OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
When mother's life is at risk. rape cases, incest.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
Taxpayers should not pay to take a life.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
Assisting with or aiding in these cases is equivalent with murder.
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
IRS. should be revised and there should be a flat tax when buying new goods, and not a tax on wages. State income tax/ capital gains should be abolished.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Get rid of the unnecessary / pet projects, cut the pork like the in the transportation bill , the free bikes where they are abandoned or vandalized, or electrifying ferry which is not only unnecessary, but very expensive.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree
More governmental involvement in our schools and education means increase spending , government in charge of our kids, parents with little or no input in school curriculum, lower quality of education overall.. Take a good look at our education right now.
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?
Government should not have the power to close churches at any time, no matter the circumstances.- freedom of religion. Government should serve people not control people.
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.
C)
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Under NO circumstances, government, schools, or any employer should require to put something in one's body without that person's consent. People should have a choice, no matter what, otherwise they are only subjects.
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Not meddle in other counties business. The Constitution states that Government should stay away from foreign entanglements.
iVoterGuide Notes:
After candidate evaluations were completed the candidate requested that this statement be corrected to read "countries" not "counties".
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.
Neutral
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Yes, build the wall. Houses have fences for a reason, every country has defined and secured borders, why shouldn't we? Also, enforce immigration laws.
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Should be programs with specific numbers, based on merits, for those who want to work really hard and bring benefits to this country, also, political refugees.. Those who come here should abide to the laws of the land, and should learn the English language.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
Public schools are a failure, Parents should be in charge of the education of their children and they should have a choice on what kind of schools are fit for them, school of choice, where money follows the child.
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Strongly Agree
Go back to our very foundation on what this country was built on.
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
CRT is nothing else than bringing back discrimination in our schools.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a Christian that values the sanctity of life, believe in the God's order of things, and if you work hard, you can achieve everything, as long as the government is not intruding in our lives.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
Voting is sacred, and even if one vote is stolen, there is no more trust. I came from a country where voting was just an imitation, a joke. If we need ID to buy alcohol, than so much more we need it to vote.
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Vote in person, one day to vote that should be a holyday, with a photo ID in hand, and ballots that could be counted by verified and calibrated machines and software, and also manually under supervision from all parties.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
No, it's a fabrication for political purposes in order to create division.
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
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.
A)
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?
Government is there to serve the people, not to be in charge of them, it's for the people, by the people, and should be the guardian of our Constitution, not its enemy.

What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
My priorities would be to restore our basic Constitutional rights, like freedom of speech, religious freedoms, Second Amendment, parental rights, medical rights, reduce bureaucracy and government spending.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Agree

Strongly Disagree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
"...the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed". Guns don't kill people, people kill people.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.

If a car kills a person, is the manufacturer sued?
