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.
Letter C is the option I would support the most until people could be afforded health care insurance that is affordable to their specific needs. Government should not be in the healthcare business.

Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Never! The choice should always be up to the individual person. I understand the importance of various types of vaccines so educating people on their options is the most effective method but the government should never have the right to force anyone to be vaccinated. It's called Freedom.

NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Be vigilant and show strength, not trying to work with people groups who wish to kill you. By quick and tactical offensive when the opportunity presents itself. I believe not all Islamic groups are bent on our destruction some just want freedom to be able to live in peace. You have fanatical people in all areas of life. I may not agree with their religious views but they have the right to worship in freedom as well as any other religion. When the leadership of any religious group becomes oppressive to the people of an area and forces them to believe as they believe or they will be killed, that is terrorism and should be dealt with.

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

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Anyone who wants to be a law abiding citizen. This country was founded by immigrants that came to be free and work to make life better for themselves and their families. No one should be given money, healthcare, and a place to live at the expense of the taxpayer s of the country they are entering. The religious organizations are far better equipped to help them find their place in society.

EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
Parents should have the right to choose the best educational needs for their children. The government has no right to tell parents what their children will be taught, and force parents into submission by radical idealists. This country was founded by capitalism and freedom of speech, religion and expression of ideas that challenged us to think learn and grow.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a follower of my savior Jesus Christ. I believe all life is sacred from conception till natural death. I believe marriage is God ordained between one man and one woman. I believe we are all created in the image of God but that does not mean we are all his children. We all need to acknowledge him and express our thankfulness for his son (Jesus) who died on the cross for our sins and who rose from the grave on the third day. We need to accept the free gift of salvation so we may be called his sons and daughters. ( John 3:16 )

EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Yes, when everything someone says or does is called racist its impacts are felt through out our country and around the world. The most racist statements are coming from people who just want to hate for any reason. When riots and all kind of damage is done to innocent people in the name of racism it is not racism it is lawless rioting and not peaceful protests.

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. There is to much red tape and restrictions on most everything to do with the environment and what cannot be regulated to death we use the ESA to shut down any activity that we don't like.

I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
We as a country could be energy independent instead of being slaves to the other countries that produce oil and gas. We need to open up our lands to mining, gas, and oil production. We need to harvest our timber instead of letting it burn and polluting our air and waters. The choice is easy, we can be the world leader in proper use of our resources or we can be a weak nation begging others to help us.

What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
I have been married to my wife Jennifer for 25 years. We have 5 children and 2 grandchildren. We have a set of twins boys ( age 25). The twins have autism and so they have some learning challenges but are great help when needed and very willing to help when asked. We have a 19 year old son who works for a local company. We have a 16 year old son who is a fine young man. We have home schooled all our sons. We have a daughter who lives in Pa. She is married and has had two sons. We have lived in the Boulder area since 2002. We are active members of a local church. My priorities are working to keep children safe and taught to be able to think for themselves and not indoctrinated in false information about God, sex, and many other matters. Protecting the unborn and the elderly is also very important to me. Keeping our Freedoms from being taken by radical idealists is always a top priority. I know it's foolish to think I have any power to make any changes on my own but by working together with other like minded people I know we can make a difference. May God Bless you, and I look forward to working for you in the 2023 legislative session.

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
If they are following the departments rules of conduct then they deserve the departments backing and immunity from lawsuits.

2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
There are too many gun restrictions already on the books. It is fact that when people are armed there is less crime. It is fact that when people are restricted to access or not allowed to have a weapon the criminals will be much more likely to beat, loot, and murder unprotected people.

Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
That statement would mean that you should be able to sue a car manufacturer and the dealer and the mechanic for the accident committed by DUI driver that hurt someone. Maybe you would like to sue the server, the restaurant, the salesman, the truck driver, the store, the process facility, and the farm that grew the lettuce that you choked on? Guns are not the problem people are.
