QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

I support the heartbeat bill

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?

We should always be looking for ways to limit taxation. That begins with limiting additional costly/excessive and duplicate regulations. We continually spend money on things that are nice to have but not necessary to have; always at a cost to taxpayers.

What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?

Over regulation and federal government over-reach is killing businesses especially mom and pops. Over regulation has skyrocketed the cost of health care.

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?

Never


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.

C. I agree with medicaid and medicare for our senior, all other health insurance should be privately funded. If we would cut the red tape and excessive regulations in healthcare the price would come down and be more affordable

Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?

Never


NATIONAL SECURITY

What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?

We must fund stronger national security. The safety of our country and its citizens is paramount and all effort should be put in to monitoring tracking our enemies with all means possible.

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

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

work, marriage, education, a better life as long as it is done legally. All immigrants should respect the rules of our country just like it is expected in every other country in the world. Criminals can not be given passage in to our country. We have every right as a nation to have a protected border and our government must prioritize it.


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

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 lifelong Catholic


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?

I do not agree with expanding voting practices beyond where they are today. Blank ballots can not be bulk mailed, drop offs must be supervised, picture id is required with your vote.


EQUALITY

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?

We are not a racist country. We are the greatest Nation in the world. The racist finger pointing by the left is pandering to black Americans for votes. The racism war that is happening in our country right now is a threat to democracy because the activist's sole purpose is to is grab power for the democrats

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?

Maintain the rule of law, uphold our constitution and protect and defend our Nation.

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?

What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?

I served as Mayor for two terms in a Triple AAA financial rated city. My Council cut taxes every year I was Mayor including raising the homestead exemption to the highest allowed by the State (20%) and my last three years we cut the tax rate, the last two years to below the effective rate. We paid cash for projects and increased police spending every year. When far right students and parents demanded we remove SRO's from our schools because they caused PTSD in some students. We refused .During my 2 terms we added additional SROs to both our High School and Senior High School.

I agree with current Texas Law and would not support any further regulations on gun ownership/carrying

Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
