OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.
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?
Rape, incest, and health of the mother. Health meaning mother's life is in peril.
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
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
First, all money going to foreign countries or organizations.
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.
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?
Freedom of religion, not freedom from religion. Our country was built on Judaeo-Christian values. Separation is the the there is not a state sponsored religion.
HEALTHCARE
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.
Strongly Disagree
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
As Christians we have an obligation to take care of the less fortunate. Medicaid and Soonercare are available for those that can't purchase care. For those that can purchase, we need to allow providers to go across State lines and create an atmosphere of competition. Let the purchaser pick the coverage they need. HSA's, posted pricing, let purchaser go outside the network, let the free market work.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.
Agree
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.
Strongly Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
All of us are immigrants. However, we all came here legally, seeking a better life and the American dream. These are the people we need to let in. These people need to be vetted, healthy, USA loving, and willing to assimilate.
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.
Jesus is my Lord and savior. His death allows me to have eternal life.

Very Conservative
Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
Talk to anyone the knows me.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
I have been a business man for over 27 years, bringing development, prosperity, and jobs to OKC. I feel that there needs to be more business people in government. Much of my work is negotiating and contracts. I can take those skills to the Capitol. Even though government is set up on the idea of compromise business principals can be applied to the legislative process.

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
The only racism that is a security threat is from the people that hate the USA. Is there still racism, yes. I have seen four generations in my life. Each successive generation is less racist than the previous.
