Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Under the the enforcement clause of the first amendment, the federal government cannot FORCE any religion on citizens and under the prohibition clause of the first amendment the government CANNOT PROHIBIT the practice of religion by citizens.

With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened.

We need to continue to support our long-standing ally Israel against the very real existential threat it faces daily.

None
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.

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
Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).
I have a long history of advocating for Conservative values both in my private life and in my public service.
Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized in either civil or criminal court for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.
No
What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
I am a strong advocate for parental rights, family independence, medical freedom and strongly support our constitutional rights as given by God and defined in America's funding documents.
VALUES
Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Choose not to answer
Sexual orientation is already a protected class but the fluid and reversible nature of "gender identity" should not be protected under our Constitution.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
As a follower of Christ from an early age, I believe I am called to "love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength and to 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these." Human beings have incredible value to God, and to me. I value protecting human life, from the unborn to the elderly. Life is a gift from God and should be protected. My faith guides my decisions in every area of life.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
Photo ID is essential to securing local, state and federal elections.
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Voter ID should be required in every state and only legal residents should be allowed to vote. Mail in ballots should be restricted to military personnel and those with valid physical handicap. No ballot harvesting.
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
While racism is largely an artifact of a bygone era in history, there remain those who are eager to use race to stir division and violence. Racism is not the root cause of the divide in our nation. The leftists, Democrats and progressive ideology are.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
America needs to return to energy independence.
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- We cannot absolutely destroy the present in hopes of protecting an uncertain future based on controversial and changing "science."
