OTHER INFORMATION
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
As a pro-life and Christian I cannot in any way condone any Federal, State or taxpayer money given towards this. Life is precious and I believe it begins at conception.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Neutral
I believe life is precious and begins at conception. I do not believe suicide as an answer to anything, however, I also don’t believe in forcing someone to suffer a grueling agonizing death. I believe it is between the individual who is suffering and God. Not ever having to go through anything like this personally, I would have to consult others in this situation and God. In general, I would be inclined to disagreement with this statement.
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
The only time I would even minutely agree to this would be in a very rare instance where the mother is in critical condition and it was necessary to save her life and the baby would have no chance to survive either way. Life to me is the most precious.
ECONOMY
Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.
Strongly Disagree
The success of our country is based on a free market economy. We are not a socialist country. What makes America great is its ability to allow all Americans to achieve excellence and economic freedom through limited government, private ownership and equal opportunity to succeed. This is the American Dream.
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
I strongly agree. Throughout my decades of experience in the military and government worlds I have seen the over spending and know exactly where and how to cut spending.
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
I believe in a flat tax and reduced pork spending.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
Strongly Agree
I absolutely agree. That is why our founding fathers came to this country.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
I believe in constitutional freedom. I do not believe in mandating anyones life or decisions. Private businesses have the right to conduct their own business as they see fit.
What should be the relationship between the church and the state?
The relationship between church and state is that they need to remain separated. The state should never dictate what the church should do. I do believe this country was founded on a religious base. My Christian beliefs are present in my everyday life.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
There is never a circumstance where government, school or an employer has the right to mandate vaccines.
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.
C.
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.
C.
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
I completely support Israel as an autonomous nation and the U.S. should protect her.
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
China has proven itself to be a threat to the world. Their actions against our country and others require us to sanction and break all economic ties with them. China is in line with those who want a One World Order. This is something that should be fought against with everything this country can muster. We are a free country and must remain to stay that way at all costs.
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
First and foremost, the United States must physically secure our borders and all ports of entry. Second, we must focus on the infiltration already existing in our country and remove it immediately and entirely. There is no place for any type of terrorism on this planet and it must be eradicated.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
We must secure our borders at all entry points period.
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
Any city or state harboring illegal citizens must be dealt with harshly. We must remove illegal citizens accordingly and fix our broken immigration system.
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Vetted individuals who pose no threat to our country and have proven their ability to be contributing members of our society should be allowed to immigrate. Illegals must be dealt with immediately and permanently.
VALUES
Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Disagree
There are two genders. God created male and female. I would not make special accommodations for someone who has chosen to change their bodies; however, they should be respected as any other human being.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
There is no allowance for this toxic Marxist ideology in our country.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a Christian and live my life with these values. My relationship with Jesus Christ is personal and I honor it with my soul.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
Absolutely not. This devalues the integrity of our voting system. Voter and election integrity must be treated with the utmost security.
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
I believe in one day voting, no mail in ballots except for military and those who are disabled and paper ballots. We must ensure complete voter ID and ballot security. Our voting rights are protected by the 15th and 19th Amendments in the U.S. Constitution.
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
Absolutely not. We do not live in a racist society despite the lies of CRT.
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
No, however when it is generalized or used as a false weapon it can be. We are not a racist country.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Agree
Yes.
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.
A.
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?
Very Conservative
I am and have always been a Conservative.
Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).

Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized in either civil or criminal court for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.
Never.
What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
I am an America first, constitutional 2A patriot that will always put the people and country before anything else. I served 21 years in the U.S. Navy. I took an oath to support and defend this country and it’s people. I also took an oath to die for them and that oath still stands today. We must elect fresh warriors into office to fight the battle against those who wish it harm, both foreign and domestic. Election integrity is a must. It’s it time for us all to fight for this country as proud Americans. One Team, One Fight.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Agree
This takes important protections away from our law enforcement during critical split-second decision-making incidences and empowers criminals instead. I support our police officers, first responders and the law. When our officers are afraid to enforce the law in fear of being sued civilly, this diminishes public safety and allows criminals to run the streets. Our officers need our protection so they can protect all of us in the end.
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Strongly Disagree
Absolutely not.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Felons guilty of murder or pedophilia should never see the light of day let alone own a weapon, otherwise our constitution is all we law abiding citizens need for our right to carry a gun. I believe we need to be a constitutional carry country.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
I absolutely disagree.
