OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
I am Pro-Life and I will staunchly defend the life of the unborn. Every life is a blessing from God, and we must treat all life as sacred and do everything possible to protect it.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Choose not to answer
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Every life is a blessing from God, and we must do everything possible to protect these lives from harm. I am staunchly Pro-Life, and I will always defend the sanctity of life for the unborn. As such, I am opposed to abortion.
ECONOMY
Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.
Strongly Disagree
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
We need to build off of the great work President Trump started when he signed the historic Tax Cuts and Jobs Act into law. This landmark legislation helped to induce a surge in economic growth across America, which led to raised wages and expanded job growth. We need to build from this and to continue to enact pro-growth policies, work to simplify the tax code, and to create tax cuts for hardworking Americans.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
Strongly Agree
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
What should be the relationship between the church and the state?
Did not answer
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
As a physician, I know the value of a doctor-patient relationship firsthand and believe that healthcare decisions should be made between a patient and their doctor, and not by politicians in Washington, DC. As such, I am adamantly opposed to vaccine mandates.
What most closely matches your view on healthcare: A) Healthcare for all should be guaranteed and funded by the government with no private healthcare option. (includes "universal healthcare," "medicare for all," etc.) B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options. C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. D)Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded.
C
NATIONAL SECURITY
With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened. B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger. D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.
C
I support the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement to pressure Israel to withdraw from occupied territories, remove the separation barrier in the West Bank, allow full equality for Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel, and promote the rights of Palestinian refugees.
Strongly Disagree
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Having served in the military for nearly three decades, I know firsthand that America’s national security requires a strong national defense. This includes playing an active role to eradicate foreign and domestic threats of Islamic terrorism, to ensure that our our citizens are protected from potential terror attacks.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
State and federal funds shall be denied to any public or private entity, such as a sanctuary city, that is not in compliance with immigration laws.
Strongly Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Only people that are vetted, screened, and go through the legal process should be allowed to immigrate into our country. I will work tirelessly to prevent anyone from entering our country illegally.
VALUES
Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Did not answer
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Many Americans have rightfully lost faith in the integrity of our electoral process due to the unconstitutionally implemented election practices prior to the 2020 election. To rectify this, Congress needs to implement reforms to ensure we have fair and secure elections. Further, Congress must enhance voter ID laws, continue to ban any form of ballot harvesting, and protect against the federalization of our election process. Each of these reforms will help to ensure a more secure election process and will help to instill confidence back into Americans nationwide.
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Racism is not a threat to domestic security in the United States. Unfortunately, the radical left wants to push a fake narrative that the United States is a "racist country," which is simply not true. This is all a part of the left's abhorrent and shameful socialist and woke agenda that wrongfully divides our country.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
Which comes closest to your view? A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost.
A
ABOUT YOU
When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and religious liberty, which of the following best describes you overall?
Very Conservative
Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).
Did not answer
Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized in either civil or criminal court for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.
No
What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
My key issues and priorities in the next Congress will be to: Build off the Trump Administration's incredible success in bolstering our national defense and homeland security by ensuring our military and our leaders have all of the necessary resources to defend our country against any potential threats or influence posed by our adversaries, Support Texas agriculture and the hardworking farmers and ranchers in Texas’ Thirteenth Congressional District (the number one agriculture district in Texas), and Defend Texas values and our country against the radical left’s assault on our nation through their woke social agenda.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Did not answer
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Strongly Disagree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
As a lifelong gun owner and a proud defender of our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms, I am supportive of constitutional carry, and believe that all law-abiding citizens should be able to own and carry guns. In Congress, I have proven this through my work to help block the radical left’s attempts to take our guns through red flag laws. I will always work to ensure that no one can take away or limit our ability to defend ourselves or our constitutional right to own guns.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
