OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Only to avoid certain death of the mother.

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?

Eliminate the income tax and property tax. Replace with a very small sales tax.

What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?

A balanced budget is already required in Arkansas. I believe we should have a very minimalist government, that only preforms absolutely necessary functions such as building and maintaining roads and bridges.

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?

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.

D)Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded.

Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?

None!


NATIONAL SECURITY

What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?

Mind our own business by staying out of the affairs of foreign countries.

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.

Strongly Disagree

GOD gave the land to the children of Israel.


IMMIGRATION

The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.

Strongly Agree

Build the wall!

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

Only the cream of the crop, who truly desire to be productive citizens. Those who are willing to learn to read and write English.


EDUCATION

I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.

Strongly Agree

My wife home schooled our three sons' for over twenty years.


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 follow/worship the GOD of Israel.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?

Repeal the current motor voter law that the democrats passed many years ago. Require presenting a birth certificate and photo I.D at clerk's office to register to vote.


EQUALITY

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?

No. Bad people do bad things. I know only the love of GOD can transform a racist heart.

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) 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.

Agree

As long as they protect their neighbor's water and land.


ABOUT YOU

What do you think is the general purpose of government?

Our government's original purpose was to defend the “Life, Liberty and Property of the citizens. We need to return to that more than ever.

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

Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).

I do not do interview with the media, because I don't trust them too accurately report what a conservative has said. My voting record on the Quorum Court is available to the public.

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?

Here is where I stand on some of the important issues facing Arkansas: I’m very proud to be: Pro- Life Pro- Gun Rights Pro- Free Market Pro- Biblical Marriage Pro- Limited Government Pro- Local Control of Education Pro- Tenth Amendment (The State telling Biden No!) Anti- Taxes Anti- Illegal Aliens Anti- Critical Race Theory Anti- Socialist / Communist Anti- Government Mandates Anti- Centralized Government Anti- LGBT lifestyle being taught in public schools My guiding philosophy is the same as Thomas Jefferson's. "That government is best which governs least."


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.

Disagree

If the department policy is unconstitutional, both the officer and the department should be accountable for their actions.

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?

None! "Shall not infringe" seems pretty clear to me.

Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.

Strongly Disagree
