OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.
No Answer
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds or grants from federal, state, or local governments.
No Answer
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?
Here is my thought when it comes to abortion; First thing is this, unless you are a woman and had to make that decision to abort a child or even contemplate the thought of ending a life, then you do not know what woman go through not only physically but mentally. Every woman who even thinks about aborting a unborn child has their own reason for even thinking about it, and not all circumstances are the same. I know being a woman and if I was forced to have sex and got pregnant, knowing that child was conceived in hate and not love, it would be difficult to accept and carry. Yes, we women carry a life, but sometimes it is better to end that life before it begins in the real world, and to be honest with you..I wouldn't want to bring a child into this world right now, just so I could give birth and have it shot at school or on the street. A abortion is a very tough decision a woman has to make and I think it should be up to the female human carrying that embryo, not up to judges.
ECONOMY
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.
Agree
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Agree
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
well since I am running for state represenative here in the 99th district of Michigan, which btw is the poorest county in our state, one thing I would work on is getting housing/living cost down or income up so people will stop losing their homes and towns will keep their residents and build up not fall down.
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.
No Answer
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.
No Answer
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
Did not answer
I promise to protect the freedom of Christians to share the Gospel and to practice Biblical principles.
No Answer
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
just that.. separation of church and state
HEALTHCARE
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.
Agree
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
me personally, I think we should have birth to death insurance that includes your whole body, not just the internal medicine, because when your mind is right your body is right and when you have good teeth you can eat better which in turn keeps you healthier. Insurance should cover the entire body from head to toe and everything in between and every American should have it. Now how to make it affordable and accessible for all, we, again as a whole need to figure out something that works for everyone [obviously Obama care didn't work].
NATIONAL SECURITY
The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.
Disagree
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.
No Answer
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
my great great grandparents were immigrants.
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.
No Answer
I support adding sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression as protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
No Answer
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I grew up attending church and believing in God and reading the Bible numerous times. But as I got older and I realized you can't have something out of nothing, [and I read Stephen Hawking's book] and that's when I started believing in energy and how it runs our world and right now in this world there is so much negative energy going around with all this hate going on and we as a human race, not as a color, or religion, or a sexual orientation, but as people who live on a planet that floats in space [again, energy] need to just realize we are who we are and we can't choose our genetics or how we are raised and stop with this skin color non-sense, and just let people live their lives the way that makes them happy.
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?
No Answer
Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
We are a society of human beings that just come from different parts of the world and we have become so engulfed on things that don't matter and forgetting what does, our lives! Our economy was good [America has never been great] post war when the job market and income matched, where people could live on 1 income and still purchase things, which in town stimulates our economy and right now, especially with the covid thing going on and jobs are lost, our economy is in for a economic collapse if we don't find balance in our income and cost. We as American's [the greatest country on the planet] should stop worrying about a wall to stop immigration and maybe try and help the countries in need so the people don't need to leave, there has to be a different way of dealing with others wanting to come to this so called great land besides building another Berlin Wall, we are human beings in search of a good existence is that so bad?
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
I attended a few college's throughout my years, and even though I don't have experience in politics, I have experience in life and sometimes that is better because the people can relate to someone who knows what it's like to live on $700.00 a month, who knows that bullying is real and addiction exists.
Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.
nope
Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
I am not running for office because I can or for the money, I am doing it because towns are collapsing and people are dying along with our planet and someone needs to get in office and make a positive difference in this area and maybe surrounding areas
JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY
I support the use of Sharia law as a basis for legislation and judicial decisions in the United States.
No Answer
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Mandatory minimum sentencing should be required and enforced for violent crimes.
Strongly Disagree
2ND AMENDMENT
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
No Answer
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Guns do not kill people, people kill people. I am a hunter and from a young age I learned how to respect this tool that can kill and it is so sad to see that people are so quick to jump to the draw and shoot, what people need to do is before they react, stop take a deep breath and think about the consequences of the action.
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.
Strongly Agree
In priority order, what three areas of legislation do you propose to author or sponsor if elected?
clean water equality for all balance our economy
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
oh good lord, I am so sick of the "racism" stuff, WE ARE ALL ONE RACE...THE HUMAN RACE!!...PERIOD!
