OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

None or ectopic only

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.

Strongly Disagree


ECONOMY

What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?

Interim study should be done on a flat tax.

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

Audits have already been performed with the Health Dept. and the Dept. of Education, uncovering a lot of waste. The next agency that should also be looked at is the Dept. of Human Services to see if there is any waste occurring there. Continue audits of every agency as funding permits.

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

Government should not interfere with private business operations.

Under what circumstances can government close churches?

No circumstances.


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?

Generally, they should only be allowed to require vaccinations after years of proven effectiveness and no long-term side effects. However, an individual's health should be their own personal decision.


NATIONAL SECURITY

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

Boycott countries and companies that support Islamic terrorism. Also, develop strong ties with our allies.

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

Absolutely agree that the southern border needs better protection. There are already ample opportunities to legally enter the country.

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

Those who enter legally and are deemed safe (fully vetted).


EDUCATION

I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.

Strongly Agree

Yes, parents should have the choice of where their children are educated.


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 the Bible is God's inspired Word for us to live by. I believe that Jesus Christ came to earth to die for our sins. Biblical principles should underlie decisions made in the halls of government.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?

Laws need to be strengthened to require a thorough vetting before being allowed to vote. Photo ID's are required for various things; they should definitely be required for the important action of voting.


EQUALITY

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

Generally no. However, false accusations of "racism" can result in malicious actions and that can create a threat to domestic security.

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?

For the people's safety such as police and fire; for infrastructure such as roads, water, sewer, utilities; for other miscellaneous items that provide greater quality of life such as parks, bike routes, sidewalks. Also to establish laws for the common good of all.

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).

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?

Having been a county commissioner for this area for the last 12 years, I understand the issues that are important to the constituents of this district. I believe that I will be able to more effectively serve and advocate for them at the state level. I have worked for years with various legislators for assistance in addressing issues related to the needs of the district. My legislative priorities are better roads and overall infrastructure. They are both key to economic growth and quality of life. I understand this is a huge capital outlay that needs to be best leveraged with federal dollars.


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?

Background checks to vet purchasers of guns.

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