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?

When the life of the mother is in immediate danger.


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.

How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?

Reforming the system in its entirety. As it stands now, my generation will not see Social Security benefits.

Entitlements

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

Military service with respect to their degree.


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.

I promise to protect the freedom of Christians to share the Gospel and to practice Biblical principles.

I support the elimination of private healthcare insurance.

Getting the government out of it. Price transparency laws.


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?

This is a much more complex issue since 9/11. We must not only pursue terrorists but target their networks, destroy them, and apply substantial pressure, in various ways, to prevent them from resurfacing.


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.

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

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 believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God and was crucified for our sins. I believe in one God. (See Nicene Creed.) I believe the Bible to be divinely inspired. I believe that our morality and values must be focused through our Faith. I seek to uphold the values of Commitment, Honor, and Integrity with my life.


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.

https://www.milesforoklahoma.com https://www.facebook.com/miles4ok5 https://www.twitter.com/miles4ok5

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."
