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.

Strongly 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?

The decision to have an abortion is never an easy one, and should be between a woman, her God, and her doctor. Like with other medical procedures, there needs to legal regulation set forth, which in this case, was done in Roe v. Wade, and should be respected.


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 Disagree

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.

Disagree

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?

Did not answer


NATIONAL SECURITY

The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.

Disagree


HEALTHCARE

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

Strongly Agree

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

As a legislator, I would work to expand Medicaid in Florida.


ECONOMY

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

Strongly Agree

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

Neutral

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

Did not answer


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?

Family members of immigrants who are already here, immigrants seeking high-demand careers or education, asylum-seekers, refugees.


EDUCATION

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Strongly Agree


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?

No

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

We need to protect our Second Amendment rights, but also protect our citizens. We need to create and implement background checks, create education programs for safe storage, and close the gunshow loophole.


OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly 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?

I hold education, the environment, and healthcare to the same priority, as they are not necessarily separate issues.

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?

Yes. In 2019, the FBI released a report stating that white supremacy is a "rising, pervasive threat" to the United States. (Source: https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/04/politics/fbi-director-wray-white-supremacy/index.html)


JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY

I support the use of Sharia law as a basis for legislation and judicial decisions in the United States.

Disagree


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?

Very Liberal

Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.

Did not answer

What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?

Working in the healthfield, I personally saw how broken our system truly is. I am a behavioral technician for children with autism. While my work helps so many people, so many others are left with little or no options to get the support their children need due to a lack of insurance. Fellow co-workers, many of whom are single parents, don’t make enough to pay the bills. This despite providing an absolutely necessary service to our community! Parents facing the toughest of decisions, including having to send their at-risk children back to school during pandemic. Witnessing these problems, and more, inspired me to no longer be a spectator, but rather a candidate. To fight for all those who need support but can get it within this broken system, struggling to pay the bills, and struggling to make decisions because our leaders failed to act.

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?

Did not answer


VALUES

Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.

Disagree

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

Strongly Agree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I was raised in a Roman Catholic household. Values that I strive to uphold are faith, hope, love, fortitude, justice, temperance, and justice.
