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.
Disagree
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Abortion should be abolished. I will only support bills that will provide complete equal protection for our unborn fellow Oklahomans, I will not support incremental bills that will only regulate abortion. Abortion is murder and should be immediately ENDED not REGULATED.
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?
I would seek to cut funding to things the state has no business medaling with in the first place.
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.
Strongly 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

The state should not regulate or in anyway interfere with the right of the people to assemble and worship together.

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?

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

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.

VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a follower of Jesus Christ. He is the only way the truth and the light. This is why I am running, I want to see Jesus glorified in and through the Oklahoma legislator. I believe it is only through repentance of our sins as individuals and as a state, and returning to biblical constitutional principles that our state will be great again! I am simply a clay vessel that desires to reflect Jesus to my fellow Oklahomans and by His strength create a better State government for Jesus’s glory alone!!!
ABOUT YOU
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?
Very Conservative
Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
I was blessed to be a member of the Oklahoma Republican platform committee last year, which created The Oklahoma Republican Platform for our state. It is one of the most conservative Rep platforms in the history of the state. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ceddd23e7a490000141538e/t/5d6035458989fe00015f7a72/1566586182314/2019_OKGOP_Platform.pdf
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
Having worked in the Electrical trade for the past 6 years I have learned that hard work and staying motivated can go along way in success at anything you try. I will take these same principles to the state capital and take a stand for our God given constitutional rights!!! I WILL by Gods grace not back down from the principles we grassroots Oklahomans hold dear! Having worked as the Vice Chairman of my counties Republican Party and having served as a Delegate to our State Convention and platform committee, I have seen first hand the corruption inside our own party by those who seek to steer our party away from the Constitutional conservative values we hold dear. I am sick of sitting on the sidelines as these establishment rhinos turn a deaf ear to our voices and actively fight against the very things they claim to support. This is why I am running! We can and should have a voice at OUR state capital!!! I will stand for grassroots republicans and say “enough is enough!!”
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?
