OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
Every American no matter how small has the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in this country. All life has value and should be protected. Taxpayers who do not agree with abortion should not be tasked with paying for one for someone else.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Neutral
I think psychological therapy would need to be exhausted in trying to save the mind of a person who wanted to die for whatever reason. It would be case by case because you naturally do not want this type of method being abused or used against a person who otherwise wouldn't want it. I am undecided on the matter and think a case-by-case situation with family input is the best choice.
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Not one.
ECONOMY
Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.
Strongly Disagree
If we want the gap between the rich and poor to shrink, then we need free market and free trade. Less government handouts and better schools and education for our youth. Less taxes on middle class and small business owners, lower interest rates so people can afford cars and houses. Stop printing money. Lower medical and tuition cost, not by government subsidies or taxation. Government waste is in the billions each year, we have enough to fund government and these changes.
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
Government spending the past two years is out of control. We are borrowing money from China. Not a good position to be in.
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
More money staying in the pockets of Americans.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
Strongly Agree
Our country was founded on Christianity, you can read it in the United States Constitution, Declaration of Independence and many other founding documents. Religious liberty is why our nation is so great and has progressed so successfully throughout the centuries. We need God back in the K-12 public school system.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Absolutely not. This is a free country. Our Founding Fathers got the First Amendment right the first time. The right to choose and the liberty to choose is why we are so great as a nation. Any law that would require someone to violate their oath with God, is an unjust law.
What should be the relationship between the church and the state?
Church and state should remain separate.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Not one.
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
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
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.
Disagree
I would like to have more knowledge on this topic.
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
CCP enslaves their people. They are guilty of crimes against humanity, but yet the world largely remains quiet about the genocide of their Uyghur population.
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Our government needs to focus on accurate intelligence. Do not negotiate or do business with terrorist. And never again rely on terrorist to provide security for our military and civilian population like we did in the disastrous Afghanistan withdraw that killed 13 of our service men and women, some of whom lived right here in Sacramento and Placer County.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
This administration has been openly defiant with our federal laws and now to date, we have over 2 million border crossings just within the past year.
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.
Strongly Agree
Sanctuary cities pose huge national security risks to this nation and our neighborhoods.
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
As long as it's legal immigration, it doesn't matter where you come from. Respect our laws and way of life and we are more than happy to share this country with anyone.
VALUES
Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
We don't need a separate carve out in the law for people with the mental illness of gender dysphoria.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
Going after children is despicable and really shows us the magnitude of evil encircling our nation and our children. Fighting racism with more racism makes no sense nowhere. This type of indoctrination in our school system is why we need to be laser focused as a country on quality education. Protecting our children at all costs.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
We need an ID for just about anything in our day to day lives, voting shouldn't be any different.
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Need a valid government photo ID and must be a US citizen.
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
I believe Americans are the strongest breed of humans to date because of our past and ability to overcome discrimination and slavery as a nation. I think coming out of that process there was systemic racism that took place and has manifested over time into the disparities we see today within certain demographics. It wasn't that long ago. But today, it's democrat policies crushing those same groups.
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
No. And Gen. Milley should be ashamed of himself. This is a made-up narrative by the left in an attempt to make black people victims and white people villains.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
As long as the people living in the area aren't exploited or poisoned by these efforts. Safety comes before profit.
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
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).
Did not answer
Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized in either civil or criminal court for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.
Never
What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
Legislative priorities: America first agenda, energy independence, parental rights, school choice, religious and medical freedom and liberties, secure borders, protections for 1st and 2nd Amendments and the rule of law.
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
Certain communities would benefit having more mental health programs, but none should replace law enforcement.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
None.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
California gun laws supporting this position is nothing more than a knee jerk reaction to Texas's heartbeat bill. It is retaliation if you will, of the stupidest kind and has no place in our government.
