OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
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?
Murder is murder. I believe there is no compromise for the option of abortion as an excuse to avoid responsibility or to determine the outcome of a newborn's future life.
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
How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?
We need to honor and safeguard all Social Security benefits before cash reserves are expected to be exhausted by the year 2034. In the near future, paying out only what it takes in year-to-year is unacceptable. Funding Social Security has nothing to do with the budget deficit, yet everything to do with mismanagement. We can do better. I will help bring awareness by introducing and/or supporting legislation that would not allow Congress to further borrow cash interest for its everyday expenditures when selling various special-issue bonds. No more borrowing from Social Security interests accumulated from selling these bonds. Instead, we need to reserve all cash interest into the overall Social Security fund.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
I would consider introducing and/or supporting legislation that would not allow illegals to further collect Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and any other welfare benefits. I believe in order to collect benefits you must first be an American citizen. Also we need evaluate all obsolete government programs.
Under what circumstances should taxpayers help pay off existing student loans?
There are no circumstances under which the American taxpayer should be forced to pay off or bail out existing student loans or any other personal debt.
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
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?
That the government cannot exercise its authority in establishing a national religion. This term has been misinterpreted and abused over the years. Our Founding Fathers never meant to separate State and Church, but instead just wanted to make sure that the government does not interfere with religion. Especially that it does not officially establish one particular religion or denomination over another or establish non-religion over religion. Separation of church and state is a well-known phrase. However it is not found in the Constitution of the United States.
HEALTHCARE
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.
Disagree
I support the elimination of private healthcare insurance.
Disagree
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
No one should have to be forced to choose between paying soaring healthcare premiums, increasing prescription drug prices and high co-pays during doctors visits or the basic necessities of life. Every American should have access to quality, affordable healthcare. I will introduce and/or support immediate legislation that will address this issue in a way that favors the patient. I applaud and support the President for his healthcare transparency agenda which mandates that Insurers and Hospitals show real prices to patients and make insurers give patients their "explanation of benefits" upfront starting January 2021.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.
Agree
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of radical Islamic terrorism?
The current administration under President Trump should continue to be vigilant in its approach to eradicate radical Islamic terrorism with the use of all military and intelligence assets, domestically as well as abroad. I stand with Israel according to biblical scripture and support the United States' overall policy in the Middle East. I pledge to continue to strengthen our relationship, protect and promote an unbreakable cord between both Nations. We must continue financial, economic, diplomatic and military aid to secure safety and peace between all Nations in the Middle East.
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
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) should be abolished.
Strongly Disagree
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
Employers should be required to use E-verify to confirm the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States.
Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Let me be clear and make no mistake. I welcome everyone to the United States through the correct and legal process. I applaud and support the President in his efforts to push for an immigration system that is merit based.
EDUCATION
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Agree
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 strong advocate for Christian and traditional family values. I believe in the Holy Trinity of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit as I strive to live by the absolute truth, which is the Word of GOD.
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.
Please visit our official campaign website: www.FCV2020.com
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?
I believe we need leaders in government who live by higher standards. As the next Representative for the people of Texas's 33rd Congressional District, I will live and legislate by two standards; which are the Constitution of the United States and what I believe is the absolute truth, which is the Word of GOD.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Mandatory minimum sentencing should be required and enforced for violent crimes.
Agree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
No other restrictions are needed besides the ones currently in law today.
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
I support BDS (boycott, divestment, and sanction) against Israel if they refuse to allow the creation of a Palestinian state.
Strongly Disagree
I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.
Disagree
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
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?
1.) National ban on abortion. 2.) True comprehensive immigration reform. 3.) Strengthen existing and build new infrastructure.
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Racism in all forms, including antisemitism, is a threat to our domestic security and well-being because it divides us and corrodes the moral fabric of our Nation.
