HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Generally, I would not support mandates. I believe the vast majority of Americans would voluntarily comply with vaccines if facts on mortality indicated the necessity to have them. Most people would seek treatment at a 2% mortality rate. Political meddling in health policy only creates mistrust. Honesty regarding the need and efficacy of treatment are the way to gain cooperation.

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. Ultimately, The U. S. should transition away from government involvement in healthcare. This would need to happen over a decade or more. Health sharing plans and catastrophic insurance plans can offer a way forward, there is no free lunch in healthcare. Medicare for all is NOT the answer.

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.
C. There are always exceptions to any situation. Nation building has not served us well. If you are going to send people to die in any conflict, you should be willing to use whatever force you need to use to end it as quickly as 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
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
China is an enemy of the United States. They should be treated as such. This country has been sold out by weak politicians and leftist tech giants who are banking on a world dominant China.

What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
You will never eradicate this threat. You just have to be willing to actually call it what it is. The price for terrorism must be made to be so high that no one sees it as a viable tactic. We failed to make that clear after 9-11 and will most likely pay because of it.

IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
This issue will only be solved by deploying the military to the border to STOP people from entering the country illegally. Democrats and Republicans both know this. They just lie about their concern regarding this issue. The border wall will help, but you have to make it clear that people will not be allowed to enter illegally

Strongly Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Those people who have a skill or capability that benefit America. Others who are victims of oppression on a case-by-case basis.

Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Paper ballots should be required. State issued photo identification should be required. Voting tabulation that does not require internet transfer of data and spot audits should be required.

EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
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?
Racism is not. Trying to convince people that America is inherently racist is. This narrative only comes from leftists. The United States is more diverse, offers more people economic opportunity, and has done more to right the wrongs of the past than any country on earth. It is not perfect, but it is the best place to live I know. Are there individuals who are racist? Yes. They come from all races.

What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
The United States is under attack by Leftist political forces and has been ill served by weak Republicans. The debt, Immigration, China, and Out of control bureaucracies will only get worse if you continue to vote for those people who brought you our current situation.

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
As a former Police officer, I would like to offer some advice to the general public. Please be cooperative, Things almost always end better for everyone involved. Police officers do not look for confrontation. There are bad officers, but they are the exception. Not every situation will end as you would like, but resisting arrest or fighting with the police is always a bad idea.

I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Strongly Disagree
Teaching respect of life and the property of others would solve a lot of problems. It really is not that hard to keep yourself out of jail.

2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Almost none. It is already illegal for felons to own or possess firearms. Society would be better off teaching people to value life. Almost every serious crime in this country is committed by people who have multiple arrests and convictions. Deal with the individual. Criminal accountability is the answer.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
