OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Life begins at conception. Therefore, elective abortion 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

These types of drugs shouldn't be used for anything other than the removal of babies who have already died in the womb. They should NOT be allowed to be used to kill unborn children.

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

Strongly Agree

I have cosponsored legislation to keep tax dollars from going to abortion providers.

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?

Minimum wage laws are government overreach.

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?

None whatsoever.

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.

C. But medicaid needs to be tightened up to ensure only those who need it get it, and those who are able bodied go to work.

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

Under no circumstances.


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! Israel is our strongest ally in the Middle East and God's chosen people. From both a secular, and spiritual perspective, I support Israel.


IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Agree

I sponsored legislation know as the Border Security Enhancement Act to protect Missouri from the current invasion of 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

I helped author, and handled in the House, Missouri's SAFE Act. This law is currently protecting children from this kind of abuse.

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

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.

I am a born again Christian. I know that our rights do not come from government, they come from God. As a Pastor I recognize that the battles we face in our state and nation today are not just political but spiritual.


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?

Racism is terrible and should be condemned in the strongest terms, but it is also a word that is used too loosely in modern society. I believe there are many threats to domestic security, including a porous southern border and cyber attacks from China, I do not believe racism is in the same category. It is wrong, and should be condemned, but it is not the threat that the Left makes it out to be.

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 & C

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

The most reliable source for the future is nuclear energy and we should be looking for safe ways to grow its use. However, coal, oil and natural gas are still our tried and true sources for energy and need to continue to be utilized.


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?

To protect and preserve our God given rights.

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?

I am adamantly opposed to anything that would violate our 2nd Amendment rights.

Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?

Yes
