OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
None. To take the baby's life is murder.
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
God determines when we are conceived, God determines when we die, not man.
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
Everyone above the poverty line who has a job should be taxed. All able bodied working individuals should share in supporting the nation as a whole.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Only responsibilities specified in the Constitution should exist in government. Remove fraud, waste, and abuse shrinking government. The tax code should be simplified to something similar to the "Fair Tax," or a Flat tax. Then the IRS can be greatly reduced in size. The Department of Education should be eliminated, as examples.
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?
Under no circumstances. The government does not have any authority over the church.
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?
Under no circumstances. This is a violation of individual freedom.
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Be constantly vigilant. Regulate those who enter the United States who come from known State sponsors of terrorism.
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
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?
Only those who apply according to the laws of the United States.
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.
I believe that all are created by God Almighty. Because of the Fall of Adam and Eve, all are doomed to eternal separation from God. However, God provided a way for all to be reconciled to Him though his Son, the LORD Jesus Christ. If a person confesses with their mouth that Jesus is Lord and believes in their heart that God raised him from the dead, that person will spend eternity in the presence of God Almighty.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Require an ID to vote. Eliminate mail-in balloting. Have a national holiday to vote on one day. Absentee ballots should be allowed for military personnel and others in government employ who are unable to vote in person.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
No. Just like we are plagued with murderers and thieves, we will be plagued with some racists. Racism does not define Americans.
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) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy.
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?
National Security, to protect the people. To govern according to the consent of the people.
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?

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?
The key to why I am running to become Nevada's next Lieutenant Governor is because the Lieutenant Governor is the key person in the State for business development and tourism. The businesses that support these areas are sustained by the workforce. The quality of the workforce is determined by education. Nevada is dead last in the nation in pre-K though 12 education, which does not bode well for the future. I intend to use my comprehensive knowledge of the workforce requirements to work with the Governor and influence the educators to change what they are doing to reverse this situation.
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
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
None, the Constitution clearly states in the Second Amendment: "...the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
