QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Only when there is a medically documented physically life-threatening emergency for the pregnant woman in the first trimester.

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


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.


NATIONAL SECURITY

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

The United States can help eradicate this threat by taking a more non-interventionist approach to foreign policy, implementing more thorough vetting of all immigrants and refugees and gaining more operational control of all of our borders.

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.

Disagree


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?

None


ECONOMY

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

We should take steps to reduce and eventually eliminate property taxes without implementing a personal income tax.

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

Across the board, zero-based budgeting should be implemented to reduce wasteful spending. We should abandon the "use it or lose it" mentality with regard to state funding. Having dealt with DSHS for many years, I believe that is an agency that would benefit from a systems and processes review.

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

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?

Only those whose qualifications will allow them to fill a void in our workforce, and refugees on a case-by-case basis.


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?

Violent felons who have yet to serve their full term, as well as citizens who are deemed by a court of law to be mentally unfit should not be in possession of a firearm.

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

Strongly Disagree


ABOUT YOU

What do you think is the general purpose of government?

To protect individual liberties.

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?

My legislative priorities would be to protect individual liberties from governmental and private employer overreach, defend parental rights (particularly in education), support law enforcement and first responders, and address sex trafficking.


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 believe that the Bible is the word of God, and that Jesus Christ is our Lord and savior who died for our sins upon the cross.


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 would increase the penalty for large-scale, organized voter fraud to a felony.


EQUALITY

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

Racial supremacy of any type has the potential to be a threat to domestic security.

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.
