OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

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

Agree

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

I do not support elective abortions. For exceptions, I agree with Tennessee's current law regarding ectopic pregnancy, molar pregnancy, or a substantial risk of irreversible harm to the mother.

Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.

Agree

The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.

Agree

The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.

Agree


ECONOMY

What is your position on the minimum wage?

I believe that the market should determine wages.

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

Strongly Agree

List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.

1. We need to ensure that during divorce and child custody cases children do not get placed on TennCare when a parent has access to medical insurance (or can afford to pay for a private policy). 2. We need to carefully review economic development incentives and slim those down, especially to be sure that we are not bringing in companies to Tennessee that do not align with our cultural values. 3. Continuing the fight against illegal immigration will reduce government expenditures.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

The state is a not a church. The church is not a state. Each has a separate role. We can (and should) utilize faith-based principles in how we live our personal lives and how we make decisions for the public. The founders anticipated the virtuous people would be necessary to maintain the republic.

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Disagree


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) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.

C

The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.

Strongly Disagree


NATIONAL SECURITY

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.

Strongly Agree

Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?

Israel is our strongest ally in the Middle East, and I support Israel's right to exist and defend itself 100%. It is important to maintain a good relationship with Israel. We can support Israel while also carefully considering our funding and military operations in the Middle East to avoid more forever wars.


IMMIGRATION

I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.

Strongly Disagree


EDUCATION

I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.

Agree

Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.

Agree


VALUES

Government should recognize and support the fundamental right and essential duty of parents to direct their child's health and educational well-being.

Agree

Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.

Agree

Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.

Agree

I support the expansion of gambling in my state.

Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a born-again Christian. I have been a Christian for decades. Faith is an important part of my life and impacts how I interact with others and how I operate my business.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Disagree


EQUALITY

Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.

Disagree

Biological males should not be allowed to participate in women's sports or occupy biological women's spaces whether it be bathrooms, locker rooms, sorority houses, women's shelters, or prison.

Agree


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.

Disagree

What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?

Nuclear energy is the most promising source of energy in the future. It is clean. Tennessee is leading the way in nuclear energy development.


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

Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.

No.

Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.

No.


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?

The criminal justice system exists to enforce our laws and hold individuals accountable for their behavior. For dangerous individuals, this means placing them behind bars. The criminal justice system is a key part of our public safety efforts. When possible, I support efforts (especially faith-based ones) to help defendants change their lives with education and work skills while they are serving their sentences to help them become productive after they finish their punishment.

Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.

Strongly Agree

Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.

Strongly Agree


2ND AMENDMENT

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

I do not believe that the government needs to impose any more restrictions on our Second Amendment rights.
