OTHER INFORMATION

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.

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?

To protect the life of the mother.


ECONOMY

It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.

Require Social Security funds be separate from the general fund and untouchable to the spendthrifts in Congress.

What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?

I would freeze spending across all areas of government and prohibit new hires. Department heads would be required to submit a plan to cut costs by 15%. We need to run our country like a business.

Under what circumstances should taxpayers help pay off existing student loans?

None.


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.

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 will be no government sponsored religion and individuals are free to worship the religion of their choice.


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?

I would get the government out of the healthcare business completely and turn it over to the private sector and let the free market provide competitive options for coverage.


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?

Use America's intelligence services and its allies to identify and eliminate terrorist leadership and threats to our country, wherever they may be.


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.

Anyone should be allowed to become US citizens if they enter our country legally and are vetted to make sure they aren't a danger to America.

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Strongly Disagree

Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.

I was raised as Southern Baptist and am guided by Judeo-Christian values.

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 conservative concerned about the attacks on our Constitution by the liberal progressives and activist judiciary.

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?

We need to follow the laws that currently exist that limit dangerous people from owning firearms. We don't need to create any more limitations for law abiding citizens.

Disagree

I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.

Disagree

Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?

Yes, but I believe that there are elements in society that wish to foment unrest and are using America's mistakes and injustices of the past to further their own agenda.
