OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
None
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
Ideally, institute a FLAT TAX
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
I’d start with DPHHS and Education to find unnecessary spending.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
None
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)Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded.
A right to healthcare is not in the Constitution. It is not government’s job to provide health care. I would not just cut off Medicare, because seniors were forced to pay into it expecting certain benefits. But I would phase it out. I also think that the whole process by which we pay for healthcare must change, so people can actually pay. Insurance should only cover catastrophic issues. There is a lot of innovation going on that is promising. None of this is to say that there is no place for a temporary safety net. But state policies should always encourage independence and personal responsibility.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
I’m OK with suggesting, but not requiring. This is a personal medical choice made by individuals or parents. Military members headed out of CONUS could be exceptions, as long as religious, conscience-based or medical waivers are easily available.
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Profile. Do real policing, not all of the sensitivity nonsense. I am pro-law enforcement and support allowing them to do their jobs.
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
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Complete the wall! Support Border Patrol!
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
As the child of an immigrant, I am not anti-immigration. But I think we need to stop all immigration for a time to sort out who’s here and what to do with them. After that, let’s allow limited immigration of people who truly want to be American - requiring certain actions and education to assist in assimilation. Beyond that, there is way more to this question than I can answer here. But I DO think illegals should be deported and the border must be secured.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Strongly Agree
I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
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 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 an imperfect Christian who believes many of our traditional values are beneficial in keeping families together, the foundational institution of our society.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Ultimately, I’d like to see a single Election Day when everyone votes. That day would be a holiday so people could vote throughout the day. I’d allow absentee ballots for voters who apply and can say why they will not be able to vote on Election Day.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Yes, but the problem comes from Democrat politicians who continue to insist that people of color continue to be victims of imaginary wrongs. The truth is that America is the least racist society in the world. But there are politicians who need people to believe they are oppressed, and then promise solutions in order to garner a voting block. This is wrong, and does a disservice to those voters.
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
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.
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
Defense and safety of its citizens.
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).
My 2021 legislative voting record, found on leg.Mt.gov
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 believe strongly in traditional values and believe the family is the fundamental institution of our society. Marriages and families must be supported and strengthened. My legislative priorities are reining in rogue courts, education choice, reforming the criminal justice system and eliminating all abortions in MT.
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
Most offenders are not mentally ill. They make bad choices and should suffer the consequences.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Convicted felons should not be able to own guns.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
