OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
Planned Parenthood should NEVER receive a dime of federal, state or local government money.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Never.
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?
-NO taxing social security! -No family should have to pay the death tax. -Simplify the tax code -individuals making less the $25,000 a year should not have to pay taxes. -Eliminating property tax for those 65+ so seniors can stay in their home. -Capital gains not to exceed 15%
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?
The Church should not be limited by the state,. The state does not have jurisdiction over the Church, as outlined in the Bill Of Rights.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
None. Medical freedom, informed consent. If someone wants a vaccine, that is their choice. It is never ok to force any vaccination or medical procedure without consent.
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- Medicaid & Medicare should continue to be available to those who need it. The majority of the 9,500 kids in foster care and the 400,000 nation wide do depend on Medicaid. 65+ who have a fixed income, and those less than 65 who have a disability and limited income fall into the Medicare bracket, and we need to continue to make this available.
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.
D) We should stay out of foreign conflicts, unless our Sovereignty is in danger, or our Allies are in danger. Israel for example is our greatest Ally, we have a moral and strategic obligation to protect our strongest Allies.
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
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?
1. Secure our southern border, ISIS and other terrorist organizations are walking over our wide open border into our country. 2. We do NOT negotiate with terrorist, we make examples out of anyone who even threatens our National Security sending a strong and clear message we will not tolerate terrorism, or terroristic threats .
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
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?
In order to seek U.S. citizenship, all applicants should be thoroughly vetted. Anyone that has a history of violence, drug use, gang related affiliation needs to be denied citizenship. Anyone who tries to enter the U.S. illegally should be deported immediately. The bill to extradite the person who came illegally should be sent to the country said person came from. If the Nation the person came from refuses to pay, we deduct the money from the inevitable foreign aid money that is being provided from the country of the individuals origin.
VALUES
Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
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 Christian first. In all things I give God the glory, Jesus Chris is my Lord and Savior.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
You must have an ID to vote, you must be a citizen to vote. The ONLY early voting should be for Military members. We vote every 2, and 4 years. It is an honor to be apart of a country where such freedom exists, if we can make it to the grocery store you can vote in person every 2 and 4 years.
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. Every country in the world has a past they may not be particularly proud of. We have learned from our past, and have moved on. We cannot hold future generations accountable for events that have happened in the past. The reason there is any tension in our communities at all is because of the main stream media putting people against one another.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
In order to be energy independent we must allow for fracking.
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. Too many regulations that are more often than not completely useless and counter productive are hurting our economy and are making us reliant on other countries which is completely unnecessary. The U.S. can and will be energy independent as soon as we eliminate the red tape the left has created.

Very Conservative

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?
The first thing we need to do is secure our border, and our elections. We need to cut wasteful spending and we need to call out those within the Republican & Democrat party who are funding each others pet projects and raising the debt ceiling. We need to take care of our Veterans, keep our police funded and restore law and order. Our Constitution needs to be respected again, as it protects our God Given freedoms our Great Nation was founded on. The United States is the last place on earth our God Given freedoms are protected, if we want to defend our Nation, we must have the courage to fight for them now.
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.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
