QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.
Agree
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds or grants from federal, state, or local governments.
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?
When the mother’s life is in serious physical jeopardy. Life is sacred but a wornan should not be required to die as a result of a pregnancy. But this is limited to risk of death or extreme physical injury.
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?
The government does not interfere with the practice of faith and does not make any religion the official religion of then nation.
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?
We should stamp out all Islamic terrorist organizations and make the countries that harbor them pay a substantial cost economically and militarily.
HEALTHCARE
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.
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?
I have a unique plan of a private solution for healthcare for all. Basically I want to change the entire conversation on healthcare. I think we can cover those without coverage through private means. I would look to change dependent regulations so that more than immediate family could be covered on a persons plan. I would also encourage companies like Facebook, Google, The NFL etc to cover individuals. There are many wealthy giant companies who preach healthcare for all, so let them cover everyone. I would also encourage religious institutions to cover people. But all of this on a voluntary basis. No mandatory government system. Mine is the only original and workable plan.
ECONOMY
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.
Neutral
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?
Make sure we do not raid the current funds for current programs.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
There is so much waste in pet projects and research into meaningless things. Also reduce foreign aid.
Under what circumstances should taxpayers help pay off existing student loans?
They should not have to, but we do need substantial student loan reform and an end to predatory lending. See my website for details.
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.
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?
People who believe in American Liberty and want to assimilate into American culture, Not tear it down. Everyone must come in legally.
EDUCATION
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Neutral
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Mandatory minimum sentencing should be required and enforced for violent crimes.
Neutral
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
No additional gun laws are required. Red flag laws are a slippery slope and ripe for abuse. The second amendment is clear as written.
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.
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?
Intelligence Agency Overview and term limits for unelected officials in these agencies. We cannot have unelected people with lifelong control of power. Student loan reform Healthcare dependent regulations changed. FISA Court overview or abolishment of FISA. Impeachment abuse act. Serious consecrated those who fraudulently bring impeachment charges.
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Racism is an old and worn out paradigm. In and of itself it poses no danger, but those who try to divide us by race are using it to destroy the fabric of society by pitting people against each other based on past wrong and pigmentation. See my website for a further discussion of race.
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.
I believe in conservative values and individual liberty. I believe being a Republican means allowing each person to have self determination as long as they are not physically injuring others. The value I wish most to conserve is individual liberty, sometimes that means tolerating things you may not agree with.
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?
Arizona Congressional District 9 is a Democrat leaning district and has always been won by a democrat since its creation in 2012. In order to win as Republicans we must have a candidate that can carry Independents and Centerist Democrats. If we run someone who only appeals to republicans we will lose automatically. I have 2 opponents in the primary, one is Giles who has run twice before p, got crushed thin the republican primary in 2018 by 2 to 1. He can never beat Greg Stanton, plus he doesn’t even live in the district. The other Huang is actually a democrat masking as a Republican to cause chaos in the primary. He post this in Cantonese on we chat (see my Facebook page), he says he would switch parties and support Biden and is anti-Trump. CD9 is the only flippable district in AZ and it would give republicans a 5 - 4 edge in the AZ Congressional Delegation. It is essential I have your support because it is the only way we can have republican values in Congress from district 9.
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.
By beliefs are of the Judeo-Christian heritage. My life is guided by these beliefs and values.
