OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
I believe that life begins at conception and abortion should not be allowed
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?
We should eliminate the income tax and replace it with a consumption tax. More money in the pockets of of everyday citizens is better for the economy overall
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
I would concentrate on the tax code since are budget is balanced and we have a surplus
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Disagree
If we are going to fund education through college it should only be for education that will actually lead to employment and contribute to the economy. It should especially concentrate on areas that have a shortage of people in that profession.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
If anything the free market should work out these differences.
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
The government should not have been able to close them during the pandemic. The government has no business closing places of worship
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
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
We should continue to monitor individuals that have been associated with groups that intend to harm Americans
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
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?
We should only allow people to come in legally. Preference should be given to individuals that will work in areas that have a shortage or intend to employ Americans
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.
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
Agree
Government should not be in the business of marriage
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 attend church on a regular basis. I am seeking more services that teach biblical truth
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Absentee voting has a potential for fraud. At the very least we should be keeping our voter rolls clean by removing people that have moved or are deceased. This should be done on an annual basis at the very least
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
no. I believe there are groups that benefit from dividing us by our differences. There are people of all races and creeds in America that get along well with others, are able to prosper, and feel safe and secure about being proud Americans.
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.
I believe that we should protect the environment but should not be putting in regulations that hurt the economy and cost American jobs
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Agree

What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
I have a record of standing up for constituents while under immense pressure and will do the same at the statehouse
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
Qualified immunity only protects Officers when they follow proper procedure. It should remain in place
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Strongly Disagree
