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?
If the mother's life will be lost, and thus the child's life as well. That is the only exception I believe in.
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.
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?
Government shall make no law that creates a state run religion, or place restrictions on religion.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.
Strongly Agree
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?
Remove regulations that prevent massive free market competition for health care, and health insurance. Some states only have a couple insurance providers. Also, I would give 100% tax deductions to Health Care Savings Accounts.
ECONOMY
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.
Strongly 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?
Education makes up more than 50% of most state budgets.
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 like to see an end to all immigration until such time as we remove those who have illegally entered, and we have created a new system that only allows immigrants who we NEED.
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
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
Yes
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Violent convicted Felons should not be allowed to own a gun. Other than that, no restrictions should be placed on law abiding citizens.
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.
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?
Parents Rights / Education Voter ID / Fraud protection of our election system Promotion of Free Speech requirements on social media / online platforms.
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
No, because rampant racism on a criminal level has not been a major issue for over half a century. That said, I would end the only actual government sanctioned racism called "Affirmative Action".
JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY
I support the use of Sharia law as a basis for legislation and judicial decisions in the United States.
Strongly Disagree
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 am the Founder of a Parent's Rights organization known as #PurpleForParents. This group of conservative parents rose up in stark Opposition to the Democrat party and union backed...socialist movement known as $RedForEd. We are fighting for protecting the rights of parents to keep Comprehensive Sex Ed our of the schools, expand school choice, and end the far left wing indoctrination. The PFP PAC is now spreading around the country to other states like North Carolina, Indiana, Florida, Texas et cetera.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
I am already fighting for the people of my state by creating a parent right activist organization that has had many political accomplishments. We have organized and elected hundreds of parents to become Precinct Committeemen throughout the state, and of those, dozens are now State committeemen. We have pushed and encouraged the Republican Party of Arizona to adopt our goals as an official part of the Republican Party platform in Arizona. We have been major stakeholders in writing legislation that support parents rights, school choice, and protecting children.
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?
I started the advocacy group called #PurpleForParents to fight for parents’ rights. I own a digital marketing and advertising business that helps companies who have been negatively impacted by far-left tech companies. Having been raised by an army helicopter pilot in West Germany, South Korea, and all over our United States… I know from experience that America is the best place for freedom on Earth! My candidacy is about service. I believe in an originalist view of the Constitution, the righteousness of our nuclear family traditions, and the untapped potential of the American 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.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I have been saved by the grace of God through his son Jesus Christ.
