OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Certain circumstances like rape, incest, mother’s life at risk should be an exception, Iam actively researching this issue and seek District 21’s opinion because that is what an Elected Official should do.
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
I am open to discussion. I will vote with District 21’s majority opinion on this matter, that is my job as an elected official.
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
Wheel Tax, Property Tax, and any other unnecessary tax that I can find that will SAVE Hoosier families money.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Funding of Abortions should NOT be taxpayer funded. I would also crack down on taxpayer funded vehicles being used for personal or off-duty non-official business.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Agree
I would support more trade programs rather than colleges so that students don’t just have the book smarts but also on-the-job REAL WORLD knowledge.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Choose not to answer
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
NONE! The government should NOT be able to forcefully close ANY church. Likewise, the government has NO BUSINESS telling ANY Hoosier that THEIR business or that one Hoosier’s job is essential and the other is not. The fact is EVERY SINGLE HOOSIER IS ESSENTIAL to providing for themselves, their families & there should NOT be any restriction of the sort.
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.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
NONE, this is a choice between doctor and patient (and the patient’s parent if under 18).
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
I don’t believe this to be a state official issue, this is a FEDERAL official issue.
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
We should stand with our Israeli Allies.
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?
When they are LEGALLY allowed into the United States and their first act is NOT an illegal one by illegally crossing the border.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Choose not to answer
I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition
Choose not to answer
Federal issue.
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.
Christian.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Day of voting unless the person is out of town on OFFICIAL business for work pre-determined. We also need to go back to paper ballots to decrease fraud. Straight-Ticket Balloting should go away as well.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Did not answer
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.
Did not answer
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.

ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
Government’s purpose is to make CONSTITUTIONAL laws.
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?

No
What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
Any unconstitutional law must be repealed! Vote Gray to Save the Day on May 3rd, 2022.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
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?
Article 1 Section 32 Indiana Constitution: “The People shall have a right to keep and bear arms, for the defense of themselves and the State.” United States Constitution Amendment 2 “…the right of the people to keep and bear arms, SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.” And until the NRA got involved, it was not infringed upon.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
