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?

I believe that all life is sacred and begins at conception. This procedure should only be allowed in order to save the life of the mother.


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

How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?

We must work to eliminate abuse and fraud as a first step. It is also important to note that our nation does not have an income problem but it has a spending problem! The reckless spending habits of Washington insiders have put us in this predicament. It's going to take some true, conservative reform to dig us out.

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

Did not answer

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

Did not answer


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?

It means the Government has no business telling the citizens of this nation how to practice our faith. Liberals often misrepresent this clause in an attempt to violate our religious liberty. In fact, our nation was founded on Judeo-Christian values, and we must respect that.


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?

The first thing we must do is repeal Obamacare. We can not hope to fix our healthcare system until that legislation is repealed. We should replace it with a patient-centric, competition-based system that promotes patient choice and keeps costs low.


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 are blessed to have a President like Donald Trump who puts the safety of Americans first. I will support his agenda to build a wall along our nation's southern border, support travel bans on volatile regions, and provide necessary resources to our military as they hunt down these Islamic militants.


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.

Strongly Agree

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

I believe in a merit-based immigration system. We also must recognize that we live in dangerous times, and immigrants from some countries must undergo extreme vetting before they are considered for entry.


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.

No Answer

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I'm a born again Christian. My faith in Jesus Christ makes up the foundation of my values. These values, rooted in the word of God, give me the strength to be the pro-life and pro-family voice Washington DC so badly needs.


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'm a small-business owner who has found jobs for over 37,000 Oklahomans. In addition, I've been an advocate of the free-market, and have testified before Congress numerous times on behalf of small-business owners. I was appointed to President Trump's Small Business Advisory Council to continue my work advocating for conservative principals.

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'm a problem solver, not a politician. I'm not looking for a job or to make friends with the Washington elite. I'm looking to stop the spread of socialism and save this country with President Donald J. Trump.


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?

I believe we have a God-given right to defend ourselves and our families. This right is enshrined in the Second Amendment and should not be infringed.


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.

Strongly Disagree

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

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?

I will support President Trump's agenda. Starting with building the wall and securing the border. I will work to cut bureaucratic red tape and unleash our economy. I will cut spe
