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.

Agree

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

No abortion under any circumstances ..!


ECONOMY

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

Agree

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 would reduce salaries in certain governmental positions that do not produce any result.


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?

it means that both have the liberty of working for the people in their own way. in my own conviction the church and the state should never be separated. When both entities got separated some values and principles of the founders fathers were broken.


HEALTHCARE

It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.

Agree

How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?

As a duty to defend and uphold the Constitution as stated in my oath of office, I will work with my fellow legislators to rigorously enforce the 10th Amendment by not enforcing the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in Indiana. The ACA represents Congressional overreach since the States did not delegate to Congress the ability to set up a health care system. I will listen to ideas from my constituents as to what laws are needed to make access to affordable insurance more readily available in our great state.


NATIONAL SECURITY

The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.

Disagree


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.

Agree

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

To anyone who comes with a Visa, and provides principles and values that help the development of the nation...


EDUCATION

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Agree


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.

Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

The Bible is My Standard of Faith and Conduct ..!
