QUESTIONNAIRE*
*Additional information was received after the evaluation was assigned and was not considered in the Panel Evaluations, therefore it is for additional educational purposes only.
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.
No Answer
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?
Unqualified to provide meaningful answer.
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?
Budget reviews, contract reviews, restructure bloated agencies, compare our state agencies with other states to look for optomization.
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.
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 Church exercises no control of the state and vice-versa.
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?
The free market is the best way to ensure price control. The policy measures allowing companies to inflate drug prices based upon research costs when sold in the USA are unfair to Americans. Other countries pay a fraction of our cost for the same medications. That is not free market policy.
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.
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.
Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Anyone willing to be a productive and law abiding citizen willing to meet the legal requirements of citizenship should be allowed to work toward it.
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.
Neutral
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Dedicated Christian.
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?
Conservative
Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
Not enough space allowed for meaningful answer. Please look at www.hillian.com for complete answer.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
24 years of leadership experience and training in the U.S. Army. Degree in Computer Science with 20+ years experience in the high end of the field for both the government and commercial markets. Thousands of hours of advanced training in leadership & management from the Department of Energy and Department of Defense.
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 believe my life experience, training, and work ethic uniquely qualify me for this responsibility. Tough days are ahead for us all if our leadership is not up to the challenge. As a Bronze Star winning combat officer, I led soldiers through months of living and fighting in bio-warfare environments, learning many lessons relevant today. As a manager in the Department of Defense I worked alongside brilliant scientists from Los Alamos and Sandia Labs. As a technology engineer, I spent 16 years helping build a small local company named Devon into a Fortune 100 giant and one of Oklahoma’s top employers. And, as a father and husband of 37 years; I know the real value of family and hard work. You may already know me from years of involvement in our local community; helping our local homeless through the Church in the Park program, the Little Axe American Legion, or as a soccer coach for one of your children, or maybe at Lakeview Baptist Church.

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