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?

I believe the current law on the books in Texas regarding abortion are adequate.

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?

A government-mandated minimum wage interferes with the free market, reduces entry-level job opportunities, and hurts small businesses that operate on thin margins. Wages should be determined by businesses and workers themselves, not politicians.

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.

Strengthen agency audits and Sunset reviews Use zero-based or outcome-based budgeting Cut administrative overhead and management layers Eliminate redundant programs and unnecessary regulations


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

I do not believe in the separation of church and state. The intent that I subscribe to was the separation of government into our church, not the other way around.

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

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

Strongly Disagree


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. It is our greatest ally in the region who shares our western civilization values. A strong Israel is critical for our nation security interests as well.


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 am a practicing Catholic and have been my entire life. I attend Mass at Good Shepherd Catholic Community. My faith guides me as a public servant.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree


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

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

The abundance of Natural Gas in the Permian Basin and Eagle Ford Shale allows for Texas to use its own energy to meet the electric demand of our growing economy and state.


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?

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 hold criminals accountable so that they can’t be an ongoing threat to the rest of society.

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

Strongly Agree

I would also add that parents play a big role in this as well.

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

Strongly Agree

I'm the first mayor in the country to have signed a proclamation reaffirming we only recognize the U.S. constitution. We will also be passing a resolution as a council.


2ND AMENDMENT

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

None whatsoever. Any restriction is a violation of the Second Amendment.
