OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.

Agree

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

Strongly Agree

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Ideally there would not be a need for abortion. However, here in reality, situations arise where a woman should not be prevented from having a safe medical environment to have an abortion. Rape, incest, and situations where the mother's health/life is in danger come to mind.


ECONOMY

It is the government’s responsibility to be sure everyone has a livable income.

Disagree

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

Strongly Agree

Congress should pass a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution.

Strongly Agree

Socialism provides a robust foundation for a stable economy.

Strongly Disagree

What is the best way to bring down unemployment?

Buy American and support your local businesses.

What role should government play in boosting the economy?

The only role government should play in boosting the economy is by setting policies that create an environment where businesses can take calculated risk with uniform protections and succeed or fail based on their own business model and performance.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Governments should not discriminate against individuals, organizations or business owners because of their deeply held religious beliefs.

Neutral

Governments should not penalize those who 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


HEALTHCARE

It is the government’s responsibility to be sure everyone has health insurance.

Strongly Disagree

How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?

I would look for people who have spent their lives trying to solve this exact problem and promote and support legislation that implements practices that have demonstrated effectiveness in similar situations as ours.


NATIONAL SECURITY

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.

Agree

I support sanctuary cities.

Strongly Disagree

Islamic law (Sharia) should take precedence over national and state laws where there are Islamic majority communities in the U. S.

Strongly Disagree

The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.

Strongly Agree


EDUCATION

Tuition-free public education should be guaranteed through college.

Disagree


VALUES

Biblical values established a framework of morality which permitted our system of limited government.

Strongly Agree

Any teaching to children on sex education in public schools must include all contraceptive methods, and should not show preference to abstinence.

Disagree

People should be allowed to use public restrooms, showers, and changing rooms based on "gender identity."

Strongly Disagree

Free speech is under attack on public university and college campuses.

Strongly Agree

Parents should be the primary authority in decisions affecting their minor children.

Strongly Agree

What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?

The fallen state of man in his individual capacity.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I owe it ALL to JESUS CHRIST. Follow the Golden Rule.

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?

I am going to bring common sense along with my book sense to Jackson, MS. I do not come from a long line of politicians. Most the men in my family, excluding me, have been U.S. Navy Sailors. My Grandfather was a Navy Sea Bee and they have a saying "The difficult we do today, the impossible takes a little longer." I am just a man trying to make a difference. If y'all are satisfied with the results we have here in the Mississippi Delta then you should probably vote for my opponent; but, if you are like me and tired of being the last of the last then I'm your chance to shake it up. VOTE B.C. NOV 5, 2019!


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

I support the death penalty.

Agree

Mandatory minimum sentencing should be required and enforced for violent crimes.

Agree


2ND AMENDMENT

More restrictive gun control is needed to protect public safety.

Strongly Disagree


OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree
