The state should not be allowed to have jurisdiction over the church and under the constitution the states don't .


HEALTHCARE

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

Under no circumstances

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.

B- health care should be available for those who want it along with private health care only if someone wants it.


NATIONAL SECURITY

With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened. B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger. D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.

C best describes how I feel about our national security.

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

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.

Strongly Agree

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

There should not be anyone in the government that supports terrorism of any kind and it should be made known to any one who promotes terrorism of any kind it will not be tolerated in country or out and follow through with the punishment.


IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Agree

State and federal funds shall be denied to any public or private entity, such as a sanctuary city, that is not in compliance with immigration laws.

Agree

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

Only persons who's lives are threatened in their country and are not a threat to others.


VALUES

Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.

Strongly 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.

The Word of God is final authority in my life. I believe in following His directions because they have proven to be the best for me. He knows me better than I know myself. If I miss the mark or don't understand something I can always go to Him . My desire is to please Him to the best of my ability, that is the least I can do..because Jesus paid a heavy price for me.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?

New laws have been put into place in Missouri, Zuckerbucks will not be accepted. That should be a law in all states. Ballots should not be accepted after a certain time. ID should be always be enforced . Only paper ballots should be used. George Soros blood money should not be permitted to be used in our elections.


EQUALITY

Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.

Strongly Disagree

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

Yes it is. As the United States we have to stand together. We are one nation under God and if we are divided we cannot ward off real threats to our security like China, and Iran just to name a few.


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.

Choose not to answer

I do not know much about fracking to answer this question.

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.

I would have to say B although I am not that knowledgeable about this topic.


ABOUT YOU

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

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

I really don't have the information available that can be publicly viewed. I have given speeches at the GOP when asked to as a Republican candidate for 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.

No

What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?

My legislative priorities are as follows to stop the overreaching of our federal government. According to our constitution they have the authority to close our borders. President Biden doesn't have the authority to keep them open. Election integrity is also one of them, a lot has been done since the 2020 Election, but we have an illegitimate President in office and that needs to be dealt with, our country was headed down the wrong path until the overturning of Roe v Wade, this is the beginning of our nation turning back to God. When The Supreme Court decides to revisit evidence that Attorney Generals presented to the courts before, view 2000 mules, Rigged and other legitimate evidence that the election was stolen from President Donald Trump, that is when our nation will be truly on the right track. President Trump should not have to run in 2024 for a position that he won legally , he should be given his position back and all perpetrators arrested. Everyone in the government took an oath to uphold the constitution and WE THE PEOPLE need to educate ourselves about the constitution so that when we see injustices taking place in the government we have the power to elect others hopefully (Christians with a Biblical world view)and constitutional minded individuals to take their place. The government works for us and I believe they have forgotten that, well it is time for WE THE PEOPLE to remind them of it.


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

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

Strongly Disagree

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?

I believe we have enough restrictions on gun ownership already. I personally would like to see gun owners with children be more responsible in their homes by keeping guns away from children. The only way to protect public safety is take the guns away from the criminals, and that will be hard to do.

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

Disagree
