QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
To Save the life of the mother.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants and Medicaid funding).
Strongly Agree
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
Simplify the tax code to include a uniform tax rate. Drastically reduce the IRS. Continue the elimination of the state income tax. Return a portion of sales taxes collected in MS counties back to the counties.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Reform Medicaid, Snap, Pell Grants, create transparency in medical pricing including procedures and pharmaceuticals which will reduce Medicaid and Medicare costs. Reduce or eliminate certain foreign aid to hostile countries, eliminate certain federal agencies to include the dept of education. Return to Constitutional authority in governing to eliminate social justice programs/ redistribution of wealth.
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 should government close churches?
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 options (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 the government should reform healthcare to maximize private health insurance options; D) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.
C
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
After what I witnessed during Covid, I don’t know that I trust any institution to require a schedule of vaccines. Too many unnecessary vaccines have been required for school attendance , day care and health care. The CDC, FDA, and vaccine manufacturers have lost the trust of the American people, and physicians that wouldn’t go along have been de credentialed in their institutions. I believe in some vaccines, just not the control agenda that’s driving them.
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Secure our borders, enforce immigration law, reform the visa process, more closely scrutinize foreign student university programs, and refugee resettlement programs. Better security at airports both large and small. Do not allow no go zones to exist in the US.
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?
Merit based immigration is a better policy. Refugee resettlement must be reformed. We can’t absorb the costs to house and feed and educate unlimited people coming across the southern border.
EDUCATION
The state should prioritize education funding by allowing dollars to follow the child instead of focusing on programs and administrators.
Strongly Agree
If you support giving parents more educational options, please list all of the following options that apply and in priority order: A) A universal Education Savings Account (ESA) program; B) An ESA program for low-income children only; C) Expanding tax credits for businesses to give to private schools; D) Expanding public charter schools; E) Allowing homeschoolers to take classes at the local public school.
A, E
What most closely matches your view on pornography? A) I agree with the American Library Association that any person of any age should have access to any book; B) Library collections, displays and events should be curated using age-appropriate guidelines, similar to what we do for movies (G, PG, R, etc.); C) Mississippi libraries should follow state laws that prevent pornography from being accessible to minors.
C
VALUES
What most closely matches your view on marriage? A) Anything goes; B) Marriage between one man and one woman should be promoted and encouraged; C) A divorce should be hard to get; D) Marriage is important, but no-fault divorce should be allowed.
B
Judeo-Christian values establish a framework of morality that 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’m a born again believer in Jesus Christ. I follow traditional moral Christian foundations.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What most closely matches your view on ballot measures? A) Ballot measures should be able to amend the constitution with few, if any, restrictions; B) Ballot measures should only be able to propose changes to laws when signatures are collected from people all across the state; C) The current process of allowing the Legislature to propose constitutional amendments will result in the best outcomes.
C
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?
There are much greater threats to domestic security in the US. The false notion of the US being an inherently “ racist” country is being used by the left to try to unravel the country through CRT and DEI.
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
ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
Protect our God given freedoms, our borders, and protect us from our enemies both foreign and domestic. Maintain law and order.
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
Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).
Legislative website provides voting record and proposed legislation, National Fox News interview on the MS Sports fairness act, priests for life award for pro life work, numerous interviews by MS public broadcasting, Family Research Council, Abe Hamilton, Airing the Addisons.
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’m both a social and fiscal conservative. I work to protect the founding principles that our country was built upon. I work against the radical Biden agenda through proposing state legislative actions, including codifying parental rights in education, protecting title IX, reducing foreign ownership of MS lands, elimination of CRT and DEI spending in state agencies, schools, and universities, proposing legitimate competitive academic framework to replace common core framework in k12 schools. I’ve been married for 40 years, and I do this work for our children and grandchildren to protect them from the radical left agenda that threatens our traditional way of life and our constitutional freedoms.
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?
Law abiding citizens should have no restrictions.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
