What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
The US Government needs to begin to print US Treasury Dollars and stop printing Federal Reserve Dollars. The US needs to begin paying off bond debt and certificates with US Dollars and discontinue use of Federal Reserve Dollars.This will be the path to reducing unsustainable national debt. Beyond that, audits need to occur on spending to eliminate waste. I believe that fraud and waste needs to be eliminated in welfare, healthcare, military,grants, etc Line item veto ought to be allowed.
Under what circumstances should taxpayers help pay off existing student loans?
Tax Payers ought not to be responsible for student loans. Students and parents ought to be educated in how to make wise investment choices in regards to education. Government must require for funding: - Schools must eliminate unnecessary courses in their programs - class costs must be reasonable - monies are not being used to enrich high paid teacher/professor salaries& administrative expenses.
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
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 term “Separation of Church and State” does not exist in the constitution. The term was used by Thomas Jefferson in private writings. The concept conveyed was that the government ought not to control the church or intimidate personal religious belief, yet, the church and those of religious belief ought to have full authority to influence government. This thinking was in line with the experience the authors of the Declaration of Independence came out of from England where the government controlled the church. Unfortunately, the courts have taken this concept not listed in the Constitution and have completely twisted its original meaning to imply something different where it is used to attempt to restrict religious influence in the government, public institutions, and the public arena.
HEALTHCARE
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.
Strongly Disagree
I support the elimination of private healthcare insurance.
Disagree
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?

NATIONAL SECURITY
The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.
Strongly Agree
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of radical Islamic terrorism?
We should not allow such perpetrators to enter our country. We need to clarify the meaning set forth by the writers of the constitution of the word "religion".
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
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) should be abolished.
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.
Strongly Agree
Employers should be required to use E-verify to confirm the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States.
Strongly Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

EDUCATION
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.

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.
Go to my website at www.HammanHawaii.com
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?
Hawaii is in the beginning of the greatest financial/economic implosion in history. ?Elected politicians in the state legislature and at federal levels have stood by and have done nothing to intervene to protect the citizens of Hawaii and to prevent the impending astronomical catastrophe that is coming. The devastation will be exponential. David R Hamman is the only candidate who has taken legal action and is named as a plaintiff to legally stop the destructive actions of Governor Ige and save the state. David R Hamman is the only candidate who has the courage, know how, and determination to effectively fight to restore the economy, the financial well being, and the God given unalienable rights of the citizens of the State of Hawaii Go to www.HammanHawaii.com
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Mandatory minimum sentencing should be required and enforced for violent crimes.
Strongly Agree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
The Second Amendment is an unalienable right established in the constitution for the protection of the people from tyranny and for self defense. Well established statistics demonstrate that areas that maintain high gun ownership have less crime than areas that have gun bans. If I am elected, I will pursue the DOJ to uphold the Second Amendment rights of Hawaii citizens.
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
I support BDS (boycott, divestment, and sanction) against Israel if they refuse to allow the creation of a Palestinian state.
Strongly Disagree
I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.
Strongly Agree
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Disagree
The Electoral College should be abolished.
Disagree
In priority order, what three areas of legislation do you propose to author or sponsor if elected?
Limits on Emergency orders acts Enact strict limits on "probable cause", eliminate "no knock" warrants, develop strict protocols requiring law enforcement to allow targets an opportunity to co-operate prior to utilizing excessive forced entry,require law enforcement to compensate for any unnecessary injury or damage caused during the performance of a search warrant and be held responsible for any criminal action while performing such searches.
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
It is critical that all appearances of injustice be put into appropriate objective perspective to correct situations where the appearance of prejudice is being purported. Simply taking certain situations where it appears injustices occurred and magnifying them to the extent of eliminating all objective evaluation and action does not resolve the root of the particular incident being magnified. Not addressing injustices is a problem. As well, making generalized assertions that all people in certain people groups are guilty of and responsible for improper treatment of people of another people group solely based upon the color of their skin, origin, or ethnicity even if they have no personal history with the other people group is absurd and unjust. Purporting blanket assertions of prejudices is an attempt to divide rather than constructively correct specific injustices.
