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.
Strongly Agree
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
There are absolutely no circumstances in which the murder of an innocent child should be allowed. No child should be condemned to death for the actions of their father (such as rape or incest). Abortion is murder and should be treated as such.
ECONOMY
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.
Disagree
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
I would first look to cut the size of the bureaucracy. I’m sure there are many things taxpayers are funding that have no purpose to our state.
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.
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?
Separation of Church and State means that the Government should keep it’s nose out of religious affairs. However, more often than not its been used against Churches standing up for what they believe. I was appalled when Beto O’Rourke said he would take away churches tax exemption and received applause. Aaron Adams will NEVER allow such a blatant abuse of our most sacred right.
HEALTHCARE
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.
Strongly Disagree
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
Affordable Healthcare is an important issue for any family. I believe that there are many Free Market solutions to make healthcare more affordable, such as increasing competition and increased auditing of hospitals and pharmaceutical companies.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.
Strongly 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.
Strongly 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.
Strongly Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
I would support a moratorium on all immigration, both legal and illegal, for at least 5 years. I have not seen convincing evidence that immigration helps the native-born population. What I have seen is California, once a red state that voted for Reagan twice, turn deep blue because of mass immigration. I’ve seen Virginia turn blue, and I’ve seen wages for working class Americans flatline since we began our current immigration system. Aaron Adams is against mass immigration, legal or illegal. At the State level I will do everything in my power to restrict immigration.
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.
Disagree
I support adding sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression as protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am an evangelical Christian, I was born to a deeply religious family who instilled in me an undying love and devotion to the Almighty God. As such I believe that Jesus Christ of Nazareth is the Son of God and that His teachings should be held as immutable facts. My God comes before all else, even my Country.
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 Conservative
Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
I believe in promoting Western Christian values on the social level and advocating for limited government and liberty. My politics can be described as Conservative, or simply as Right-Wing.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
I was born in rural Ohio to two working class parents. When I was young I saw how my family struggled due to the Great Recession. The experiences of growing up in a working class community and seeing the hardships that people went through I believe is enough to qualify me to fight for those same people. My senior class enthusiastically elected me as their president and I know many of those same young voters will enthusiastically endorse me to fight for them in the Statehouse.
Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.
No, unlike your typical politician I do not have a record of abusing women.
Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
I’m in this race for YOU. The everyday citizens of this district. I’m not from a rich or powerful family. I do not have a Senator father pulling the strings for me. Nor am I propped up by rich donors, my campaign is actually the ONLY campaign that’s capped their contribution limit at less that 2% of the legal limit (which is over $13,000). I’m just an 18 year old who loves this district and its people dearly and wants to fight for them. I entered this race because I’m tired of seeing good honest people being screwed over by big government. I’m in this because I love my God and my Country with all my heart, and I wish to serve both. I’ll only promise one thing, I will not fail you or this district.
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 that current restrictions on gun ownership are sufficient, if not overbearing already.
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.
Neutral
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?
First, will be to provide relief to areas effected by the Opioid Epidemic and to ensure that something like that can never happen again. Second, seek to expand protections to Free Speech and Freedom of Religion by going after the biggest threats to it currently, monopolistic tech companies. Third, ensure the protection and expansion of our 2nd and 4th Amendment rights.
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Racism is antithetical to Christianity, we are all the children of God and we will all stand equal before Him. I do not however believe that racism is currently a domestic security issue.
