QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Only under the the instance where the mother's life would be compromised resulting in her death.

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.

Neutral

Medical decisions should be left up to the family and loved ones.


ECONOMY

What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?

Abolish property tax and shift to a consumption tax.

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

Cut ineffective programs, establish fiduciary committees, incentivize the traditional family unit, establish solid welfare reform, cut expenses and incentives to illegal immigrants, cut any green energy subsidies.

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Strongly Disagree

We need a complete over-haul of our educational system since the governments involvement, however, public education ends at high school, any trade school, college, vocational school, after that should be paid for by the recipient. Vocational training should start in high school classes.


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, freedom of religion and the practice of it is a protected right in our constitution.


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

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?

Domestic Policy: Secure Our Borders, and strong immigration policies should be in place.

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

The Biden administration has lost control of the border; not only should the United States close the border, but Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California should be actively utilizing all available resources to secure, and maintain border crossings.

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

Anyone who is lawfully eligible. America is the greatest country in the world and should be open to anyone eligible who wants to legally immigrate here and prosper.


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'm a Christian conservative.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?

State issued photo identification, secure ballot drop boxes sufficient to population size, clean the voter rolls, random audits, public oversight committees to oversee mail-in ballot requests, stiff maximum penalties for any fraud found.


EQUALITY

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

No

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, however a common sense approach to the relationship between the environment and the economy needs to be addressed. To think that humans have no impact on the environment is arrogance.

I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.

Agree


ABOUT YOU

What do you think is the general purpose of government?

As public servants, the governments purpose is to uphold the constitution of the United States. The preamble to the United States Constitution was succinct on the idea of what government is: "We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

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).

Did not answer

Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized in either civil or criminal court for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.

Never

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

I strongly support the second amendment and will defend our right to bear arms. I have family first principles and want to incentivize the growth and prosperity of the traditional family unit. I support and will fight for school choice and parental rights. No vaccine mandates, the choice to vaccinate should be a private decision between you and your health care provider. I will advocate for and support first responders.


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.

Neutral

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, the second amendment gives us the right to bear arms. The background checks that are in place prohibit the unlawful sale of firearms. We need stiff maximum penalties for those who are in unlawful possession of firearms.

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

Strongly Disagree
