OTHER INFORMATION
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?
It should not be allowed.
ECONOMY
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.
Strongly Disagree
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
administrative and government overhead cost. Tax credits to corporations.
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
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 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?
Separation of Church and State does not mean you take church out of the state but keep the State out of the Church. A part of our issue is our government has taken church out of our schools and government facilities. The state should have no right to stipulate a church to close even in a pandemic.
HEALTHCARE
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.
Disagree
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
Free market healthcare would be best. My fear is now that healthcare is on the ballot later in the year if we don't come up with a healthcare plan for the under privileged it will be constitutional in Oklahoma and it will take it out of the hands of the legislator.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.
Strongly Agree
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
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.
Strongly Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
All immigrants that go through the proper legal channels to become American Citizens.
EDUCATION
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Disagree
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Strongly Agree
I support adding sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression as protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God. I believe he died on a cross and arose again 3 days later and is now seated at the right hand of God. I believe marriage should be between 1 man and 1 woman. I believe that Life is a gift from God and it should be protected at all cost. I believe a legislator should be a servant to the people in his district.
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?
Very Conservative
Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
My voting record shows I have voted pro gun, pro life and against all bills where the language attempts to add gender protection or gender identity other than male or female. I have voted for taxes only when I felt the people of Oklahoma wanted to exercise their 10th amendment right to support education.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
I have traveled the world with the Marine Corps and on Mission Trips. I have 3 combat tours and understand what Freedom actually means and what the sacrifice for freedom looks like. I have served others most of my life as a youth minister, Marine, Educator and now for four years in the House of Representatives. My greatest joy is helping others. I adopted 2 boys and though I went through a divorce I now get to enjoy time with them. I know what it feels like to have an ex keep your kids away from you for 18 months without a legal order to do so. Because of my experience I understand better the pain of divorce and the separation of kids.
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 servant to Jesus though I am flawed and a sinner. I am a servant to my country and my state.
JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY
I support the use of Sharia law as a basis for legislation and judicial decisions in the United States.
Strongly Disagree
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Mandatory minimum sentencing should be required and enforced for violent crimes.
Strongly Agree
2ND AMENDMENT
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
Yes
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
No restrictions should be applied to gun owners by the 2nd Amendment.
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.
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?
I believe we have too much legislation and there are plenty of laws that need to be repealed. I very rarely run my full allotment of bills. My bills are usually in support of law enforcement and liberty.
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Yes, many have started riots which put our law enforcement and people at risk. I supported a bill called blue lives matter in Oklahoma that required the death penalty if a person who kills a police officer is found guilty.
