QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.

Neutral

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.

Any nonessential spending.


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.

Governments should define marriage as between one man and one woman; no other definition of marriage should be legalized or supported with taxpayer or public funds.

Strongly Disagree

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

Neutral

I promise to protect the freedom of Christians to share the Gospel and to practice Biblical principles.

Yes

No laws or practices should exist in government to promote or denounce religious practices unless they are harmful to others.

How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?

I promote a transparent and consumer driven affordable healthcare coverage that is accessible to all.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

Threat others the way you would want to be treated. Peace above violence. Give more than you receive.


ABOUT YOU

When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and immigration, which of the following best describes you overall?

Moderate

Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.

People say I am conservative on some issues and liberal on others. I believe I am libertarian on all issues. “Libertarian” was not an option, so I chose “Moderate”. As a board member of the Ormond Beach Budget Advisory Board, I have a fiscally libertarian voting record that is available for public view.

What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?

Ive read the Constitution and will uphold the Oath of Office. I’ve lived in Florida for nearly 40 years.

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

No.

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?

I am a Libertarian. If you don’t like the way government is or has been run, vote for me. Otherwise, if you love your government, vote the same. LP.org to learn more.


JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY

I support the use of Sharia law as a basis for legislation and judicial decisions in the United States.

I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.

The Electoral College should be abolished.

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

No. Simply being a racist is not a threat to domestic security. Performing or threatening a violent act on someone due to racism is a threat to domestic security.
