OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE*
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
None
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
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?
Remove state income tax/fair or flat tax implementation
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Better stewardship of funds and open up bids to more companies. Reduce/eliminate tax dollars sent over seas.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
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?
None
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.
C
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
None - vaccines should be a choice for people based on their individual beliefs.
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Establish a plan to take preemptive strike to cells and defensive posture as needed.
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.
Neutral
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Anyone that would like to immigrate should be allowed to. However, they should follow our systems and do so LEGALLY.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
By doing so, a side effect would be that teachers pay would rise due to more competition for their services.
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
Biological males should not be allowed to participate in female sports or in their bathrooms.
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition
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.
Bible believing, strong Christian
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
Photo ID is required for alcohol, tobacco, flights, etc. They should be required for the great responsibility of voting.
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Paper ballots and required ID.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
No. I believe that racism is primarily initiated by the media and government to separate people in order to distract from their own devious actions.
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.
(A) climate change is a way for government to spend our tax money with no proof or basis. Why do so many high ranking government officials buy property on the coast if they are concerned with the oceans rising?
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
I believe it is far safer for the environment than strip mining for lithium.
ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
To protect its citizens.

Very Conservative

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 stand for freedom and less government. I truly wish we could trust government, but time and time again the government has misused that trust. I stand for transparency.
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
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Violent felons should not have guns.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
A gun is neither good, nor bad. It is an inanimate object. A fork is not responsible for making someone fat or skinny; it is all in the actions of the person using it.
