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?
When the mother's life, the baby's life , or both would be in danger by continuing the pregnancy.
ECONOMY
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.
Neutral
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?
In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic many difficult budgetary decisions will need to be made. Many programs and departments will need to be evaluated to determine how essential they are to the function and purpose of government.
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?
That the State should neither sponsor nor interfere with the free exercise of religion.
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?
I do not believe that it is the purpose of government to provide healthcare.
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?
Persons with no criminal background who seek to enter our country to better themselves as well as our nation. Ideally, immigrants should either have a job waiting for them, or possess such skills or knowledge that they can easily find work once they immigrate to our country.
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.

I was born and raised as a Roman Catholic, I still practice and attend Church regularly.
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.
Did not answer
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
My experience as a public sector employee at the University of Michigan for over 30 years has allowed me to interact with many great minds. I also interact regularly with contractors, skilled trades and the best and brightest students from around the world. I have learned much from all of them. I have been involved as a member of the Washtenaw County Republican Party since 2012, but I am not a professional politician. I see how the people of Washtenaw County live on a day to day basis and can relate to their needs on a personal level.
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 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 would sign or sponsor bills to reduce government regulation to invigorate the Michigan economy. We can reduce or rewrite many regulations while still protecting human health and the environment. I would sponsor a bill to better protect the rights of victims of Domestic Violence. I am working with a Domestic Violence victim's organization to determine what such legilation would look like.
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
We are all children of God. Racism has no place in our society. Racism is a destabilizing force in society.
