OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
None
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Strongly Agree
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Neutral
I do believe the embryo is a life that should be protected. However, I disagree with the process of using artificial methods of creating and storing embryos indefinitely.
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Agree
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
It means our Government should not establish a "nationalized church" nor use the church as a weapon to force its will on the people.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Yes, it's very important because they are our most loyal ally in the middle east, among other reasons.
HEALTHCARE
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) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.
C: Those two taxpayer funded programs should remain, but methodically reduced in size and coverage. Free market solutions should be the used to augment a trimmed down Medicaid and Medicare program.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Strongly Disagree
ECONOMY
What is your position on the minimum wage?
Minimum wage should be eliminated, so that young and entry level workers can get jobs. Companies/employers should be solely responsible for determining wages/salaries based on market conditions.
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
1) Eliminate non-essential voting technologies, 2) Replace non-functional business licensing technologies, and 3) use my government purchasing expertise to review all agency contracts for waste, fraud, or abuse.
IMMIGRATION
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Agree
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Strongly Agree
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?
To issue appropriate and consistent consequences to criminal behavior.
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Strongly Agree
Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.
Strongly Agree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Outside of private property rights, I don't think there should be restrictions on owning a gun.
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
Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.
No.
Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.
No.
VALUES
Government should recognize and support the fundamental right and essential duty of parents to direct their child's health and educational well-being.
Strongly Agree
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.
Strongly Agree
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Strongly Agree
I support the expansion of gambling in my state.
Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I'm a follower of Jesus Christ, who is the head of my life. I work hard to be a vessel for His power and glory. I believe the entire bible (old and new testament) applies today.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
In Georgia, we must re-establish trust in our election system. This is why my platform includes terminating our current QR code based voting system and using hand-marked paper ballots to create an original source document the voter verifies. We will provide election night results through machine tabulation. Certification will occur after a full hand recount to verify those tabulated results. In concert, we will clean voter rolls. These steps will create trust and confidence in our elections.
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
Biological males should not be allowed to participate in women's sports or occupy biological women's spaces whether it be bathrooms, locker rooms, sorority houses, women's shelters, or prison.
Strongly Agree
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Strongly Disagree
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Oil and natural gas
