QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including funds for “family planning,” contraception, or abortion counseling).

Strongly Agree

Electing to physically harm anyone outside of self-defense or punishment for rightly being found guilty in a court of law is wrong. Electing to harm the most vulnerable is even worse. I disagree with the elective taking of a life.

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

I can't think of a situation where it is acceptable to take a life outside of self-defense or punishment for rightly being found guilty in a court of law. Additionally, all reasonable people agree that a heartbeat is an undebatable sign of life.

Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.

Strongly Agree

Why wouldn't a human be protected?

The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.

Choose not to answer

There is more for me to learn around this subject. Who would be responsible for the babies? The parents, donors, or the facility? What changes when the parents are no longer with us? I do not have an answer to share yet.

Existing Federal laws that prohibit the interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs should be enforced.

Strongly Agree


ECONOMY

What is your position on the minimum wage?

I find that the minimum wage is sufficient. A free market allows individuals to add value, which increases their wages.

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

Strongly Agree

List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.

-Levy Limit and truth-in-taxation on property taxes. -Audit the Medicaid program to avoid the pitfalls discovered in other states. -Claw back funding for vacant positions after a certain amount of time. -Create a database of approved designs for government schools to reduce construction cost. -Mandate an appropriate ratio of staff to teacher positions.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

The State can't tell the Church what to do.

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

Strongly Agree


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) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.

C, they should be improved, not expanded.

The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.

Disagree

I am skeptical about government databases of private citizens.


NATIONAL SECURITY

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

Strongly Agree

Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?

Yes. Besides the multiple geopolitical advantages, as a Christian, I support Israel's existence and trust that God's covenant with the children of Israel will stand; therefore, I honor and support it. It makes sense.


IMMIGRATION

I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.

Strongly Disagree

House Bill 318 was enacted to further prevent North Carolina cities and counties from adopting sanctuary policies and required our law enforcement to cooperate with ICE regarding criminal illegal aliens. I was a primary sponsor.


EDUCATION

I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.

Strongly Agree

Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.

Strongly Agree


VALUES

Government should recognize and support the fundamental right and essential duty of parents to direct their child's health and educational well-being.

Strongly Agree

Attempts to transition a child to the opposite sex are harmful to that child and should be prohibited.

Strongly Agree

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 support the expansion of gambling in my state.

Strongly Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I became a Christian in 1999. Since Jesus saved me, I endeavor to love God, love my neighbor, do my part in the great commission, and live in light of my eternal relationship with Him.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree


EQUALITY

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

Strongly Disagree

Biological males should not be allowed to participate in women's sports or occupy biological women's spaces whether it be bathrooms, locker rooms, sorority houses, women's shelters, or prison.

Strongly Agree


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.

Strongly Disagree

What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?

Nuclear.


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

Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.

No.

Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.

No.


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?

Exonerate the innocent and punish the guilty in an appropriate manner.

Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.

Strongly Agree

Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.

Strongly Agree


2ND AMENDMENT

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

I don't know of any further restrictions necessary. However, I think we need to revisit the federal restrictions and implement constitutional carry in North Carolina.
