QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

It should never be allowed.

Chemical abortion drugs should meet essential safety standards (such as in-person consultation with a medical doctor) and require reporting to gather evidence on reactions and outcomes.

Strongly Agree

Chemical abortion drugs should never be used.

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

Strongly Agree

I sponsored and passed HB 2634 to ban taxpayer funding of abortion facilities in Missouri.

I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.

Strongly Disagree


ECONOMY

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

Strongly Agree

What is your position on the minimum wage?

I want wages to increase and the best way to accomplish this is with a thriving economy and a reversal of Bidenomics. Arbitrary wage mandates not based on economic realities will worsen inflation, raise prices for Missouri families and kill jobs.

Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?

No


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Under what circumstances can government close churches?

Never.

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Strongly Disagree


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 option. (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 no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. D) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.

Of these options, C most closely matches my view, though we should focus on creating a path out of relying on Medicaid and Medicare. The government should not be involved in providing "healthcare" to mass amounts of people.

Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?

I’m opposed because government lost all credibility on this issue when they chose power and control over facts and science in their response to COVID-19.


NATIONAL SECURITY

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.

Strongly Agree

Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?

Yes. It is important to support our strongest ally in the region and to support their right to defend their existence.


IMMIGRATION

The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.

Strongly Agree

We should fully support the Border Patrol, deploy troops to secure the southern border, and deport all illegal immigrants.


EDUCATION

The state should fund education by allowing dollars to follow the child through programs which protect parents' freedom to choose their child's school – public, private, or homeschool.

Strongly Agree


VALUES

Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.

Strongly Agree

Parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.

Strongly Agree

Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.

Strongly Disagree

Never.

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

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

As a lifelong Christian and practicing Catholic, I am guided by Judeo-Christian morals and values.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.

Strongly Disagree


EQUALITY

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

No, it is not. Racism reflects a spiritual sickness, and we must be spiritually renewed in order to bring more healing to our nation.

I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.

Strongly Disagree

Biological males should not be allowed to participate in women's sports or occupy biological women's spaces whether it be bathrooms, locker rooms, sorority houses, women's shelters, or prison.

Strongly Agree


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Which comes closest to your view? (Select all that apply) A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost. C) Stricter environmental laws undermine U.S. energy independence and deter development of reliable electricity sources. D) Climate change is real and requires urgent policy action.

A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. The best way to solve environmental problems is through innovation. Those who pollute or harm others should be held accountable, and it is not necessary or right to regulate our intrepid engery workers out of their job to enrich favored corporations and global NGOs.

What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?

The free market, not government, should decide. We need to reverse all of Biden’s energy policies that took away our energy independence and led us to being dependent on foreign sources for energy.


ABOUT YOU

Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.

No.

Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.

No.

What do you think is the general purpose of government?

The general purpose of government is to secure and protect the rights of the individual. To that end, our Founding Fathers established the Constitution of the United States of America, to secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity.

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


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.

Strongly Disagree


2ND AMENDMENT

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

None

Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?

Yes
