OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

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

Disagree

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

Strongly Disagree

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Those determined as appropriate between a female and her physician.


ECONOMY

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

Strongly Agree

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?

The Texas Constitution requires a balanced budget; I would increase sources of revenue for the State, rather than cut services.


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.

Disagree

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 Disagree

Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.

No Answer

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?

A society in which people are able to worship freely, so long as their faith and practices do not interfere with the freedom of others.

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

Strongly Agree

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

Expanding Medicaid.


NATIONAL SECURITY

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

Strongly Disagree


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.

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.

Strongly Disagree

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

Any individual seeking to work, or study, in a manner which enhances our community and economy should be allowed to immigrate to the United States.


EDUCATION

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Strongly Agree


VALUES

Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.

No Answer

I support adding sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression as protected classes in non-discrimination laws.

Strongly Agree

Promotion of the LGBT agenda in public schools, including teaching of “sexual orientation” and “gender identity”, is completely inappropriate and should be opposed at the state and local level.

Strongly Disagree

I support allowing public high school students to participate in athletic competition based on the gender with which they identify instead of biological sex.

No Answer

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

Agnostic.


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?

Very Liberal

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

I support and have spoken on the record to end 287g and get ICE out of Tarrant County.

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

My diverse experience as a teacher, and nonprofit executive, in addition to serving on the board of several nonprofit corporations.

Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.

I have no convictions for any crimes, including misdemeanors.

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

I enjoy finding avenues to promote adoption services, including housing, education, and employment resources to provide alternatives to those who may seek abortion services and promote faith based partnerships, as well as government funded partnerships, but ultimately respect that for females, their right to make informed decisions about their healthcare, is a matter for their physician, and is private. I'm gay, and promote sex-positive education services, LGBTQIA+ services and mental health, physical health, and sexual wellness.

OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Agree

I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.
