QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Only if the fetus is not viable and the mother’s life is in jeopardy
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.
Neutral
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
Lower taxes increase job growth, with more jobs we have more people paying taxes which increases revenue, it’s a common sense approach.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
As a candidate for state office, I’d look to reduce entitlement programs by changing standards so one doesn’t become solely dependent on the program. It’s there to assist people in a time of need not to be a lifestyle.
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
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Never What one puts into their body should be there choice and theirs alone.
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Refuse to do business of any kind with any nation that is a know funder of terrorism. The best way to do this is to be independent, from energy, manufacturing, agriculturally, if we made it here we wouldn’t be fueling those who wish to destroy us.
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?
Those who can contribute to our society and those willing to assimilate to our way of life should be the ones we accept first. We have enough people already living off the US taxpayer and do not need anymore. Obviously there are others seeking asylum, but following the current asylum laws would be a good start. Those seeking asylum are to remain in the first safe country, not pass through 3 of them to get to the United States, that looks more like economic migration.
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 in one God, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirt. God gave us his Son, Jesus Christ to die for our sin. To then be buried and rise three days later conquering death for all who believe. When one comes to Christ, they are a changed person(reborn) those who claim to be Christian if truly reborn will not be as they were before. My faith guides me in all I do obviously I’m not perfect and fail daily but I try to live as Jesus taught us.
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 PA it would take a constitutional amendment which I believe is currently in the works. Personally I like voter ID, in person voting, and paper ballots, and of course absentee voting should be allowed, but the elimination of all no excuse mail-in voting.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Personally I don’t believe race is an issue. This narrative was created by the Democrat Media complex to cause division and help promote their Marxist ideals.
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
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 Government’s main purpose is to provide security for its citizens. Government has gotten way too big and is now intermingled in all of our everyday lives. This was not what our founders intended,
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?

What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
My priorities would be election integrity, term limits, and bringing jobs to my district.
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?
I believe in the 2nd Amendment as for restrictions the only restrictions should apply to the mentally unfit or those who have been convicted of violent crime.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
It is people that kill people. A gun is just a tool.
