OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
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?
Where the mother's life is in jeopardy.
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.
Strongly Agree
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
Tax cuts across the board
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
Strongly Agree
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?
The first amendment of the Constitution guarantees the federal government will not establish nor endorse any single religious practice.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Places of governmental instrument talent should never impose vaccination requirements. However, private employers may require whatever they want of their employees so long as those requests do not violate the law
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
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.
B
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
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?
Continued intelligence surveillance with targeted displays of military might and intervention when needed.
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.
Strongly Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Hard-working individuals who seek to be active contributors to society that have legally gone through the immigration process.
VALUES
Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
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.
Christian-based faith that guides my decisions and sense of justice
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
As a federal representative, none. Election law is a plenary power of the states and any attempt to undermined that would be a violation of the 10th amendment.
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Discourse and disagreement over racism has resulted in sweeping riots across the country resulting in billions of dollars in damage to both public and private property. I do not believe this country suffers from systemic racism, however, isolated incidents that are perceived as inherently racist have resulted in serious threat to domestic security
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
As a petroleum engineer I am acutely aware of the science behind a hydraulic frac. They pose no danger to the environment and any assertions that they do are targeted misinformation. Hydraulic tracking has been a safe and common enhanced recovery method used since 1949.
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
ABOUT YOU
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).
https://journalrecord.com/2022/04/18/casino-refinancing-earns-quapaw-officer-national-award/. I Was just awarded executive of the year for my fiscally conservative approach to our tribal nation's treasury management and enterprise finance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtsqRN1nLcw&t=158s. This is my appearance on the strategic investors radio and podcast show where we discuss my intended conservative approach to the fiscal and social issues facing our country.
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 fiscal conservative with personal industrial expertise in our state's most significant economic locomotives-- energy and tribal business. I oversee thousands of employees in the state of Oklahoma and know what it takes to create an fill jobs in eastern Oklahoma, because I have hired over 800 people during the worst artificial labor shortage in our nation's history, and no other candidate can say the same.
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?
Firearm ownership should not be infringed so that society can maintain the position of comparable strength to its government if the need ever arises to combat tyranny.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
Holding firearms manufacturers vicariously liable would commence the process of digging a hole with no bottom. This is an absurd position with absurd results that cuts against the very foundational practice of our legal system. If proximate cause were an unlimited means of establishing liability then Eve could be a named defendant for eating the forbidden fruit in every lawsuit in the future.
