QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.
Did not answer
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds or grants from federal, state, or local governments.
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.
No Answer
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
if there is a “serious health risk” to the mother, with exceptions for rape and incest
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.
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.
Neutral
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
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?
I believe that religion is a matter "which lies soley between Man & his/her God", and an individuals faith answers to nobody but his/her God. The separation of Church and state clearly states a legislature shall "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof".
NATIONAL SECURITY
The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.
Strongly Agree
HEALTHCARE
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.
Strongly Disagree
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
Partnerships with community members such as the tribal nations, and training programs for doctors to enter into the rural areas. Will help increase the rural healthcare systems.
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?
Oklahoma must look to the future to invest and develop new industries that can help bring in new jobs and revenue that allow for Oklahoman's to prosper.
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.
Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Legal immigration is an integral part of America’s success. These individuals provide new skills, ideas, and contributions to the economy. They work hard to earn their chance at a better life. And for many immigrants, America is the greatest home they will ever know. With the knowledge of legal immigration being a backbone to our country and a benefit to our people, illegal immigration must be stopped. Those experiencing cases of political ,ethnic, or religious persecution should be given priority. We should be preventing issuing of stay for illegal immigrants and strictly enforcing border security.
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.
Disagree
2ND AMENDMENT
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
Yes
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
None.
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Disagree
I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.
Agree
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?
Infrastructure projects: For the last year and a half I have been working to bring high speed broadband to our rural districts and shrinking the digital divide for our people. Privacy Rights: Americans have an expectation of privacy, this last year and into the next session I will be working to protect the privacy of our people. Economic development: For our rural communities to prosper we must invest in incubation chambers and place building for our newest entrepreneurs to revitalize our decaying rural communities, so that future generations may prosper.
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
The biggest threat to domestic security is division of Americans on preconceived lines. We have always been the melting pot of the world, where multiple cultures and people can join together in solidarity as Americans. The process of separating Americans by race/creed/color, causes division and destruction.
JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY
I support the use of Sharia law as a basis for legislation and judicial decisions in the United States.
Strongly Disagree
