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?
None. I am 100% pro-life and endorsed by Florida Right to Life.
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?
I want to stop giving money to Planned Parenthood. I want to cut wasteful and unnecessary spending.
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?
There is no "Separation of Church and State" in the Constitution. We have Freedom of Religion, not freedom from religion.
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?
As a Legislator, I would remind the residents of House District 27 of the many choices for healthcare that is still available to all Americans. We are not a socialist country with limited choices controlled by the government.
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
iVoterGuide Notes:
After the voter guide was published, candidate notified iVoterGuide that the intended answer to this survey question should have been ‘Strongly Agree.”
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Anyone who is willing assimilate like I did. We want skilled, intelligent immigrants who want to contribute to our great country. I waited 11 years with a Green Card before being sworn in and naturalized as a citizen on March 5th, 1998. I am proud to be an American and we should accept immigrants who also love our country. I will not support illegal immigration or sanctuary cities here in Florida.
EDUCATION
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree
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 am a born again Christian. I was wonderfully saved on Tuesday, December 6th, 1983 in Birmingham, England. God changed my life radically and allowed me to meet an American Christian woman, the definition of a virtuous woman, whose price is far above rubies. I believe I have been ordained, appointed, and anointed for such a time as this. I look forward to doing the will of the Lord in the Florida Legislature.
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.
In February of 2018, I gave the Prayer Invocation at a rally for President Donald J. Trump here in Volusia County.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
As a former City Commissioner and an active member of my community, I have the vast depth of experience necessary to be an effective leader in the Florida Legislature. I worked for the British Government for 10 years as a property manager for their local Government Housing Department. Since coming to the United States in 1987 and becoming a proud naturalized citizen in March of 1998, I have endeavored to give back for all this great country has done for me and my family. I have been and still continue to serve as The National Write Your Congressman, Inc. Sales Representative for Central Florida since 1994. Prior to that, I was an Account Executive for Christian Radio WTLN in Altamonte Springs.
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 am a proud American who is honest and accountable. Please visit my website: www.VoteBarnaby.com
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.
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?
To be clear, I am proud to be pro-gun and fully support the Second Amendment. I was proud to receive a 100% Pro-Gun rating. I do not support gun bans or strict gun control regulations. With that said, individuals with a history of mental illness should have to get a Doctor's clearance to apply for gun ownership.
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?
1. Protect the life of unborn by supporting pro-life legislation. 2. Work with Governor DeSantis to safely reopen the economy. We must support small businesses and Florida families by cutting taxes and regulations. 3. Promote school choice, allowing parents to select the best school for their children - including charter and Christian schools.
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Yes. It is being promoted by anarchists rioting throughout the country. They hate America, our values, and our Founding Fathers. As a black man with a son proudly serving in the U.S. Navy, I understand the importance of our law enforcement officers. I do not support defunding the police - not now, not ever.
