QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Under no circumstances should a child be aborted. Abortion is murder. Children of rape and incest are children who need protection. The life of the mother needs to be weighed equally with the life of the child. We need equal justice for all ages of humans, and the criminal code needs to be amended to reflect that.

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

Strongly Agree

Abortion providers should be criminalized, not only defunded.

If Roe v. Wade is overturned by the US Supreme Court, how far are you willing to go to roll back North Carolina's statutory abortion law that allows abortion up to 20 weeks?

A child is created in the image of God at fertilization. That is when a human being is created, and that's when they deserve human rights and protections. I do not think we should wait for Roe to be overturned. This is the same court that said black persons were not human beings in the Dred Scott case. The court was defied then, and they should be defied now. They are being defied now for marijuana and immigration, why can't we defy them to defend our children? They may be the Supreme Court, but they are not the Supreme Being. We must obey God rather than men.

I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.

Strongly Disagree

All life, and any age, needs to be protected.

Would you support a limitation on chemical abortion that protects women from taking abortion pills without the care and supervision of a qualified physician?

Yes

Chemical abortion kills a human life. It should not be used with or without supervision of a qualified physician. Abortion is murder, and doctors who proscribe chemical abortions are accessory to murder.


ECONOMY

The government should do more to close the gap between the working class and the wealthy.

Strongly Disagree

The wealth gap is because of government intervention, not in spite of it. Let the free market work and economic disparity will decrease.

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

Reduction in all taxes to start. Fundamentally, either a fair tax (sales tax only) or a flat tax (fixed percentage income tax) is much preferable to the current system.

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?

Under no circumstances.

What should be the relationship between the church and the state?

The State has no jurisdiction over the Church. The State however, is certainly subject to God's laws and boundaries. God sets the standard of what is right and wrong, just and unjust. Any deviation of that standard is by definition an injustice.


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.

D)Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded.

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

Under no circumstances should government, school, public entity, or any business that receives public funding or benefits, require the vaccinations. If we force private businesses to require/not require something, we run into an issue where a Christian baker is forced to bake a gay wedding cake.


EDUCATION

States should allow parents to use the Opportunity Scholarship Program to fund private school for their children.

Strongly Agree

All education funds should be allocated per child, and the parents decide where the child goes, whether that be public, private, or homeschool.

In what situations does a parent not have the right to know what their child is being taught in public school?

The parents have every right to know everything that is taught in school.

When should parents be restricted from speaking in school board meetings?

Parents should not be restricted from speaking at school board meetings. If we enable a system like opportunity scholarships, the school board would actually want to listen to the parents. Otherwise the parents would go elsewhere with their child and the subsequent funding.


VALUES

Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.

Strongly Agree

If the standard is not Christ, then what standard exists at all?

I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.

Strongly Disagree

God created two genders, male and female.

I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.

Strongly Disagree

CRT and Cultural Marxism are huge dangers, and are rooted in racism themselves.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

The triune God, existing of three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Sprit. They existed before time and have no creation, although They created all things and by God's power, hold all things together. This is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, testified by the Word in the 66 divinely inspired books of the Bible. The earth was created in 6 days, after which Adam and Eve brought sin into the world by their disobedience. Jesus entered the world through the womb to redeem humanity, and it is by His name and His name alone that humanity is saved. Because of our sin, we stand condemned already, and need God's grace. This requires repentance (which is a gift), reliance on Him, and reliance on the promise that "All who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." It is not by works that we are saved, so that no one can boast, but it is a gift from God. It is by God's standard that all other standard and authority is derived. This includes all aspects of life- individual government, family government, church government, and certainly civil government. Civil laws are only as good as they align with that standard, which if followed, leaves for a very free and libertarian form of government.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

Voter fraud happens in four categories: Who can vote, who voted, how votes are counted, and how they are complied. Voter ID addresses the second issue, but all issues must be addressed to secure free elections.

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?

There is no silver bullet, but protections must be enacted that address all four areas of fraud: Who can vote, who voted, how votes are counted, and how they are complied.


EQUALITY

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

It's not a domestic security threat, but racism is certainly a sin that can cause major social damage. I think the largest racism advocates now are proponents of CRT and Cultural Marxism.


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) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy.


ABOUT YOU

What do you think is the general purpose of government?

Genesis 9 and Romans 13 most accurately define the purpose of civil government, which is to establish justice and punish evil doers. The federal government should be confined to Article 1 Section 8 in the Constitution.

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

I am of the persuasion that a libertarian line of thinking aligns most with God's law with some exceptions. Some issues might be considered liberal, and some conservative. I think some conservatives have become just a different flavor of socialist.

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?

- Abolish Abortion: It is the leading cause of death in our state. We need equal protection for all ages under the law. - Medical Freedom and Privacy: We cannot allow for a medical apartheid through vaccine passports and mandates. Medical freedom is a basic human right. - Constitutional Concealed Carry: We should not have to purchase our God-given rights back. Twenty states now have permit-less concealed carry, North Carolina should be one of them. - School Choice: Education funds should follow the child, with parents deciding where the child goes, whether that is public, private, or homeschool, with no strings attached.


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

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

Strongly Disagree

We can't allow for two different classes of citizens. If certain laws or consequences apply to some people, they should apply to all people.

I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.

Neutral

This is really a case by case basis. In some cases police should get more training and support. On the other hand, the militarization of police is a real danger. This would need to be evaluated at each instance.


2ND AMENDMENT

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

Freedom or security, which one do you want? We cannot sacrifice our God-given rights to defend ourselves from both crime and red coats. The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

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

Strongly Disagree

Would you support legislation that prohibits biological boys from competing on girls sports teams?
