OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.
Neutral
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds or grants from federal, state, or local governments.
Disagree
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.
No Answer
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
It is the individual's choice. The rights of an actual, outweigh the rights of a potential.
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?
The summary of the operating budget is 298 pages long... Before I make any commitments to who and what to reduce I would need more knowledge of the budget.
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.
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.
Strongly Disagree
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?
People are free to worship, without being reminded of the State. People are free to assemble, without being reminded of the Church.
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?
Without good health, we cannot begin to access our natural rights. Healthcare is vital for national defense and should not be ran for profit. A federally administered healthcare system that partners with private industry for services and technology would be ideal to confront the many challenges we face as we globalize.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.
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 Disagree
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.
Disagree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
The courageous of heart fleeing oppression in search of liberty and democracy.
EDUCATION
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Agree
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Neutral
I support adding sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression as protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Agree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am agnostic, and I am happy to share a prayer to any god or goddess in the pantheon. Privately, I enjoy the casual use of magick. Worshiping spirits is an important part of culture and identity, and government has a mandate to protect sacred things.
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?
Moderate
Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
As a Libertarian, I am more culturally liberal than a democrat and more fiscally conservative than a republican. For example, in my race for County Commissioner in 2016, my platform of building a county firearms range to generate tax revenue earned me an endorsement in the Progressive voters guide.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
A leader must have courage... At the age of 21, while serving on a commissioned warship, we fought pirates with pistols and knives in the middle of storms at sea.
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?
You are not alone. You belong here.
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.
Neutral
2ND AMENDMENT
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
Yes
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
None. Gun laws are obnoxious and do little to protect the public.
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Agree
I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.
Strongly Agree
The Electoral College should be abolished.
Neutral
In priority order, what three areas of legislation do you propose to author or sponsor if elected?
Simplify taxes with a single land-value tax, decriminalize sex work, and reform red-flag laws.
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Yes, but please define domestic security? There are people who feel threatened for a variety of reasons right now.
