OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

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

Strongly Agree

Abortion is a practice that may go against someone's religion. This is not a constitutional right and should not be federalized or supported with taxpayer dollars

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

Disagree

I believe in the right to try

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Only in the instance of maternal/fetal mortality where it is a life or death decision for the mother. In other words, only when it is a medical necessity.


ECONOMY

Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.

Strongly Disagree

The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.

Strongly Agree

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

It should either be made as a flat tax (i.e. 10% tax no deductions) or remove personal income taxes and have a VAT on new items (computers/electronics/luxury purchases) this should not be done on essentials (groceries, non-luxury clothing, internet service, phone service etc)


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.

Strongly Agree

Right now there is a war against religion -- particularly a war against Christianity. Our constitution protects against this but at the moment the powers that be have been disregarding our rights.

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Strongly Disagree

What should be the relationship between the church and the state?

There should be a separation of church and state although our country was founded on Judeo-Christian values.


HEALTHCARE

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

None. It is a personal choice.

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)Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded. The free market is the best way to control costs for all consumers. Insurance as a whole has driven up costs for individuals.


NATIONAL SECURITY

With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened. B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger. D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.

C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger. Overall we should stay out of conflicts, however if we are facing imminent danger we should of course defend ourselves and secure our borders.

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

We should not be getting involved in this battle.

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.

Strongly Agree

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

Many of the problems that we have faced was due to our involvement in overseas governments. I think that a dialog needs to be opened and that the leaders need to come to a meeting of the minds to avoid future issues.


IMMIGRATION

The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.

Strongly Agree

Build the wall, enforce immigration laws.

State and federal funds shall be denied to any public or private entity, such as a sanctuary city, that is not in compliance with immigration laws.

Strongly Agree

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

I believe that people should be allowed to immigrate to the US as long as they come lawfully. If you come through the door you are welcome, if you come in through the window -- you are likely here to harm us.


VALUES

Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.

Disagree

As this goes against some religious beliefs I would not be able to agree to this as there are implications to businesses that are faith based.

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 am a Christian. I believe we should all value/love each other no matter if there is a difference of beliefs or opinions. I personally believe that we all pray to the same God regardless of what we call Him/Her.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?

Return to paper ballots


EQUALITY

Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.

Strongly Disagree

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

Yes -- right now they are seeking to polarize the various races and pit them against each other. This government sponsored racism and the practice should be abolished. We need to focus on that we are all part of the same race -- the human race.


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

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

Agree

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) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy.


ABOUT YOU

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

Constitutional Conservative.

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

Debate at RLC: https://fb.watch/dWXAx-1MLJ/

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?

Election Integrity, Defend the Border, Stop Human Trafficking, Ban CRT, Ensure children are not exposed to NSFW topics such as sex/gender identity/sexual orientation.


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 think mental health programs should be funded through the Department of Health. It is not something where we would want to defund police. The police are there to defend the public.


2ND AMENDMENT

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

Shall not be infringed was included in the 2nd amendment for a reason. Law abiding citizens should have no restrictions.

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

Strongly Disagree

That would open the door for passengers in cars to sue the manufacturer or car dealership because a driver got into an accident.
