Life starts at conception; thus, abortion is murder. I believe we need to defend all life until death from natural causes. Rape is traumatic and evil, but I do not believe it is a justification for abortion. Rationale: If someone has been victimized by rape, does that give them the right to victimize another (i.e. the baby)? I think not.

Strongly Agree

I absolutely do not condone any funding for the murdering of innocent life.

Strongly Disagree

I believe we need to defend all life until death from natural causes.

As government increases, our freedoms decrease. Thus, I believe in small government and minimizing regulations. This also helps to increase our economic freedom. Regarding tax code, I support a flat tax rate to reduce loopholes, which provides a mechanism for people to pay their “fair” share. Additionally, it would simplify the tax code, such that the IRS could also be reduced in size. I don’t agree with penalizing prosperity (i.e. progressive tax) as it can increase negative behavior, such as tax evasion. I agree with the following quote: “You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.” Adrian Rogers

- Amend the Constitution to enforce a balanced budget. - Eliminate pork-filled earmarks in bills. - Reduce fraud/abuse in social programs, and put thresholds on certain benefits. This achieves the goal of providing relief to those who are suffering hard times, while not incentivizing continuing dependency. - Eliminate funding that support special interest agendas (CRT, inclusivity, queer, abortions, reparations, green new deal, non-citizens, etc). - Eliminate unnecessary government positions or departments (i.e. Department of Education) and bring decision-making back to the local level. - Reduce the IRS by simplifying the tax code to a flat tax rate. - Eliminate Congress’ ability to award themselves pay raises, and stop all pay/benefits when they shut down the government (i.e. enact continuing resolutions). - Cut foreign aid that does not directly benefit our national security.

Strongly Disagree

College is not a right. Our public education already has costly issues and inefficiencies. To include college would not only magnify those costs, but would create over-consumption, and devalue the quality of education and the degree.

Strongly Disagree

This is in violation of our 1st Amendment.

Under no circumstances should the government have the ability to close churches. Again, this is in violation of our 1st Amendment.

Healthcare is not a right, but there are times when it is appropriate. Unfortunately, government programs are incredibly inefficient and costly. I believe Medicaid and Medicare need to be reformed to reduce unnecessary burdening of the system. That being said, I fall somewhere between C and D.

Under no circumstances should the government mandate experimental medicine.

Currently, we have an invasion on our border where unchecked individuals are entering. We need to secure our borders, conduct background checks on those entering our country, and prohibit known enemies/terrorists from entering our country. Additionally, we need to tighten financial controls against countries that support Islamic terrorist (blockades, embargos, etc).

Strongly Disagree

Israel has already given land up for peace, yet its neighbors remain hostile. There should be no pressure for them to give up more land.

Strongly Agree

I am for legal immigration. I do not support illegal immigration. The Biden Administration has caused a crisis/invasion on our border, where our National Security vulnerability has drastically increased. We need to increase our border security and to finish building the wall.

As stated before, I support legal immigration, and we have laws already in place for it. Patriotic assimilation is also a key step in this process.

Strongly Agree

Parents should have the ability to put their tax dollars into the school of choice. This will incentivize the schools to be competitive and provide a better quality of education.

Strongly Agree

I believe that we were founded as a Christian nation, and God gives us responsibility to be community builders, care for His creations, follow His word, and be productive in the talents He has given us. Thus, governance is largely our responsibility; not the government's.

Strongly Disagree

We already have laws that protect our rights from discrimination.

Strongly Agree

Marriage is the of union between man and woman.

Strongly Disagree

The Critical Race Theory is destructive, inappropriate, racist, and demoralizing.

I am a Christian. I believe in God's word (Bible) and that all Scripture is God-breathed. His word is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness. Though, I have life experiences (military/civilian) that weigh into my decisions, it is first and foremost God’s word and His counsel that I seek to guide me, and keep me in ‘check’.

Strongly Disagree

Proof of voter ID and residency should be mandatory for voting.

I was one of the data analysts for USEIP. I helped write the Colorado Canvassing report. Know that I will do everything in my power to secure election integrity. I will fight for the following: - 1 day, 1 vote; - Voter ID & residence required; - Hand count votes under live-stream cameras; - Anti-counterfeit ballots; - No mail-in or absentee ballots (except for military & disabled); - No drop-box; - Clean voter rolls; - Public forensic audit; - No election machines/software (ie Dominion, Hammer, Scorecard, etc).

Racism is not a threat to domestic security. In fact, the United States is the least racist country.

Strongly Disagree

Reparations is a racist policy. Additionally, there is a great injustice in penalizing and taxing citizens who had no involvement with slavery.

A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. Environmental regulations are no different. The CA timber industry is a profound example of this. In the 1980s, CA environmentalists increased regulations in the timber industry, with the goal of protecting the forests and the environment. Unfortunately, this incentivized the timber companies to reduce/stop timber harvesting. In the long-run, the forests increased fuel loads with old growth and dead trees. Thus, when a forest fire occurred, it became more catastrophic, destroying millions of acres, costing billions in fire fighting and FEMA, and polluting our skies. All these negative impacts was counter to the goal of protecting our forests/environment.

Strongly Agree

I absolutely believe that we need to be energy independent.

The government should be limited, with the purpose to maintain life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.

Very Conservative

No.

I am tired of politicians continuing to discard my freedoms, amassing us with debt, and forcing evil agendas on us. I protected and defended the Constitution for 25 years, while serving in the USAF. After the 2020 election, I saw overwhelming irregularities and vulnerabilities of our elections, followed by the massive over-reach from our government, the removal of our freedoms, and the invasion of our borders. I knew I had to engage and continue to fight and defend the Constitution--but this time, as a civilian. I will fight for the following: Election integrity, small government; low taxes; fiscal responsibility; term limits; secure borders; low regulations; economic freedom; abolishing medical mandates; traditional education (remove CRT and the inappropriate sexualization of our children).

Strongly Agree

If police officers are acting in line with department policy, then they are acting lawfully and should not be prosecuted.

Strongly Disagree

I believe in Constitutional carry and that our right to bear arms should not be infringed. I will fight against any red flag laws or restrictions that hinder our 2nd Amendment.

Strongly Disagree
