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?
I am 100% pro-life. The far left has waged a war against the unborn for decades. Now they are going even further – pushing for abortion up until the moment of birth. This is disgusting and abhorrent. I promise to always stand firm in defense of the defenseless.
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?
Did not answer
NATIONAL SECURITY
The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.
Strongly Agree
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of radical Islamic terrorism?
Did not answer
HEALTHCARE
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.
Strongly Disagree
I support the elimination of private healthcare insurance.
Strongly Disagree
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
ObamaCare was a government-based solution to human problems. It increased premium costs on millions of Americans, forced even more to lose their doctor or preferred health insurance, and I think we’ve seen a resounding rejection of it by the American people. That said, we do need reforms. We need to protect people with pre-existing conditions, we need to make sure there is more transparency in prescription drug pricing, we do need to make sure Americans aren’t hit with surprise catastrophic doctor bills. But the left’s remedy for those issues is a Medicare-for-all type government based health care system. That is not the answer. It would put the government in charge of people’s health care and stick the middle class with the bill. Right now no one is seriously working on finding solutions and that’s what I intend to fix when I get to Congress.
ECONOMY
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.
No Answer
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?
Did not answer
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Did not answer
Under what circumstances should taxpayers help pay off existing student loans?
Did not answer
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
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.
Strongly 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?
The first step in fixing our broken immigration system is to secure our border. I will work with other members of Congress to help President Trump finish building the border wall and close immigration loopholes. I will stand firm against sanctuary city policies that weaken our nation's security. Democrats use immigration as a political ploy for fundraising dollars and Twitter followers, but I will actually work to fix the problem. I will bring other members of Congress to the table to find resolutions instead of retweets.
EDUCATION
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Mandatory minimum sentencing should be required and enforced for violent crimes.
Strongly Agree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
When liberal elite politicians try to take our guns, I will be a firm line of defense. I will never waver in the fight to protect our 2nd Amendment rights.
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.
No Answer
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?
I am running to be a conservative fighter for the people of Alabama’s 2nd District. I will stand with President Trump to finish the wall and secure our borders, I will fight to protect the unborn, protect our 2nd Amendment rights, and stand up to the far-left’s push for Socialism. Today, politicians – Republicans and Democrats – are more worried about themselves. They focus more on their agendas than their constituents and they cave on their principles.
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
The recent rise in Socialism coming from the fringe left should be shocking to all, but few are calling it out for what it really is: godlessness and a lie. The promises of Socialism have never come to fruition and have done nothing but destroy nations. The further we separate ourselves from God, the larger government becomes. We are designed by our creator with an inherent desire to worship; a design meant to lead us to God. But if you remove God, stigmatize His worship, and indoctrinate young minds against Him, people will turn to the false hope of socialism for solutions. That is why I’m running for Congress. God has led me to do all things in my life, from working in government, to USAID, to bringing aid to others with Convoy of Hope. Now I am going to take my deep Christian convictions to Capitol Hill to fight to defend our shared values. I am sick of establishment politicians – Republican and Democrat – who break their promises time and time again and betray the people.
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.
