QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Society should never accept that an unborn child should die and strive to preserve life.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
Strongly Agree
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
What should be the relationship between the church and the state?
Government has expanded too far into private life and individual beliefs. Our government was founded on the concept of religious freedom and has been allowed to insert itself into the belief structures of the people it was established to protect.
NATIONAL SECURITY
With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened. B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger. D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.
The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger.
I support the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement to pressure Israel to withdraw from occupied territories, remove the separation barrier in the West Bank, allow full equality for Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel, and promote the rights of Palestinian refugees.
Strongly Disagree
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Islamic terrorists should be imprisoned or put to death for as long as they chose to threaten American lives or our attack our way of life.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Nobody has the right to require vaccination of anyone else. Many times we will agree but if we do not, you have no right to tell someone else what to believe.
What most closely matches your view on healthcare: A) Healthcare for all should be guaranteed and funded by the government with no private healthcare option. (includes "universal healthcare," "medicare for all," etc.) B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options. C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. D)Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded.
Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary.
ECONOMY
Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.
Strongly Disagree
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
Americas taxation of business and the middle class is out of control. Taxes need reduced across the board accompanied by cuts in the size of government
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
A strong American begins with strong borders and a thoughtful immigration system.
State and federal funds shall be denied to any public or private entity, such as a sanctuary city, that is not in compliance with immigration laws.
Strongly Agree
State and Federal funds are collected to serve taxpaying Americans and not those who willfully break American laws.
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
All people from around the entire world who want to contribute to America, support America's way of life, and live life in peace with fellow Americans should be allowed the opportunity to apply for imagination to America. Of all those who apply, a thoughtful system should be in place to allow those who can best contribute to our society be the first to immigrate to our Country.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Strongly Agree
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Strongly Disagree
Defunding police departments should have never happened and while I absolutely believe more help is needed for those with mental health, I do not accept defunding police is a part of that discussion.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
ABSOLUTELY NO MORE RESTRICTIONS ON GUN OWNERSHIP FOR LAW ABIDDING AMERICANS IS NEEDED ON AMERICA TO PROTECT PUBLIC SAFETY. WE HAVE TOO MANY GUN LAWS AND THEY WILL NEVER STOP CRIMINALS OR INSANE PEOPLE FROM BEING EVIL. I WANT EVERY GOOD PERSON TO HAVE A GUN TO HELP STOP EVIL WHENEVER IT SHOWS ITS FACE.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
ABOUT YOU
When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and religious liberty, which of the following best describes you overall?
Conservative
I believe my views align most with former presidents Lincoln, Washington, Trump, and Roosevelt.
Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).
I have video interviews and research articles available on my YouTube and Rumble channels that support my positions.
Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized in either civil or criminal court for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.
NO
What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
As a father of three daughters, I am disgusted that some groups believe that mutilating' the genitals of a minor is acceptable, or that my daughters should have to compete against a biological mail in school sports and think legislation is needed to stop the madness that is supporting this in our Country. As Washington States Representative I will: 1) Advocate for the federal indictment of Washington State Governor Jay Inslee for Infrastructure fraud. 2) Advocate for the federal indictment of Fauci for medical fraud and lying to congress 3) Advocate for the federal indictment of Bob Ferguson for civil rights violations against the residents of Washington Furthermore, as a MAGA Republican Candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives, I am excited for the day I can vote for President Trump to be the next speaker of the House of Representatives. "LETS GO BRANDON"!.
VALUES
Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
CRT is Anti-American and should be banned from all U.S. Institutions.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a Christian who values good over evil, freedom over slavery, debate over force, and morality over academia.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Mail in voting should be abolished, in-person voting should be mandatory, federally approved photo identification should be required for all federal elections, only U.S. residents should be allowed to vote in ANY American Election, and those caught committing election fraud should be imprisoned or put to death.
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Racism is not a threat to domestic security. Racism is immoral and I disagree with it but the government has no place forcing or criminalizing arbitrary morals upon the people it is supposed to be serving.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
Which comes closest to your view? A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost.
Environmental laws and regulations costs should be balanced against their impact to human suffering, economic harm, and military weakness.
