OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE*
*Additional information was received after the evaluation was assigned and was not considered in the Panel Evaluations, therefore it is for additional educational purposes only.
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
None or rare case of ectopic pregnancy
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?
The tax code should be streamlined or simplified. I support more audits for fraud, waste and abuse.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Recent and current audits conducted by the state auditor have exposed waste and fraud in many areas of government spending. We must continue to audit and take action on these results, to be responsible for the taxpayer's money.
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
As a business owner, my religious freedoms should not be infringed because I have a business.
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
None.
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?
I believe it should be left up to parents and individuals to decide what vaccinations they choose.
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
We should boycott countries/companies that sponsor or safe harbor terrorism. We should work to build relationships with allies to achieve success.
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
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
I support legal immigration. We should provide more support to enable those wanting to enter legally (vetted) and provide a path to become tax paying, law abiding visitors and citizenship as the law would apply in that circumstance. Persecuted Christians should be given higher priority to make up for failures of the previous Obama administration. Our boarders should be secured to prevent illegal entry.
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
I believe God chooses our Gender.
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.
Very First, I am a Christian. I was raised Pentecostal Holliness/Assembly of God. My wife was raised First Babtist. Through our 28 years of marriage, we have been members of Assembly of God churches and Henderson Hills First Baptist, currently where I served as a deacon for 10 years. I am far from perfect but work each day to become more like Him. 2nd is my family, only to Christ. My wife and I have raised 4 kids and gained a son-in-law. We lead them in the best Christian example we can, through an example of hard work and respecting others. They also drive and support me to do things bigger than I could have imagined. After family comes work and community service. I believe it takes hard work to achieve goals, and that work provides for everything we love doing. I understand the value of my faith, team leaders and mentors helping influence my decision making. Ultimately, the buck stops with me. I fight for what I believe while treating others with respect, as I would want to be treated myself.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
There should be a national requirement for voter ID to be shown to vote. The voting rolls should automatically remove the voter upon death. Absentee registration and voting should have a vetting period prior to being counted.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
I think we would still have domestic security issues, even without racism. Racism is not systemic, but if we are living out our biblical principles in loving our neighbor as ourselves, we help combat the individual instances that do occur.
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?
I think the purpose of government is expressed in the preamble to the Constitution. "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, Insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity...." is our guide to the general purpose of government. Aside from this, government should get out of the way of the people, to allow us to enjoy Liberty, at its best.
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 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 deeply committed Christian, husband and father. Aside from my businesses, I am passionate about our communities and have served in many ways to do all I can to make our state better. Through my areas of service to the community, I have worked with others to achieve goals, while fighting to protect my core values. I work to treat others with respect as I would want to be treated. In business, I formed teams that report to me to give me sound advise in areas they have “boots on the ground”. I want the same for district 28. The families of the district are my “boots on the ground” and will always have me ear. Not dark money or special interest groups that work to buy legislators. I have told special interest groups “I am not for sale”. I will not take PAC funds. The agendas of Joe Biden are hurting our Oklahoma families and businesses. I will work to put a stop to their reach in our state affairs and help support our energy sector to put “Oklahoma First” and lead the charge to energy independence.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Strongly Disagree
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?
none
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
