QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

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

Disagree

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.

No Answer

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Government should be kept out of the matter, leaving the question to each person for their conscientious consideration.


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.

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.

No Answer

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

Government shall neither prohibit nor endorse the free exercise religion.


NATIONAL SECURITY

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

Strongly Disagree


HEALTHCARE

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

Disagree

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

Libertarians favor a free market health care system, which includes the freedom to purchase health insurance across state lines.


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.

Agree

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

Nonviolent victimless offenders should be released from jail, and prosecutors should be instructed to dismiss those charges in an effort to reduce court costs.


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.

Strongly Disagree

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

Political freedom and escape from tyranny demand that individuals not be constrained by government in the crossing of political boundaries.


EDUCATION

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Strongly Disagree


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?

Yes

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

Libertarians oppose all laws at any level of government restricting, registering, or monitoring the ownership, manufacture, or transfer of firearms or ammunition.


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.

Neutral

In priority order, what three areas of legislation do you propose to author or sponsor if elected?

Criminal justice reform, lower taxation, ballot access reform and voting right.

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

Libertarians embrace the concept that all people are born with certain inherent rights. We condemn bigotry as irrational and repugnant.


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?

No Answer

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

I'm a libertarian, which means my political beliefs are not defined by the terms liberal or conservative.

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

Darryl W. Perry has spent most of his adult life as an advocate & activist for peace and liberty. He's an award winning author, and former radio and TV host. Darryl was a Libertarian Party Presidential candidate in 2016, and in 2013 became the first Presidential candidate to accept cryptocurrency donations. Shortly after the 2016 Libertarian National Convention Perry started a crowd-funded lobbying firm, and is a not-for-hire public-interest lobbyist. Darryl served as Chair of the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire from September 2016 until April 2018.

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 support reducing the size, scope and power of government on all levels, on all issues!


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.

Agree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

Everyone has the right to live in whatever manner they choose, so long as they do not cause unjust harm to another. Everyone has the same rights as everyone else. People don’t have more rights, or fewer rights, because of their place of birth. No person can delegate a right they don’t possess to another person. No person or group has more rights than any other person or group. No group can claim a right not possessed by any member of the group. Since no group of people can have more rights than any individual member of the group, no group can revoke the rights of any other person or group. No law, regulation, statute, or other dictate can rightly infringe on the rights of any person.
