OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

I believe in the child's right to life.

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


ECONOMY

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

As the GRT is a pyramiding tax structure that discourages new businesses from locating to New Mexico and stifles expansion of existing businesses we should follow the sales tax model that our neighboring states have successfully implemented. There must be a constitutional cap on any sales tax to prevent abuse.

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

In NM it's unconstitutional to pass anything but a balanced budget. We must however rein in the rapid expansion of state spending we have seen in NM the last 4 years.

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Agree


iVoterGuide Notes:

Clarification from the candidate submitted after panel evaluation: "Colleges already do receive federal funding that pays for educational programs, such as, but not limited to, the GI Bill, PELL, FSEOG, SMART, TEACH and ACG grants."


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?

I strongly affirm my support of our First Amendment rights, and under no circumstances should government be allowed to close our churches.


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.

Private healthcare options should continue being made available along with Medicare and Medicaid for those who need these healthcare options. People who would like to continue paying for private healthcare should be allowed to do so and not be penalized for not applying for Medicare at 65.

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

Did not answer


NATIONAL SECURITY

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

Did not answer

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.

Did not answer


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?

Did not answer


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.

Strongly Agree

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

Choose not to answer

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

Agree


iVoterGuide Notes:

Clarification from the candidate submitted after panel evaluation: "Marriage belongs to God, the individuals, and their church, not with government."

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 consider myself a Christian whose views, beliefs, morals and values are shaped by and modeled after biblical principles.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?

National voter ID would go a long way in protecting election integrity.


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.

A is closest to my views. I believe that most of us believe in protecting our environment for future generations and we do all we can to make sure that occurs. We don't have to be over regulated to do what's right for our planet, for our home.

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

Agree

Disagree
