QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.
Strongly Agree
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds or grants from federal, state, or local governments.
Strongly Agree
I support the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which requires health care providers to provide life-saving treatment for infants who survive an attempted abortion.
Strongly Agree
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
If it is medically necessary to save the life of the mother.
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
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?
No Government mandate dictating what religion is to be practiced by our citizens.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.
Strongly Agree
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of radical Islamic terrorism?
We must utilize our military and intelligence agencies to detect and eliminate all threats to the United States and to our allies.
HEALTHCARE
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.
Disagree
I support the elimination of private healthcare insurance.
Strongly Disagree
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
In order to preserve Medicaid and Medicare for those who need it the most, including those with per-existing conditions, we must move much of our country's health insurance to private insurers. Having a healthy competition among the private health insurers would then serve to ensure reasonable rates.
ECONOMY
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.
Disagree
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?
By supporting legislation to retain and increase American jobs. By doing so we will continue to have the working generation paying into the system as retirees receive their benefits.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
All areas of our national budget need to be reevaluated to ensure that we are making the best possible financial decisions.
Under what circumstances should taxpayers help pay off existing student loans?
Currently Federal Student Loans can be forgiven under certain circumstances, including military service. This is something that I support.
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
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) should be abolished.
Strongly Disagree
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.
Agree
Employers should be required to use E-verify to confirm the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States.
Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Any person who seeks to make America their home must arrive lawfully, be prepared to embrace our nation as their own, learn our language, abide by our laws and work to become a citizen.
EDUCATION
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Mandatory minimum sentencing should be required and enforced for violent crimes.
Agree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
No law abiding citizen should have restriction on gun ownership. As recent events have shown the public is safer when responsible gun owners are able to intervene as necessary for the protection of others.
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
I support BDS (boycott, divestment, and sanction) against Israel if they refuse to allow the creation of a Palestinian state.
Disagree
I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.
Disagree
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
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?
Constitutional Rights Protections Promotion of American Agriculture & Business Blocking the Carbon Tax and Green New Deal
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Yes. Racism divides our nation thus allowing those who pose a threat to our national security the ability to exploit that divide for their gain.

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