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 Agree
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Anytime in the first trimester. It is the individuals decision and does not concern the government. If the mother's life is at risk or if the child is going to be born deformed or disabled an abortion could take place later, but not after birth because that would be murder.
ECONOMY
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.
Strongly Disagree
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
I would no longer provide healthcare or education for illegal aliens. I would audit every agency to determine and remove those agencies that infringe on The Constitution of California. I would require every agency to go through a vigorous assessment of contracts they are responsible for. I would introduce limits on the amount of time someone can receive unemployment benefits and make these benefits less than the minimum wage to encourage people to actively seek employment.
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
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.
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
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
None
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
Despite the 1947 ruling of church and state, the Founding Fathers never intended that Judeo-Christian principles be infringed on by the state. However, the Founding Fathers always intended that Judeo-Christian principles would be imbedded at every level of government.
HEALTHCARE
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.
Strongly Disagree
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
Undertaking Tort Reform to limit frivolous lawsuits against physicians and allowing cross state insurance of individuals whilst providing a safety net for those who can't afford insurance. By allowing more competition for insurance companies, it will in turn create a more competitive marketplace and creating lower prices for insurance.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.
Strongly Agree
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 Agree
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 Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Only the best and brightest.
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality that 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.
Don't do good things expecting good things in return. Just be a good person without thinking about it. Do unto others as you would want done unto you. What goes around, comes around. You catch more flies with honey than you do with garbage. I am not religious, I have no religious affiliation. For me to be labeled as anything would be an insult. I am Leo. Nothing more, nothing less. Just Leo. Is there a God? I don't know, but sometimes it's comforting to think there might be.
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?
Conservative
Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
I am Fiscally Conservative and I believe in upholding The Constitution. Low taxes on businesses, income, and sales. No inheritance taxes. I am against ILLEGALE IMMIGRATION, but I'm not against immigration. Just follow the rules we have, go through the proper channels and do it LEGALLY. I don't care who you have sex with, so long as it is not children or animals. I believe in SMALL GOVERNMENT. If you let people make their own choices 9 times out of 10 they will make the right decision. I believe in Freedom of Religion. Gun Ownership is what gives Americans freedom and the power to overthrow a dictatorship. Free Speech cannot and shall not be infringed on no matter how much you dislike what someone is saying. Children should recite the Pledge of Allegiance everyday at the start of school. You must respect the flag and stand facing the flag for the National Anthem. Veterans deserve the utmost respect and should be entitled to quality healthcare.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
Having been Vice President of Zacky Farms and a Board member of the California Poultry Federation I have a unique understanding of Business and Politics, making me an expert on what makes California the World's 5th Largest Economy.
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 a regular person just like you. I play ice hockey, drink beer, shoot guns, and love my country. And like you, my friends come from all walks of life, race, color, religion, and sexual orientation. However, like you I am frustrated and upset with how my home state has deteriorated over my lifetime, and I am compelled to run for Governor of California. I have been left no choice but to enter the public arena to restore California back to its former glory. As I did at Zacky Farms, I will not be afraid to roll up my sleeves and get to work. I am wiling to work in all aspects of California to shrink and streamline government, and to make California more efficient, profitable, habitable, affordable, fair and enjoyable for everyone. Under my governance California will again become the envy of the world. This isn't about left or right, or Democrat or Republican. It's about all of us working together as one. We are team California. Let's fix our home together.
JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY
I support the use of Sharia law as a basis for legislation and judicial decisions in the United States.
Strongly Disagree
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
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?
Illegal Aliens, Violent Felons, The Mentally Unstable, and those who have not demonstrated to have an understanding of basic gun safety should not be allowed to own firearms.
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
The Electoral College should be abolished.
Strongly Disagree
In priority order, what three areas of legislation do you propose to author or sponsor if elected?
1. Eliminating any and all Covid Related mandates, rules, and restrictions, while making it illegal for anyone or business to require mandatory vaccinations, and establishing measures to insure that a vaccine passports will never happen now or in the future. 2. Voter ID requirements for every election and voter registration purging after every election. 3.Closing the boarder to illegal aliens and stopping any citizen entitlements that illegal aliens receive.
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
No it is not because the vast majority of people in this nation are not racist. Using racism as a blanket threat to domestic security will only help take rights away from citizens by eroding our First Amendment rights and pushing us closer to tyranny.
