OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
None
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
eliminate state tax income
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
PORK... state funds to private organizations, funds that increase the size of government (new departments, agencies, commissions)
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
All rights come from God and no church should close its doors.
HEALTHCARE
What most closely matches your view on healthcare: A) Healthcare for all should be guaranteed and funded by the government with no private healthcare option. (includes "universal healthcare," "medicare for all," etc.) B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options. C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. D)Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded.
D. Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Vaccines are a personal choice between you and your doctor, and certainly no government should mandate vaccines for anyone. No jab, no passports, no masks. What happened to my body, my choice?
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Protect human life rather than people from being offended (WOKE) Fix our intelligent agencies - get rid of bad actors in government that hate and want to destroy the United States. Make our military strong again
I support the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement to pressure Israel to withdraw from occupied territories, remove the separation barrier in the West Bank, allow full equality for Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel, and promote the rights of Palestinian refugees.
Strongly Disagree
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
People should be allowed to immigrate to the United States if and only if they follow and comply with immigration laws.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
Parents should make the decision for their children not government.
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Strongly Agree
I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
My Bible is very clear: man and woman
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition
Strongly Agree
My Bible is clear; God created man and woman.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
We are all created in the image of God. No race is above another.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a full-fledged Southern Baptist, baptized on August 1960. I believe God is the King of Kings, Lord of Lords and the Bible is absolute truth, and not a living document.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Drivers License/Voter ID for non-citizens, Print across the DL/ID "BEARER NOT A U.S. CITIZEN -- NOT VOTER ID" and NC at the front of the number used for DL/ID. Georgia passed SB 202: moved to another state, died or otherwise become ineligible to vote; eliminate drop boxes; Election superintendents shall continue processing, counting and tabulating ballots until such activities are completed on Election Day; no excuse absentee ballots; one day voting
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
I am bi-racial from Louisiana: Chinese father and Caucasian mother. Racism grows from hatred and ignorance. My parents taught us to love over hate and to accept people without prejudice; we were taught the Bible and that Jesus loves us all - yellow, black and white. However, there is always room for improvement.
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Which comes closest to your view? A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost.
A.
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree

What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
We need a proven conservative leader more than ever to fight for our community and protect our values. I am a proven and outspoken conservative voice and an award-winning effective legislative leader. I have a track record for commonsense voter ID reform; ending COVID-19 restrictions; protecting the second amendment; and cracking down on crime. I'm running for re-election to work advocating for real conservative values in the Capitol.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
