OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE*

*Additional information was received after the evaluation was assigned and was not considered in the Panel Evaluations, therefore it is for additional educational purposes only.
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.

Agree

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

I believe that abortion 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.

Agree

What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?

I will have to wait until I see the next budget. There is no silver bullet in the budget, every part of government will most likely need to take a little bit of a cut do to the downturn in the economy because of COVID.


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?

It means that the government can't establish a "government church" and in anyway control church doctrine or how they run themselves.


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?

The Federal Government needs to take a new look at healthcare coverage and allow healthcare insurance more access across state lines. One option that would help us on the state level is giving more flexibility with our Medicaid System through a block grant to the state.


NATIONAL SECURITY

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

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.

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?

Anyone willing to go through the proper & legal channels.


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.

Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a Born Again Evangelical Christian.


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?

Conservative

Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.

My voting record over the last 10 years in office.

What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?

I'm a 3rd generation farmer/rancher and I have been a business owner of two different types of companies, Internet Provider and Gas and Service Station. I also now have 10 years of experience in the Kansas House and have served or Chaired a variety of committees.

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?

It is an honor to serve my neighbor and friends in the 116th District and look forward to the next two years. Thank You.


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.

Agree


2ND AMENDMENT

Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?

Yes

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

I feel the necessary laws are in place. No more are needed that I can see.


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 do not author many bills, but I do sometimes sign on as a co-sponsor. This coming session, the most important bill we need to pass in Kansas is the Value Them Both Amendment, reversing the Kansas Supreme Court's ruling of guaranteed right of abortion in the Constitution.

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

Racism has been around for thousands of years and I do believe that some in the US and Kansas are racist, but certainly not the majority. Racism is not a threat to domestic security, cities not stopping the violence and rioting is the threat.
