OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Upon their doctor's recommendation if absolutely necessary to save the mother's life.
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 state income tax permanently. Cut property taxes by at least 50%
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Wasteful spending on things the American people don't need or want.
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?
NEVER
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.
C. But that is not the answer. Private healthcare with profit margin caps is the solution.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
NEVER
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Stronger military without the woke ideology.
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.

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?
Anybody should legally be allowed to immigrate and follow our process to become a citizen. Wide open borders without regulation is what we have now.
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.
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.
Christian
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
In-person voting on the day of elections only. No early voting, no mail-in voting (with very few limited exceptions), no ballot drop boxes, higher security requirements and oversight at every polling place.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Nope.
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. It has been mismanaged and politicized.
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?
To provide basic infrastructure to live a safe and freedom-filled life.
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).
My social media accounts
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 priority is the People. Common sense legislation as a middle-class non-politician here to make a change for the better. I understand the real trials and tribulations affecting us, and I will take a bold stand for what is right, not for who is donating to my campaign.
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
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Strongly Disagree
Allocate separate funding for those causes. We need MORE money for our police departments not less.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Gun safety classes and more resources available for gun owners. I am a strong believer in the 2nd Amendment and constitutional carry.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
Sue the person who committed the crime.
