OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
None
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?
Tax code should be changed to be based on a fair approach.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Remove many of the federal agencies that have become irrelevant. The system of distributing grants should be completely dismantled and replaced with a system that is structured to provide more accountability.
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
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?
None
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
There hasn’t been any reported in America for a few years. I realize there is still threats from other countries such as Iran. Our national security agencies must step up their surveillances and refuse to allow politely ideology to influence their position in keeping Americans safe.
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?
Those who are vetted by our immigration department and found to be authentic and demonstrate the willingness to become a US citizen.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
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
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 gave my life to the Lord at the age of 12 in a small country church where my dad was the pastor. I believe that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life and no one can enter heaven without His Spirit dwelling within us. The Bible is the Inerrant Word of God. In all my ways I trust in Him for He directs my paths.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Voting laws for national elections MUST be the same in every state. Those laws must guarantee fidelity and adherence to safe and secure elections without fraud as we witnessed in the last national presidential election.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
If the divisive entities that are pushing CRT/BLM/DEI into schools , higher Ed, corporations, legislative bodies then yes - this will cause an eventual deterioration of our nation.
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.
Agree
ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
Government should operate by the people and for the people. It should act for the preservation of our nation.
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).
I’m a very new candidate (filing on the deadline date). I have posted on social media my views. This past December when I resigned from being a board member my views on accountability and transparency were made public.
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?
My focus is to push toward more accountability and transparency from all entities in our state. I will join my fellow representatives to fight the pornography in our school libraries and to keep CRT and its tentacles out of all public institutions in our state.
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?
Restrictions should never interfere with the second amendment. All legal gun purchases should be allowed.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
