OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE*
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Life begins at conception and I will stand for all life, especially those without a voice.
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
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
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
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, we should maintain relationships with our allies.
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.
Our seniors planned and rely upon Medicaid and Medicare and so do our most vulnerable. I do not think you can defund this without adding to more issues for Americans. It is time we put America first.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Never, people should have the right to choose what vaccinations they take and when.
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?
Market conditions will continue to drive wages, and we should allow that to continue.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Texas has 1200 miles of border with Mexico, we have only secured about 150 miles of that space. Texas spend only 5% of the surplus to do anything about the border and that took a record breaking 5 sessions in one year.
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
We could also create a second homestead exemption for all that do not have children in public schools to give them a tax break for Seniors as well as parents without children going to public schools.
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, and we need to remove the Red Flag laws that got passed in Texas.
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
Yes
My great grandparents taught in Fort Bend County, my mom is a retired school teacher from Fort Bend County and my sister is a school teacher.
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 serve the people, we must have servant leaders that do the will of the people and not that of the swamp.
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
I want you to send me to Austin to fight to protect your rights and freedoms not to reduce them.
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 would have never voted to allow Tax dollars to be used to socially transition children. See HD 1898 Tinderholt amendment dated 4-18-2023. See here https://houseofbadcards.com/ding.php?id=4&1=8035
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
We should never fund this with tax dollars.
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.
Christian Conservative
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
Fort Bend county has voters on the rolls that died over a decade ago.
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 to domestic security.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
CRT should not be taught in any schools funded by taxpayers, including those of higher education.
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. We used to be an energy exporter now Texas runs out of power during cold weather. We cannot let that happen again to the energy capital of the world.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Oil, Gas & Nuclear.
