity”, is completely inappropriate and should be opposed at the state and local level.
Strongly Agree
I support allowing public high school students to participate in athletic competition based on the gender with which they identify instead of biological sex.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
The New Testament should be our moral guide in life.
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?
Conservative
Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
Did not answer
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
I graduated from the University of Connecticut with High Honors and I was invited to join Phi Beta Kappa based on my academic excellence where I majored in Psychology, Sociology and Anthropology. I worked as eligibility worker for what was called at the time the Texas Department of Public Welfare in the Dallas area. I have also worked in accounting and buying. Since retiring, I have gone to libraries almost daily at times doing research.
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 would like for the voters to read my website and understand the horrors I went through in a probate court. I do not want for this to continue to be possible and for what happened to me to happen to anybody else.
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.
Agree
2ND AMENDMENT
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
Yes
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
I would be opposed to any additional regulations on gun ownership. We have just witnessed an instance where congregants carrying guns defended the congregation against an insane shooter in White Settlement Texas.
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Disagree
I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.
Neutral
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?
I would make it impossible for a judge to overrule a jury. I would take away the Bar Assocition's authority to license and discipline lawyers. Instead we should have a state agency to license and discipline lawyers when necessary instead of having a union of lawyers (the Bar Association is a union of lawyers) doing these matters. As it is now, it like a fox guarding the hen house. I would have merit based admittance to universities and in hiring and promotions. And, would end affirmative action.
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
I do not think racism is a problem in America.
