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?

Only when it is the only way to save the life of the mother.


ECONOMY

It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.

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 have to look at a specific budget proposal to answer this question.


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.

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 Founding Fathers based the formation of this nation on religious principles and a love and respect of God. The "separation of church and state' is a misnomer although I do not favor the establishment of a particular religious body determined by the government.


HEALTHCARE

It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.

Disagree

How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?

Utilize the private sector. Not sure exactly how that can be affordable for all.


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?

Those who can be determined to have the potential to be a positive force.


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.

Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God the Father and that salvation is attained by a belief in Christ as Savior. My values are those taught in the Scripture - both Old and New Testaments.


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.

No idea how to respond. I could give a list of friends who know that is my position(s). Or list my adult children who have heard me teach those positions all their lives. I have not published. I learned long ago that letters to the editor get edited in a way that can change the tenor of the message so I do not engage in that activity. Perhaps my membership in the Oklahoma Second Amendment Association and that organizations rating of "A" might be persuasive. Or the fact that I have donated $500 to President Trump's re - election campaign. Or that thus far I have invested over $6000 in my campaign for election to the Oklahoma House as a conservative Republican.

What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?

Well educated. B.A. and Juris Doctor degrees. Four years active duty as an Army Infantry Officer in various leadership positions. Eight years as a sales rep for an international pharmaceutical company. Thirty five years as a practicing trial attorney. Investing profitably in real estate . Building an office building from start to finish. Having the wisdom spoken of in Proverbs (age helps with that somewhat).

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 consider myself a man of honor, honesty, and integrity. I consider myself to be a patriot who loves the United States of America and I want my children, grand children and future generations to have the same or equal opportunities to enjoy the blessings of liberty that I have had.


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.

Strongly Agree


2ND AMENDMENT

Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?

Yes

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

No ownership to convicted felons.


OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.

Disagree

The Electoral College should be abolished.

Strongly Disagree

In priority order, what three areas of legislation do you propose to author or sponsor if elected?

I am not vain enough to think that as a freshman legislator I will propose or sponsor significant legislation. I think I have the brains and life experiences to make wise decisions in considering and discussing proposed legislation. However, that said, I would have as a goal legislation that will promote financial stability and legislation that will equip our state medical centers to handle future pandemics which I full expect as enemies of the United States continue to attempt to destroy our country.

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?

I reject the argument that our society is systemically racist. The activities of the race haters is, in my opinion, designed to weaken our country and lead it to socialism and must be resisted with all the power and tools available to elected government. I fully support President Trump in his thoughts and activities to call out these hate filled rioters. I personally refuse to watch any sports that condones the disrespect to our flag which is the symbol of all that is good about America.
