QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

None. It's murder.

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

Strongly Agree

That money should instead be allocated for foster care, adoption agencies, and rehabilitation programs for expecting mothers and fathers.

Do you support the proposed Yes for Life amendment to the Kentucky Constitution, which makes clear that there is no state constitutional right to abortion?

Yes

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

Disagree

I disagree with any taking of a life. God created life and so it is His, only, to end.


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. The government does not control the churches.


NATIONAL SECURITY

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

The federal government must protect our borders and flush out sleeper cells.

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.

The government should not be providing healthcare for individuals; insurance companies and hospitals should not be allowed to inflate the costs as they do. The entire process needs an overhaul. In the meantime, only US Citizens should be allowed to benefit from any government program that aids in healthcare expenses.

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

I don't believe anyone has the right to tell another person what they have to inject into his/her body.


ECONOMY

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

We should not have to pay taxes on items we already own.

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

Foreign studies Illegal immigrant compensations

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Disagree

Though, college tuition should be more affordable.


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?

Individuals who have been thoroughly vetted and have no ties to terrorist groups or cartels should be allowed to immigrate to the US legally, but also required to uphold our Constitution.


EDUCATION

The state should fund education by allowing dollars to follow the child instead of the bureaucracy, through a program which allows parents the freedom to choose their child's school – public, private, or homeschool.

Agree


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.

Disagree

While I strongly agree that mental health and community programs should be funded, I do not believe it should come at the expense of the police departments.


2ND AMENDMENT

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

No restrictions. The public will protect its own safety when restrictions are removed.

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

Strongly Disagree


OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES

Do you support the expansion of gambling in Kentucky?

Choose not to answer

Limited, possibly.

The LGBTQ+ agenda’s advocacy for puberty blockers, biological males competing on girls’ sports teams, and allowing biological males into girls’ restrooms, locker rooms, and showers threatens the wellbeing of our children.

Strongly Agree


ABOUT YOU

What do you think is the general purpose of government?

Government was established for unity, justice, national defense, and protection of our God-given (not government-given) rights.

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?

Conservative

Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).

n/a

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?

I'm only running because there is a lack of concern for the common citizen's rights and values. The government is overreaching and trampling God-given rights and I am driven to stop the agenda fueling it.


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.

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. Every decision I make is meant to honor Jesus Christ who gave His life to save me. His commands for me are to love the Lord God with all my heart, soul, mind and strength, and to love my neighbor as I love myself.

Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition

Strongly Agree


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Disagree

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?

The ballot accepting machines should not have access to the internet.


EQUALITY

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

Only when the Commander in Chief decides to fill seats based on the color of a person's skin is racism a threat.

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! Not to mention, the environmental "Green" movements are being funded and manipulated to undermine our economic stability and independence by domestic and foreign enemies of the USA.

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

Neutral

There are detrimental repercussions that I haven't thoroughly researched, though I do think we need to use the resources that are at our disposal.
