OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.
Strongly Agree
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds or grants from federal, state, or local governments.
Strongly Agree
I support the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which requires health care providers to provide life-saving treatment for infants who survive an attempted abortion.
Strongly Agree
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Did not answer
ECONOMY
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
As the budget chairman in the House of Representatives, I authored multiple budgets that resulted in a $500 million surplus for the state of Missouri. You can view those budgets at House.mo.gov. Budgets were largely balanced by reducing pilot programs, corporate welfare, and limiting entitlement spending, while fully funding the education formula.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Governments should not discriminate against individuals, organizations or small businesses because of their belief that marriage is only a union of one man and one woman.
Strongly Agree
Governments should define marriage as between one man and one woman; no other definition of marriage should be legalized or supported with taxpayer or public funds.
Did not answer
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
Strongly Agree
I promise to protect the freedom of Christians to share the Gospel and to practice Biblical principles.
Yes
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof

NATIONAL SECURITY
The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.
Agree
IMMIGRATION
I am in favor of construction of a wall and other necessary infrastructure on our border that gives complete control over entering and exiting the United States.
Strongly Agree
State and federal funds should be denied to any public or private entity, including but not limited to sanctuary cities, that are not in compliance with immigration laws.
Strongly Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Did not answer
EDUCATION
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.

ABOUT YOU
When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and immigration, which of the following best describes you overall?
Very Conservative
Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
My voting record as a member of the Missouri House of Representatives can be viewed at house.mo.gov
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
I have a degree in business from the University of Missouri. More importantly, I started a business in high school that is now one of the largest in its industry, employing dozens of Missourians generating a multi million dollar payroll in our state. I spent six years in the House of Representatives working on the state budget, and delivered the largest surplus in over a decade as the chairman of the budget committee.
Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.
No
Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
I am a father of twin boys, Luke and Carson, and a husband to Mallory. I am a business owner with around 60 employees who didn't spend his childhood planning to be in politics. I ran for office for the first time because I was frustrated with my interactions with government as a small business owner. I serve in public office because I want to hold bureaucrats accountable for how they spend taxpayer money and help people who are being treated unfairly by the government.
JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY
I support the use of Sharia law as a basis for legislation and judicial decisions in the United States.
Strongly Disagree

Mandatory minimum sentencing should be required and enforced for violent crimes.

The Electoral College should be abolished.
Strongly Disagree
In priority order, what three areas of legislation do you propose to author or sponsor if elected?
Did not answer
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
While I do not believe "racism is a threat to domestic security" We all need to do a better job of loving our neighbor, and respecting opposing viewpoints without becoming hostile towards one another.
