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?
First of all - promote healthy living instead of fast unhealthy foods on every street corners. Change the habits that lead to obesity, smoking, high blood pressure and the like. Use science to cure problems not create customers. Stop depending on China to make our medications. Require big Parma to give back to the people that they make all their money from. Stop merchandising healthcare and work to cure cancers not make money from it. Stop paying billions to counties that hate us and use that money to invest in the prosperity of the American people. Let's judge our economy by our advancement and not by how many billionaires we make. Those who make billions on us should be paying it forward to help the rest of us.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born to a virgin named Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; On the third day He arose from the dead, where He preached freedom to the captive, He ascended into heaven, He is seated at the right hand of the Father, and He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the body of Christ (church), the fellowship of the saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.
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.
My voting record.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
Civil servant for over 30 years - I don't have fancy letter behind my name but I do have lessons of life learned in living and making mistakes. Joined the United States Marines at age 17 and gained vitally important experience in protecting and defending our nation and our way of life. A member of the Seaman’s International Union as a Merchant Marine Corrections Officer for 32 years - served my fellow employees as a shop steward / Union Rep Experience in negotiating, workplace legalities and labor law, and, most importantly, championing for the people I represented. Working within the Criminal Justice System I have learned and witnessed first hand things that work and things that don't work. I have interacted and spoken with thousands of inmates over the years and heard first hand testimonies as to what happened, why it happened and what works for those who work it. I believe that, that knowledge is paramount in drafting and designing programs for future.
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?
It is never too late to make a better decision. Our state has been in the control of a single party and has no excuses as to the sad state of affairs that they alone have caused. They have demonstrated that they care more about turning our state into a socialist, government depended society. We need to protect our Constitution and the rightful exercise of freedoms that it supports.
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

Strongly Disagree
In priority order, what three areas of legislation do you propose to author or sponsor if elected?
The issues tend to change almost by the day. Defend the Law Enforcement community and do EVERYTHING in my power to strengthen and support those who serve. To included All Military branches and Veterans, Law Enforcement, Fire fighters, EMT's and other first responders. First and foremost OPEN WASHINGTON and KEEP IT OPEN. ensuring that the Inslee does not use any tragedy as an opportunity to advance his leftist agenda. Repeat the Sex Education Act that was passed in the middle to the night and defend the voter approved initiatives that are not being allowed to become law. Rebuild. Businesses that have lost money and livelihood due to the closure of the state. Recreate the jobs that have died and or will die due to the indebtedness that the closure has caused.
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
YES and NO The only racial threat to US is the Main Stream Media narrative that there is. Political Party that is using people of color and demanding their continued support and allegiance to them them are a bigger threat. Being a biracial person - there is no threat coming from us. We are being intentionally pitted against one another and the MSM are using racism to create more racism.
