Strongly Agree

Under no circumstances should ANY American tax dollars be used to fund abortions or Planned Parenthood.

Strongly Agree

I am a staunch supporter of pro-life initiatives and legislation. Abortion should only be allowed in the cases of rape, incest, and when the life of the mother is at stake.

While I advocate strongly for reducing federal overreach and empowering states to govern on most issues, the protection of life is a fundamental moral and constitutional matter where federal action can be justified. If elected, I would support federal legislation that advances the pro-life movement and protects the unborn. I would support any opportunity I would have in protecting the innocent lives of the unborn.

I would advocate for the following steps and actions: broad-based tax cuts across the board especially for small businesses, cut wasteful government spending, reduce our national debt, cut government red tape, and foster a thriving economy.

Strongly Agree

My view on this is simple. If you take out a loan, you have the responsibility of paying that loan back.

No

I believe that society benefits when its leaders are guided by strong moral and ethical principles. This separation does not mean that elected officials, should leave their personal beliefs and moral values at the door. Our beliefs inevitably shape our character and decision-making. As a Christian, my faith informs my understanding of moral responsibility, compassion, and integrity. My own moral compass, guided by my religious beliefs, helps inform the policies and legislation I advocate for.

Strongly Disagree

Under no circumstances should a vaccination or any other medical decision be mandated by our government, schools, or employer. We saw the consequences of mask, vaccine, and shutdown mandates during COVID. It should never happen again.

Option C. While we must honor the commitment we have made to prior generations of hardworking Americans, we should not take steps to expand on any tax-payer funded programs. Our national debt has surpassed a record breaking $34 trillion in debt, that we are handing down to the next generation of Americans. Steps must be taken to reduce our national debt and that starts with not adding more debt to each taxpayer.

My foreign policy view aligns most closely with Option B. The U.S. should selectively support nations striving for democracy and combating tyranny, but always with an 'America First' approach. Our involvement must strategically align with our national interests. Blank checks for overseas conflicts, like in Ukraine, are unsustainable, devalue our dollar, and undermine our economy. We must prioritize our resources and avoid putting taxpayers on the hook for any foreign conflict.

Strongly Agree

I firmly believe that China poses significant military, cyber, and economic threats. First, China should not own ANY American land. This is also why we need strong leaders across the board. President Biden has made disastrous foreign policy decisions which has resulted in bloodshed and chaos. As a veteran, I understand the gravity of these challenges and the need for strong, experienced leadership in Congress to address them effectively and safeguard our national security.

Yes, the United States' relationship with Israel is vital. As our steadfast ally in the Middle East, Israel plays a crucial role in regional stability and security. This partnership is grounded in shared democratic values and strategic interests. Supporting Israel helps deter threats in a volatile region and is integral to our own national security and foreign policy interests.

The decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention is significantly impacted by the current administration's agenda. Recruits are deterred by the reality of weak leadership by President Biden, and the focus on a 'woke' agenda, including the vaccine mandate. Service members seek strong, decisive leadership that prioritizes national security and American values over political agendas. We need a commander-in-chief who puts America First, inspiring confidence and respect in our armed forces.

Strongly Agree

Securing our border is critical. Completing the border wall and bolstering support for our Border Patrol agents are essential steps to control illegal immigration, combat drug trafficking, and ensure national security. A strong, secure border is fundamental to maintaining our sovereignty and protecting American citizens. We must prioritize effective border policies immediately. President Biden has failed and betrayed the American people with his open-border policies.

Only those who follow the law and follow the proper steps of applying for US citizenship.

Strongly Agree

As a father of two daughters, yes, I strongly support school choice. In an era where select educators impose personal, religious, and political beliefs in the classroom, it's crucial that parents retain full control over their child's education. School choice empowers families to select the best educational path, ensuring that our children learn in environments that align with our values and set them up for success.

Agree

Strongly Agree

Strongly Agree

Protecting our children and providing the best life possible is a parent's top priority. Today's radical and divisive educational agendas endanger this. We must halt this indoctrination and focus on equipping our children with the tools and resources they need to thrive. It's about educating while nurturing their success, not indoctrinating them with radical ideologies.

Strongly Disagree

Under NO circumstances should American or North Carolinian taxpayers fund gender transition services or operations.

As a Christian, my faith is the cornerstone of my life and shapes my values and actions. I believe in living a life guided by integrity, compassion, and service to others, principles deeply rooted in my spiritual beliefs. My faith teaches me the importance of family, community, and a commitment to defending the vulnerable. It drives my dedication to serve as a leader who upholds these values in every decision. In Congress, I'll strive to represent my constituents with the same moral conviction and ethical standards that my faith instills in me, always aiming to reflect the love and justice central to my Christian beliefs.

Strongly Disagree

Securing our elections is paramount. Ensuring every vote counts requires reliable verification methods. I support mandatory photo ID with a CONFIRMED address for voting. This simple, effective measure helps prevent fraud, maintaining the integrity of our electoral process. Fair elections are the bedrock of our democracy, and it's crucial we protect them with robust, practical safeguards.

Strongly Disagree

Strongly Disagree

Critical Race Theory has no place in our schools. It indoctrinates rather than educates, dividing us by race and undermining the unity of our nation. We should instead foster a curriculum that promotes patriotism and a deep love for the United States, celebrating our shared values and the opportunities our great country offers to everyone. Our children deserve to learn in an environment that uplifts and provides them with the tools necessary to succeed.

Strongly Agree

As a husband and father of two little girls, under no circumstances should a biological male invade upon a space designated for biological women. It's delusional and just plain wrong. I am also deeply disturbed that fair competition in women’s sports is under attack. If women cannot continue to compete on a level playing field, then decades of hard fought gains for women will be compromised—and that compromises the character of our people, and our nation.

Strongly Disagree

President Biden and radical Democrats must understand that their extreme climate agenda harms Americans and our national security. We need to harness American oil production, not hinder it, ensuring energy independence and protecting our nation from relying on foreign sources. It's time to prioritize practical, domestic solutions over harmful, extreme policies.

Increasing nuclear energy production is key. It's clean, efficient, and reduces reliance on foreign energy. Embracing this tech ensures a brighter, more self-reliant future for the United States.

Very Conservative

As a staunch conservative and former Green Beret, I've witnessed the true cost of freedom. Making firearms for a living, I understand the dangers of government overreach on our constitutional rights. My experiences have equipped me to fiercely defend our liberties and American values in Congress.

I believe government should create conditions for Americans and businesses to thrive, not infringe upon their rights. I believe. our government has the duty of protecting our citizens as well. Which includes securing our border while maintaining an 'America First' approach to every decision. A smaller, smarter government fosters success and freedom. I stand for limiting government reach and upholding constitutional liberties, ensuring a prosperous, free nation.

No.

No.

I firmly stand with our local law enforcement departments and personnel, committed to ensuring they're properly funded and equipped. Supporting them means safer communities and better protection for all. It's crucial they have the resources needed to effectively serve and safeguard us. Another step would be taking the funds that were used to hire the 87,000 new IRS and redirecting them to fully fund our local law enforcement agencies.

As a Green Beret, I know that the difference between free people and oppressed people is the right to keep and bear arms. As the owner of a firearms manufacturing company, few know more about the risks facing our 2nd Amendment today. We must stop big government from infringing upon our constitutional rights to keep and bear arms. This includes implementing constitutional carry along with stopping the weaponization of the ATF against law-abiding gun owners.
