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?

None


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.

Agree

What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?

Between my 3 platforms of healthcare, education and criminal justice reforms we can save hundreds of millions of dollars. We also need to go through government and reduce the amount of bureaucracy spending.


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.

Neutral

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?

Government can not determine the religion of the country. That’s about it. Church is allowed to back political candidates and speak out on politics.


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?

I believe we can have a tax credit based preventative care system for the lower income for providers. We can help create HSAs and major medical insurance plans for the lower income. We also need mandatory price tags on healthcare services. These measures would save taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars without sacrificing care.


NATIONAL SECURITY

The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.

Strongly 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?

We should have the ability to control the caliber of people admitted into the country. At the same time we can also include family of current citizens or permanent residents. Everyone who wishes to come to this country should get in line, follow the law for immigration and sign the guest book.


EDUCATION

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

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.

I am a Christian. I grew up a baptist but now I am non-denominational. I believe that government’s responsibility is to protect our rights. Our rights were ours at conception, they are not provided by government. I believe in Capitalism but I do believe that small intervention is ok with regards to safety ie. dumping and anit-fraud laws. I believe that government should be small and should only need the amount of money to facilitate its job and nothing more.

Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.

No

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?

I want to bring the same passion and motivation for my own family to the Capitol. There are things we can do better and if we do them, Oklahoma will become a better state and increase the standard of living for Oklahomans. My reforms will also help to create and even better environment for business and jobs.


JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY

I support the use of Sharia law as a basis for legislation and judicial decisions in the United States.

Strongly Disagree


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

Mandatory minimum sentencing should be required and enforced for violent crimes.
