What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
There is no one government spending to reduce in order to balance the budget. A variety of spending areas need to be cut. 1. The funding for the abortion industry can be cut and 2. scientific testing on human aborted babies, can be cut. 3. For all grants, I would rewrite rules concerning spending, so excess grant money is saved instead of squandered. 4. Freeze government employees' salary and benefit levels.

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
Separation of church and state means to me that no government is allowed to force a state religion onto any citizen. In other words, it is a law that protects the citizen from government's intrusion and allows citizens to practice their own religion, if desired. However a very un-Constitutional view is being pushed as "separation of church and state," which is that religious people must separate from their religious views or not be in public office. It seems Christians have been told they should not have anything to do with politics. This is anti-Christian and anti-American. And because Christians are being excluded from the political process, Christian rights have been trampled. Taxpaying American Christians need to be allowed to take their Christian values with them and be an influence in government, which is sorely needed in this day and age of government.

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?

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?
Conservative
Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
I chose "Conservative" because I have strongly held views most Republicans hold. In immigration, I want Immigration Reform and to build the Wall; in foreign policy, I conservatively want peace and peaceful relations with all countries throughout the world, as much possible; and economically I'm for encouraging new and existing Iowa business, in all areas of commerce. I strongly believe in helping our farmers in looking for new business opportunities, and new uses for farm products. I have always stood up for Iowa farmers, both to the Trump Campaign, and the Trump Administration. But I am more middle of the road in social matters, such as in the areas of public assistance and Social Security. It is my desire that Republicans acknowledge that poor people voted them into office, and that they would do more to help the disadvantaged. More compassion needs to be shown, especially to those who because of physical limitations, cannot work.

What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
No amount of education can teach a person to have common sense in social and political matters. But as for experience, I have an interest in politics, and have volunteered for the Trump campaign, and for The Republican Party of Iowa before the 2018 midterm election.

Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.
No to either question.

No to either question.
Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
I would like to add that when I volunteered for the Trump Campaign they asked if I wanted to be paid. I declined, saying that I would like a future President Trump, to instead, stand up for and protect the Christians. And this he has done. Or at least I would like to think I had a small hand, in why President Trump has helped Christians.

In priority order, what three areas of legislation do you propose to author or sponsor if elected?
1. A Bill that ensures that hospitals are well stocked with face masks, and other supplies; and Covid 19 medicine by relying on, or encouraging local Iowa manufacturing/supply companies. 2. In the light of the Corona Virus Pandemic, and school closures, I would promote a Homeschooling Bill in Iowa to allow the purchase of Homeschooling supplies and curriculum for students. 3. A Bill that makes abortion non-essential, and shuts down abortion clinics during the Corona Virus Pandemic.

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Racism, and race wars, are not much of a threat in the U.S at the present time, because of the the Corona Virus Pandemic, people are staying indoors. In the past I believe there was more chance of having a race war, because of paid groups like Antifa. They along with the KKK very well could start a race war, but I believe they may be confined to small sections of the country, only, because their smallness of numbers. If those groups get very large I believe they could affect larger areas of the U.S. with race wars.
