QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
No abortion should be allowed. However, there needs to be funding to help support children and adults to carry an unborn baby if they can't afford to give birth to a child because of rape or incest.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
My tax dollars should not be spent against my will and against my religious (Catholic) beliefs.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Disagree
This I strongly disagree on. However, I do agree with Hospice being able to medicate a patient in extreme pain until he or she passes away. My father and Grandfather were in extreme pain at the end and through the grace of god and medication, they were able to die naturally with as much comfort as possible.
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
It should be simplified. Everyone should pay into the tax system. We are all benefiting from it services. Some more than others. The federal government has programs that make people dependent on the government instead of taking personal responsibility. I disagree with a majority of the individuals taking our tax dollars who can work and just do not want to. There is also many people who take advantage of the system, and this needs to end. And no illegal alien should get .01 cent of our tax dollars. There should be no New Taxes! Smaller Government, and Less Regulation! President Trump's tax cuts were great for our country and stimulated small business growth and created jobs. I know as one of the small business owners that benefited from his tax breaks.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
If it was not part of the true intent of our US Constitution to be a part of the Federal Government then those programs should cease to exist. For example, funding Planned Parenthood, or subsidizing universities. And there is no way we should be paying off student loans for people that borrowed the money. I paid mine back in full. Give me the State of Florida's budget and I will line item by line item cut out the pork spending.
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
100% NO!
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
Never!
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.
My answer would be (C) if you have an investigation team in place to remove the fraud that takes place.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Never!
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Keep a strong military and make sure they are well funded. It is the number one purpose laid out in our US Constitution. We should remain the worlds #1 superpower.
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.
Choose not to answer
These should be two separate questions. Boycotting a private company is our American God-given right! That goes for any company that takes a political stance. They report to their shareholders and should be held accountable for alienating a large portion of their revenue sources. I fully support one of our greatest allies, Isreal.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
President Trump was on the right path to securing our borders. And ICE should be expanding and all minor or major criminals here illegally should be deported immediately.
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Legal immigration but limited should be allowed. With the exception of skilled and unskilled workers taking American jobs, we have qualified people to fill those positions and for unskilled labor positions, we should fill those with people accepting welfare that have the capacity to work. We should have closed and protected borders. President Trump had the best policies on immigration!
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
100%. Unions destroy the education of our children. Privatizing schools and allowing competition in my opinion would better the education system in America!
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.
I was baptized, raised, and still am a practicing Catholic! I believe in the teaching of the bible! God has truly protected me and through God's grace, I am here today and have the ability to help others by running for elected office.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
The photo ID should also have on the back of a Driver's License a way to scan it to make sure you are a legal American Citizen.
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Remove voting machines and return to voter id checked handwritten ballots. Remove ballot drop boxes. No illegal should ever be allowed to vote. And everyone should vote on election day and the results provide that evening. The only individuals that should be allowed to mail-in ballots should be our overseas military and disabled individuals on disability with the Federal Government.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
We are not a racist country as a whole. This has been fabricated by the liberal left and it started when President Obama took office.
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
Absolutely not! There is no slavery today. And those of us alive today did not participate in slavery.
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) American Citizens can make personal choices regarding their need or desire to help the environment.
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
Energy Independence is a national security threat. We need to be energy independent.
ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, Insure Domestic Tranquility, and most importantly provide for a common defense in order to protect our life, liberties, and our pursuit of happiness. It was never meant to take over the role of each individual state.
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
I would say that I am on the far right of the spectrum. I do believe that each individual has the right to their own freedoms. No one should force their ideology on another. However, if there is misinformation being spread by news and media outlets like CNN we have an ethical obligation to tell the truth and fact check them.
Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).
I have my endorsement from all the Conservative Ministries of Orange County and the Christian Patriots of Central Florida. I have also been interviewed by Fox 35 news, by Robert Moore & Alex Chandler from England which went out to 10 million people. I was hand-selected for this interview by all elected candidates as the most conservative to provide the interview here in Florida specifically pertaining to the Parental Rights bill and the Disney Boycott. I was endorsed by Paint The Trump-Jeff and The Florida Republican Assembly
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 want to correct some of the recent legislation that took coverage rights away from homeowners here in the State of Florida. -Ban Abortion as I believe life begins at conception. -Pass Election Integrity legislation to strengthen what was not done again after 2020. -Pass Constitutional Carry -Create an oversight committee for Judges so if a judge is consistently violating State and Federal minimum jail sentences by letting them walk free or with a small sentence they can be removed from their bench.
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 would give more money to our law enforcement agencies.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
No restrictions. Except, if you have committed a violent crime (Felony) or have been deemed a threat to yourself or others. You should also be of sound mind. I do not support red flag laws.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
Gun dealers and manufacturers did not pull the trigger. The gun did not pull the trigger. The evil that existed in the individual pulled the trigger.
