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
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
If the mother's life is in danger she should have the right to choose.
ECONOMY
Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.
Strongly Disagree
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.

What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
Some of Oklahoma's marijuana taxes should be redirected to public education.

Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
What should be the relationship between the church and the state?
None.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
None. It is individual choice.
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.

NATIONAL SECURITY
With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened. B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger. D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.
C
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
America needs to focus it's time and resources on problems at home.
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
This threat is minimal, there are bigger threats to deal with.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
State and federal funds shall be denied to any public or private entity, such as a sanctuary city, that is not in compliance with immigration laws.
Agree
It would create inappropriate spending of US taxpayer money that could be redirected for resources for the people who worked for those funds.
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
People who pass the application process & refugees who apply should be allowed. Amnesty for working migrants could be considered to improve our economy.
VALUES
Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Agree
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
Obama would not have achieved presidency of racism was still this strong.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe in God, love and forgiveness. I also believe everyone has a right to their belief without being judged as right or wrong as long as they're not hurting anyone, that's definitely wrong.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
2000 mules.
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Electronic fingerprints should be added so fake ballots can't be submitted.
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Disagree
Creating a team environment going forward is a better use of time & energy. There are many races that have suffered different things. Realizing we're all on the same boat now, helping each other and working to build a better future is what we need.
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
No. There are too many races to call any a domestic threat. We're all here together. If people are a domestic threat it is their individual ideology that should be targeted, not the entire race.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
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.
B. Open the Keystone XL Pipeline.

No.
What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
I'm running after being a provider that gave early treatment during a pandemic and realized the government policies are what needed to change. To improve POLIcies to better serve our people, I should to be a POLItician.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Agree
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Disagree
More avenues of income can be created to fund mental health & community programs without defunding our police.

The ones we have are good.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
