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.
Medicare and Medicaid should remain available, but no other tax payer funded programs are necessary.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
State government organizations should not be able to require vaccinations. Private businesses should not be dictated to by the government.
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Secure our borders and enforce our laws.
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
The current administration has completely shirked its duty to protect our borders.
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
We need a robust LEGAL immigration policy. People entering our country must be well vetted and they must not be a burden on our taxpayers.
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
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 am a Christian. Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Always treat others as you would have them treat you.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
I do not support mail in ballots for all. If you vote with an absentee ballot it should be notarized. Free and fair elections are essential to our Republic. Our number one priority must be to have confidence in the outcomes.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
I do not believe the theory that our country is systemically racist. I believe the effort to divide us is an attempt to destroy the great country that we are. These efforts to divide us are the threat to domestic security. I believe in law and order with equal justice under the law.
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.
I believe stricter environmental laws generally 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?
The general purpose of government is to protect our individual rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. These protections should be afforded to all citizens of our country.
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?
Very Conservative
Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).
n/a
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?
I am a Christian, a conservative, and a capitalist. I believe our Founding Fathers gave us the road map and we became the greatest nation this earth has ever seen. I believe the road map is still good, but we have gotten off track in many ways. The movement towards socialism has been extremely damaging. I believe in limited government and equal opportunities for all.
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
We must support and protect our law enforcement officers.
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Strongly Disagree
2ND AMENDMENT
