QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
None, there is no medical reason to kill an innocent life. https://youtu.be/5TmomK2RB2A
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
Strongly Agree
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
What should be the relationship between the church and the state?
State and federal entities should stay out of the church. https://wallbuilders.com/separation-church-state/
NATIONAL SECURITY
With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened. B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger. D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.
B
I support the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement to pressure Israel to withdraw from occupied territories, remove the separation barrier in the West Bank, allow full equality for Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel, and promote the rights of Palestinian refugees.
Strongly Disagree
We should stand beside Israel.
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Be alert and vigilant with any and all threats coming in our country.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
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. (includes "universal healthcare," "medicare for all," etc.) B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options. C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. D)Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded.
C
ECONOMY
Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.
Strongly Disagree
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
Changes should be made with regard to low income families. It is time to take a long hard look at how we are taxing individuals as well as to what purpose and to what ends. We tend to forget tax money is the American people's money for the use of the American people and should be used as the American people see fit. Not a never ending surplus used by elected officials in ways that do not benefit or help the American people. Governmental spending must be put in check.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
WE are being INVADED. Children are in danger and people are dying.
State and federal funds shall be denied to any public or private entity, such as a sanctuary city, that is not in compliance with immigration laws.
Strongly Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
People who want to come in and abide by our laws, respect our customs, and honor our heritage. Legally... they should enter our country legally. Follow all the protocol and procedures necessary to come into this country the legal and correct way.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Strongly Agree
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Strongly Disagree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
None. The words "Shall not be infringed" are crystal clear.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
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).
Local newspapers, Facebook posts, Exceptionally Conservative podcast, and Net News Radio Alabama Politics
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?
My legislative priority is you. I will be a representative who will put your interests above my own. I will work for you, fight for you, communicate for you, pray with you, honor you, seek your input, defend you, advocate for you, listen to you, and speak for you at every opportunity given. This district is your home and your voice needs to be heard.
VALUES
Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
We are created by God male and female with a distinct purpose.
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.
I am a sinner saved by grace through Jesus Christ's death and resurrection. God is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Revelation 22:13 God made everything, is in control of everything and one day every knee will bow and every tongue will confess Jesus is Lord. Philippians 2:10-11 I am a Christian who believes that Jesus alone is the way, the truth and the life, and no one comes to the Father except through him. John 14:6 The Holy Bible is God's word and it was breathed out by Him. 2 Timothy 3:16 I believe that whoever believes in Jesus as Savior will be saved. John 3:16 I believe in a 1 Corinthians 13 love and I believe in putting others needs before my own. Philippians 21-4. I believe in one race - the human race and I believe all life is precious no matter the stage or circumstance. To summarize, I believe in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit and every word in the Holy Bible.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
We should propose laws to make it harder to cheat and easier to vote. When one person votes illegally it silences a legal vote and takes away the voice of an American citizen. The states should update the voter registry regularly and make sure poll workers know the laws and protocol for every situation they will possibly be exposed to so they understand steps and procedures. Anyone who unlawfully engages in any practice that lowers or jeopardizes election integrity in any way should be held accountable for their actions. Election machines should be heavily regarded for integrity issues as states deem appropriate. All election and voting issues, laws, and proposals should be handled by each individual state.
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?
No, The United States is not racist. The American people are not racists. Washington is pushing racism to further divide this country because they know if we are divided they can control us. We are not a divided people - WE ARE AMERICANS -One Nation, Under God, INDIVISIBLE - with liberty and justice for all. It is time to believe in this great country again and to believe in ourselves again.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
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.
