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.

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 an America First Conservative because I will stand up for the Constitution and the Second Amendment. I will fight for Americans and Oklahomans. I understand what it's like to struggle. I grew up in rural Oklahoma in a trailer with no electricity or running water, raised by a single parent who was addicted to opioids. Like most Oklahomans, I didn't inherit any business or wealth, and I've had to work for everything I've got. My argument to voters isn't just to vote for me instead of Kendra Horn, but to vote for one of your own instead of Kendra Horn, for someone who shares your values, your view of the world, and your priorities.
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?
None.
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.
Neutral
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?
Opioid Epidemic Term Limits Immigration Reform
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
No, identity politics is. We are not born racists but we allow the narrative of our being "victims" to be set. In 2016 after President Trump won, I was told by my Aunt, who escaped a tyrannical regime in Iran, that I needed to stop, "acting white."
