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
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 church should work with the state to help provide moral oversight for elected officials and provide social services to the poor and vulnerable. We should be teaching religion in school as well. The state should not endorse or force one religion over another but it should not discourage working together to provide for the larger community. You can learn about a religion and not be religious. In older times slaves were limited to vocational and information training only. Citizens got to learn about religion, art, culture, music, and everything they wanted. We have to find a balance of the two working with each other for the good of society. The church should have no power granted by the government.

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.

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
The CCP is the biggest threat to the free world since Nazi Germany. The very existence of America is a threat to the CCP. As long as their people can see freedom and what America represents, we are a problem. The simple truth that your freedom comes from GOD and the state is their to serve you, goes against everything communism stands for.

IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
The securing of our border needs to be a military operation. Our military should have 100% operational control of our borders, end of story. We need to finish the wall as well.

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
All federal funding should be cut off from any states that refuse to enforce federal laws. Illegal immigrants should not be able to get food, medical, school, NOTHING!!! We need to remove all incentive for people to come here illegally.

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Anyone that wants to. This country was built from people all over the world, that is what makes us great. You should just be able to apply to live here because you love America and want freedom.

VALUES
Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
Gender is not an identity.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
CRT is one of the most racist and anti American ideas that has ever been taught. Teaching kids that they are racist and should be ashamed to be white is wrong. Trying to assign blame to people based on another's actions is wrong. Treating an entire class of people as victims is wrong. This goes against everything MLK taught us and stood for. Who are you going to aspire to be like? Abram X Kendi, or Martin Luther King Jr?

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe in GOD and that he is about relationship, not religion. I believe that we all have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The government was created to protect our rights given by GOD, that is the only reason we agree to be governed. Removing GOD from the classroom and our society was the biggest mistake we have ever made. We have replaced faith, family, tradition, and morals with Freud, Prozac, and woke politics. This is why our society is falling apart.

ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
That is left to each state to decide for themselves. For Washington I would say only allow open source software for voting, update the voter roles every election, require ID to vote, and remove mail in voting.

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?
No racism is not a threat. Racism in America has been dead for along time. Democrats are keeping it on life support to try and create division for votes. So in the sense of Democrats tearing apart our democracy under the guise of fighting racism, yes it is a threat. As far as just average Joe American, no. Either way racism isn't the problem.

Neutral
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.

I will put every day Americans first.

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
I think we need mental health professionals and social workers riding with police and working together as a team. Taking from one to give to the other is not the answer.

2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
None. Criminal do not follow laws. If they did gun free zones would be the safest places on earth. The only thing that will keep the public safe is owning firearms. Criminals and mass shooters do not go to the place with the most armed citizens. An armed society is a polite society. I think we need national constitutional carry laws, we need to abolish the ATF and repeal the GCA and NFA. Citizens have a right to own whatever guns they wants and have a right to carry them however/wherever they want without having to ask permission. Possession of a gun should never be a crime, end of story. The only place you shouldn't be able to carry is private property, if the owner doesn't allow it, jails, and court rooms. Teachers didn't give up their right to self defense because they walked on school grounds. You have no right to safety, police have no constitutional duty to protect you either, this is why you have a right to self defense and choose to carry whatever weapon you see fit to defend yourself and your family.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
We do not allow people to sue Ford because someone used their truck to kill someone. We do not sue Pampered Chef because someone stabbed a person with one of their knives. This just removes all accountability from the shooter and is a way to sue law abiding business owners into oblivion. All this is designed to do is put gun dealers out of business.
