QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
I believe in a purple state like Colorado that we should be able to meet in the middle. No one should be forced to keep a child conceived by rape or incest. I am also pro woman’s health, if it ever truly comes down to saving the baby or the mother, save the mother. However, I believe late term abortion is absolutely disgusting. My wife and I recently just had our first child. We struggled for years with miscarriages. We rejoiced when we finally carried a baby to 24 weeks, where the baby is scientifically seen as viable. At this point, the baby can survive outside the mother’s womb on its own. If there are any women’s health issues beyond this point, there is no reason to abort; you just have the baby.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Agree
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Agree
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
As we see record inflation, I would reduce taxes to give people more of their own money.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
As a member of the Colorado State Legislator, we are constitutionally required to have a balanced budget. I will fight to ensure that this standard is maintained.
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.
Disagree
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
Never. Especially if it's due to covid and Home Depot is still open.
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.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
I don’t believe in mandated vaccines. This should be the parents’ choice. When a parent makes the decision to send their child to school, they do not forfeit their right to choose what is best for their child.
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
This is a federal issue. As a member of the Colorado legislator, I would want to keep communication between the state and federal agencies.
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
This is a federal issue. As a member of the State legislator, I will have no decisions on issues like this.
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?
As a State legislator, I would have no decision making over this.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
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
Disagree
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 am a Christain.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
I would advocate for adoption of voter identification where you must have photo identification to vote.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
I don’t believe America is more racist than 10 years ago and we continue to make strides.
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 are worth the cost.
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
The role of government is to defend the constitution set by our founding fathers, to protect the God given rights of the individuals of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, to protect property, and to serve the people (not the other way around.) It should provide safety through police/fire dept and military to defend our nation. Beyond that, the role of the government should be to get the hell out of the way.
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?
Conservative

N/A. This is my first time seeking elected office.
Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized in either civil or criminal court for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.
Nope.
What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
My priorities will be public safety, making Colorado affordable, and parental choice.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
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?
Gun control laws only restrict access to responsible gun ownership.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Disagree
