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?
Only if the mother's life is in jeopardy.
ECONOMY
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.
Neutral
iVoterGuide Notes:
“Staff Note: After the voter guide was published, candidate notified iVoterGuide that the intended answer to this survey question should have been ‘Strongly Disagree’.”
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 propose the removal of unnecessary forms of government, such as the ATL transportation board.
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.
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?
The first amendment ensures both that the government does not show preference to a certain religion and that the government does not take away an individual’s ability to exercise religion. In other words, the church should not rule over the state, and the state cannot rule over the church. Religion is too important to be a government program or a political pageant.
HEALTHCARE
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.
Disagree
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
By deregulation of the healthcare industry.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.
Agree

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

Agree

Agree
iVoterGuide Notes:
“Staff Note: After the voter guide was published, candidate notified iVoterGuide that the intended answer to this survey question should have been ‘Strongly Disagree’.”
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.

What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
I have spent the last five years working for local government and I understand the importance of local control. I have a Master's degree (May 2020) in Public Policy and I am confident I know how to ask the right questions, research and measure the policy I will be voting on. Most importantly I believe district 20 is a like-minded community, we no longer want representatives who take lobbyist money or PAC money. I have committed to not taking any lobbyist or PAC money, which I believe ensures the best interest of district 20 is keep at all times.
Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.
no
