OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
I do not believe in abortion for any cause. I do not agree with trading one life for another.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
Tax dollars should never be used for these institutions, I do not believe that these institutions should be selling/using the body parts of their victims in research, nor should the selling of aborted human body parts be allowed.
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?
Our tax code is extremely outdated, we are taxed on our very existence, property tax is a burden on society as a whole, those living on a fixed income that have paid off their house are essentially "renting" their property from the government. I support the consumption and excise tax as a start to overhauling our tax code.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
We need better oversight on the expenditures of the Board of Education
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?
there are no circumstances in which the government should be allowed to close churches
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.
Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. I also believe that Medicaid and Medicare funds shall be left alone by politicians.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
There are no circumstances in which a government should be allowed to intrude on personal liberties. Vaccination choice belong to individuals.
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
We should finish the southern border wall, end all chain migration, disband any and all "no-go" zones on American soil, stop making deals with countries that preach, believe and chant "death to America".
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
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
We should finish the border wall, make points of entry highly secured with minimal means of "go arounds".
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Only those who wish to enter our country for the betterment of themselves and our country should be allowed. Those who wish to come here and bring the oppression and voting habits of where they left shall be denied entry. People that come here should be required to learn/speak English, be gainfully employed, and enter legally through proper vetting.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
Parents should have the ultimate authority when it comes to the education of their children including where they wish to send them to school. the money should follow the child.
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Strongly Agree
We are one nation under God
I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
There are 2 genders, Male and Female, all others are a mental disorder and we should be getting these people the proper mental health help that they need.
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
I will fight endlessly to defeat CRT
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
God is my Father, Jesus is my Lord and Savior, and the Holy Spirit is within me. I believe in the Constitution as it was written. I believe the 10th Amendment needs to be asserted heavily by the states against the federal governments overreach into our states and the lives of WE THE PEOPLE.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
We need an ID to buy open a bank account, rent a car, buy a house, purchase tobacco or alcohol, get on an airplane, and many other less important actions in our daily lives, why would we not require an ID to participate in one of the greatest responsibilities that we have? Mandatory ID to cast a vote.
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Mandatory ID to vote, certify/clean voter rolls every 2 years, ban electronic voting machines, and require all ballots to have a seal of authenticity with numbering that corresponds with each voting precinct. We should end vote by mail, limit absentee ballots to military, and strictly limit early voting.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
No, racism is a word used by the leftists to define anybody that "they" do not agree with, the color of your skin does not matter.
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.
Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy.
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
I worked in the oilfield for 20+ years, there are proper ways to drill, cement and fracture oil and gas wells, as a well cementing professional, I worked extremely hard to ensure that we did not create micro-annulus. Fracturing can be done safely and from my experience the majority of people involved in the actual work strive to keep everything that belongs underground remains underground.
ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
The federal government's purpose and duties are enumerated in the U.S Constitution. there are 30 to 35 Congressional powers. To lay and collect taxes, duties and excises, to pay debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States, to borrow money on the credit of the U.S., to regulate commerce with foreign Nations and among the several states, to establish a uniform Rule of Naturalization, provide punishment of counterfeiting the securities and coin, to establish Post Offices and post roads. These are to name a few, those that are not granted to the United States nor prohibited by the constitution belong to the many states and the/or the people.
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 am a Constitutional Conservative.
Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).

iVoterGuide Notes:
Upon review, candidate notified iVoterGuide that his response should have directed voters to the video on his website of a forum hosted by Farm Bureau as support for his responses.
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?
Our country is under attack from the NWO/WEF, we as a Constitutional Republic are in jeopardy of losing everything that we know of freedom and our God given rights. The legacy politicians in Washington D.C. have been stripping our rights away slowly over our lifetime. There is a quote that rings true to this statement. "A dog had his chain reduced one link at a time every few days, until his chain was so short that he was tied to the stake and could barely move. He never resisted because he was conditioned to the loss of freedom slowly." Unknown
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Disagree
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Strongly Disagree
I do not support defunding the police, I do support better hiring and training practices for police.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
The 2nd Amendment is very clear. "Shall Not Be Infringed".
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
The manufacturer and "dealer" did not use the gun to commit a crime, should we sue the knife manufacturers if someone is stabbed? Violence is an issue in and of itself, the tools that are used to commit violence are not the problem.
