QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Under no circumstance can I give a reason to which Abortion would be allowed. I believe in the Sanctity of Human Life, and I firmly believe that the Majority of abortions conducted are the genocide of minorities. This hits close to home as I am an African American, and it truly hurts my heart to know, and understand, that many of us die daily from the horrific and violent act of Abortion.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
I believe that abortion-conducting facilities should be unable to have the ability to receive any funds from the government in any form.
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?
Eliminate the State Income Tax for Ohio, slash the gas tax. Move towards a consumption tax and follow in the Great State of Florida's footsteps.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
In the case of the federal budget, I would eliminate any and all funding of abortion including but not limited to pass through abortion provider supporting organizations. I would seek to eliminate funding of any form of transportation of illegals into the United States, fund the wall, fund border patrol, and make sure we have an extremely covered and protected border.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree
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?
Under no circumstance.
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) I believe taxpayer-funded healthcare inflates healthcare costs beyond any form of reasonable cost and that we must seek accountability and cost transparency in healthcare systems.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Under no circumstance.
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
I believe we must have a strong non-woke military that creates peace through strength. We must seek out with our great intelligence organizations, and with forms of unmanned weaponry, the swift and continuous elimination of terrorists in all forms.
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
I support a strong and powerful Isreal.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Build the wall. Man the wall. Use all applicable forms of technology. Mexico's government should use resources to secure their side of the wall as was done when Trump was in office.
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
LEGAL and VETTED immigrants here for LAWFUL purposes including education (not free), work, and other situations that would BRING FURTHER PROSPERITY to AMERICA, not less.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
School choice passage is an important part of my plan for my time in the Ohio House.
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.
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
Strongly Agree
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.
Devoted and passionate 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?
VOTER I.D. Extremely strict requirements to be able to use mail-in balloting such as disabled and military. (if your situation is not applicable, you must vote in person) Audit every single election. No automatic registration.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
As an African American, I am much more worried about our domestic security threats of an open border, defunding the police, and an administration secretly transporting illegals all over America. I am also worried about our woke, weak on-crime judicial systems that let serious offenders out on short terms.
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) I believe firmly in energy independence for America.
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
The preamble to the Constitution. Establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.
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?
Very Conservative
Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).
My social media pages provide years-long and unwavering statements of the beliefs of a strong conservative.
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?
If you vote for me, there will be real and strong conservative solutions brought to the table. I will ease the burden of government, fight for better education for Ohio's children, and fight for the Sanctity of life among our other rights.
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
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Strongly Disagree
I believe in a fully funded and outfitted Police Force.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
ZERO. Criminals will always be able to seek firearms to cause harm and law-abiding citizens must be able to use their Second Amendment rights to protect themselves.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
