OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Never. In every case, attempts should be made to save every life (both mother and child).

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

Strongly Agree

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

Strongly Disagree


ECONOMY

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

Institute a flat rate on personal income above the level required for autonomous consumption. Lower or abolish taxes on wealth.

What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?

Where possible, eliminate income redistribution schemes.

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Strongly Disagree


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

Strongly Disagree

Under what circumstances can government close churches?

Never, never, never!


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

Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. Eligibility of Medicaid should be reformed.

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

Public entities like governments and schools should never be allowed to require vaccinations. There may be instances in which a private (not public) employer would have the right to do so.


NATIONAL SECURITY

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

Certain, swift enforcement of death penalty on any who are engaged in terrorist activity that claims or maims a life.

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


IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Agree

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

Individuals who bring needed talents and skills to the U.S. workforce should be allowed legal immigration. Sen Tom Cotton has authorized excellent legislation to achieve this. Congress needs to act.


EDUCATION

I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.

Strongly Agree

I prefer tax credits over vouchers.


VALUES

Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.

Strongly Agree

I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.

Strongly Disagree

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

Strongly Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a Christian with a high-view of scripture.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?

Require voter photo identification. Also, bring back paper ballots so that a paper trail is always in place. Restrict on-site voting to one day and the Saturday before. Require that absentee voters apply for ballots and only under certain well-define circumstances.


EQUALITY

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

No

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

Strongly Disagree

Children are not to pay for the sins of their father (Ezekiel 18:19-20; Jeremiah 31:29-30). These policies simply pit some Americans against other Americans. Enough of these evil schemes! It's time for all Americans to treated equally by our government authorities.


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

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.

Stricter laws cost too many jobs. Much of this ESG stuff is currently killing the American economy

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

Strongly Agree


ABOUT YOU

What do you think is the general purpose of government?

To ensure that the fundamental rights of citizens are protected from threats, both foreign and domestic.

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

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

No

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

I will defend the Constitution. I believe in limited government and personal freedom.


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

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

Strongly Agree

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?

I basically advocate for the provisions of the National Firearms Act of 1934. I strongly believe in the Second Amendment, and, consistent with the Heller Decision of the U.S. Supreme Court, believe that the right to gun ownership is an individual right.

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

Strongly Disagree
