OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.

Strongly Agree

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds or grants from federal, state, or local governments.

Strongly Agree

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.

Strongly Agree

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

none


ECONOMY

It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.

Disagree

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

Strongly Agree

How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?

There should be legislation the keeps congress from borrowing from the Social Security fund.

What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?

We have a need to reduce spending on welfare programs, I would seek to cut foreign aid except to Israel, phasing out subsidies in all industries, and working to limit the overall size and scope of the federal government.

Under what circumstances should taxpayers help pay off existing student loans?

For those who serve in the US military and coast guard.


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 separation of Church and state means the government can not force any individual to worship a state sponsored religion. It prevents the government from mandating when citizens are to attend Church and where to attend Church. It serves to protect the Church from the government.


HEALTHCARE

It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.

Strongly Disagree

I support the elimination of private healthcare insurance.

Strongly Disagree

How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?

By allowing true, free market competition. It is not the job of the federal government to ensure healthcare for all, I would work to cut regulatory burdens and promote legislation that ensures fairness in the market.


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?

Make sure our military is ready to defend liberty and and freedom at all times.


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.

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.

Agree

Employers should be required to use E-verify to confirm the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States.

Agree

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

We should not lock out the world, but we must focus on the protection of Americans. We should only allow immigration from countries with no ties to terrorism.


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.

Strongly Agree

I support adding sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression as protected classes in non-discrimination laws.

Strongly Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a Christian, and I believe the Bible is the foundation of the Constitution. My faith is the reason I am seeking office.


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?

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?

I am an average Louisianian. I am a welder, a father, and a concerned citizen. I only wish to return the governing authority back to the people of these United States. I wish to author legislation for term limits, and to end the Congressional Pension Plan, forcing congressional leaders to contribute to SS. I believe that elected officials should have to re-enter the work force and live under the laws they have passed.


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

Mandatory minimum sentencing should be required and enforced for violent crimes.

Neutral
