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?
Under extraordinary circumstances only
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?
Social Security needs to be reviewed NOW in order to ensure it remains funded after 2034 (the year it will be officially taking in less money than paying out). Factors to consider; taxing or not taxing SS funds, raising the retirement age slightly, decrease the amount of benefits received, opting out of social security tax among other factors. This problem needs to be addressed immediately in order to facilitate continuity of the program.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
As mentioned previously, I am calling for a full review of all of the administrative agencies. There is waste and inefficiency everywhere. That will reduce costs and bring us closer to balancing the budget.
Under what circumstances should taxpayers help pay off existing student loans?
Student loans should not have annual interest charged, people can not escape their debt if they are being charged 5% per annum on heavy loan amounts.
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?
Free exercise of religion is the foundation of the country. The state should not entangle its policy with this free exercise.
HEALTHCARE
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.
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?
First off, we need to take personal responsibility in our physical fitness. Eating healthy and taking care of ourselves and family is a PRIORITY. Obamacare was certainly a bad solution, extremely expensive and wildly ineffective.
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?
Increase intelligence gathering using VALID warrants
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?
We need to tighten immigration, enforce illegal immigration laws and encourage those to immigrate that can contribute to our country.
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.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Catholic
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.
Read or watch anything I have said, I make it fairly clear that we need to ensure we are fiscally responsible and enforce immigration laws. Further, I believe in tax decreases on every level, as Government does not know how to properly manage a budget.
Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.
N/A
Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
I am a self described constitutional originalist and conservative. We need to look to the foundation of the country when creating policy as a starting point on decision making.
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, the criminals are the ones that need "restrictions"
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
I support BDS (boycott, divestment, and sanction) against Israel if they refuse to allow the creation of a Palestinian state.
No Answer
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?
1. Full review and audit of administrative agencies to cut wasteful spending 2. Immediately divest international manufacturing and incentivize companies to manufacture in the United States 3. Full review of 2nd Amendment laws that are unconstitutional (most are), legislation to remove all of the unconstitutional laws
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
