OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

None. Right to life is the first and foremost right and the government has a duty to protect all persons from the moment of conception. In cases where the life of the mother is at stake, doctors try to save both the baby and mom, and if needed deliver the baby early and try to save the baby. That’s not an Abortion. Abortion is the innocent taking of life and should never be permissible.

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

Strongly Disagree


iVoterGuide Notes:

After evaluations occurred, the candidate expressed that his preferred response to this question should be ”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?

Flatter, simpler tax code.

What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?

Reduce or eliminate many government entities and entitlement programs. At my state level, we must cut the slush fund projects and special interests spending.

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?

Very limited, only if there is an immediate and imminent threat such as an active shooter or an active death threat upon a church. Other than that, the government does not have jurisdiction over the church. The church leadership has the God given Right to determine when where and how to worship God.


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. Government, schools, and employers do not have the right to require their employees/students to disclose private medical information including vaccination status. This can and has caused gross discrimination based on medical status.


NATIONAL SECURITY

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

Protect and close our boarders, enforce the law!

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.

Neutral


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?

Using our legal process, we welcome anyone to our country through the legal immigration process.


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.

Evangelical 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?

Did not answer


EQUALITY

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

Racism is wrong and should never be tolerated. However I do not believe it is a domestic security threat in our country.

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?

To protect the innocent and punish evil. Taxes should only be used for those two purposes.

Very Conservative

No

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

My priorities are to defend life, restore God given liberties and to expose corruption.

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

Disagree

Strongly Disagree


2ND AMENDMENT

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

None. We have a God given right to bear arms. In fact, the less restrictions we have to safer we are. Criminals don’t abide by gun laws.

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

Strongly Disagree
