QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

Strongly Agree

I passed the bill in Oklahoma to prohibit any Oklahoma government funds (including from universities) from going to planned parenthood.

I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.

Strongly Disagree

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Only to save the life of the mother as that is still protecting life.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.

Strongly Agree

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

Strongly Disagree

What should be the relationship between the church and the state?

The Church should be as involved in government as it wants, the government should have no involvement in the Church.


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.

C. And I would add that Congress has a Constitutional duty to declare war, not just allow for endless conflicts if the US Government is going to commit our troops to fight. However, no troops should be committed unless the US is actually threatened.

I support the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement to pressure Israel to withdraw from occupied territories, remove the separation barrier in the West Bank, allow full equality for Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel, and promote the rights of Palestinian refugees.

Strongly Disagree

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

Strongly Agree

What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?

Stop funding & training jihadists like Bin Laden when he was an asset of the US Government. Take a strong stance like President Trump when he wiped out ISIS.


HEALTHCARE

Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?

Never. It should not be required under any circumstances & I have introduced numerous bills to prohibit it.

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)Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded.

D.


ECONOMY

Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.

Strongly Disagree

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

Strongly Agree

What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?

Eliminate the personal income tax & eliminate the IRS.


IMMIGRATION

The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.

Strongly Agree

State and federal funds shall be denied to any public or private entity, such as a sanctuary city, that is not in compliance with immigration laws.

Strongly Agree

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

The entire immigration policy should be rewritten. No "lottery" allowing randomly selected people. Only those who are in needed fields (such as nurses, doctors, agriculture, technology, etc) should be allowed & only if they have a sponsored employer or family member. Eliminate all welfare. Pause all immigration until a new system is implemented.


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.

Disagree

A department policy could be in violation of the Constitution. No government employee should be immune from violating the Constitution simply because their department has a policy allowing it.

I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.

Strongly Disagree


2ND AMENDMENT

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

None. Shall not be infringed means exactly that. I've passed over a dozen bills expanding gun rights for Oklahomans & debated Piers Morgan live on national tv in defense of the Second Amendment: https://secure.anedot.com/dahmforsenate/piersmorganinterview

Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.

Strongly Disagree

Individuals should be held responsible for their actions, not the seller or manufacturer.


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?

Very Conservative

I'm ranked the most Conservative State Senator in the history of the State of Oklahoma.

Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).

http://ratings.conservative.org/people/a6ab9bdd-5ddd-41e1-b9b2-0ff5a5da9747?year http://www.oklahomaconstitution.com/consenate2021.pdf

Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized in either civil or criminal court for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.

I have not.

What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?

I passed our Constitutional Carry law & passed the first in the nation Anti-Red Flag Law (https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/oklahoma-now-has-the-nations-first-anti-red-flag-law/) Our Governor signed my SB612 into law in April, the strongest pro-life bill in the country (https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/national-international/abortion-now-illegal-in-oklahoma-after-gov-signs-bill/3642735/) SB1226 Is a bill I created & introduced to eliminate birthright citizenship, because that was never the intent of the 14th Amendment. (http://webserver1.lsb.state.ok.us/cf_pdf/2021-22%20INT/SB/SB1226%20INT.PDF) I've repealed over 200 laws & eliminated 2 State Agencies. I've voted against every new tax increase & voted to lower the taxes of Oklahomans numerous times.


VALUES

Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.

Strongly Disagree

Leftist lunacy should not be codified in law.

I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.

Strongly Disagree

I introduced the first bill in Oklahoma to prohibit CRT.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

As a born-again Christian I believe salvation only comes through Jesus Christ. He is the only perfect person, all have sinned, but anyone can come to redemption through Him by accepting and confessing Him as Lord and Savior.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

I believe we should have a national voter ID requirement.

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?

National voter ID requirement. Limitations on who can use absentee voting & for what purpose. Limitations on early voting. Elimination of universal mail-in voting. Prohibition on ballot harvesting. Harsh punishments for violations.


EQUALITY

Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.

Strongly Disagree

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?

It is a threat because Marxists engage in class warfare & because they failed to separate us into classes based on wealth they are trying to separate us based on the color of our skin.


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.

Strongly Agree

Absolutely!

Which comes closest to your view? A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost.

A. I've worked to lessen our regulation burden & cut red tape. Even introducing legislation that for every new regulation, multiple old regulations must be repealed.
