I believe in the Bible, and the bible specifies life begins at first breath. This is when the soul enters the body. There are a few other passages that indicate penalties for someone who attacks a woman and it causes a miscarriage. I believe in this as well. I am a biblical scholar and follower of Jesus.

Neutral

The government does not fund planned parenthood as far as I am aware. I am focused on financial issues and making our state use tax dollars to increase revenue. I want to fight inflation without people losing their investments in property.

Neutral

This is not an issue I know anything about. There are already lots of career politicians who can decide this one in our house and senate. I am here to stop our legislature from wasting our tax dollars. I am not a crusader, I am a finance guy. We have NO finance professionals in the state senate. Nobody is looking out for your wallet.

Flat tax, consumption tax, and wealth tax. No more wasting billions on the IRS and accounting firms because our laws are a mess.

I am an expert in determining return on investment (ROI) and cost-benefit analysis (CBA). I could reduce our spending by more than 50% just by forcing the people who create bills to justify the expense. Right now, they just approve billions without any financial oversight.

Strongly Agree

I am a finance guy - we need to be able to compete with countries like China and India, who are taking American jobs because people can't afford college here. There is a HUGE return on investment for this. If you believe in keeping jobs here, you should absolutely agree with this. As an Information Technology CIO, we are forced to outsource and use people off-shore because we can't find enough Americans who can program.

Neutral

Money is green. Successful businesses focus on the green. I'm here to make your tax dollars go farther, and cut spending.

Under no circumstances. First Amendment.

I am actually an expert on this one, and like Donald Trump, I believe in Universal Healthcare because it would save more than 40% of the money we spend right now. I would need to see a comprehensive study done to see if the government or the private sector would be most efficient at running this. The private sector could bid on this perhaps saving us more money than a government solution. Medicare has a 10% overhead, if the private sector could do better than that then we should consider proposals.

I don't want my employees to die in the middle of a critical project or get my other employees sick so I have to shut down and lose millions. As a business owner, I should have to right to decide what protections I can offer my employees. I am about protecting your tax dollars, I am not interested in political agendas that do not protect your money. I lost hundreds of thousands on projects due to widespread illnesses. How do you want your tax money protected? There is a HUGE cost to losing your workers for weeks or even months. It's about business for me, it's all business.

We need to stop supporting Saudi Arabia. For more than two centuries, Wahhabism has been Saudi Arabia's dominant faith. They are responsible for ISIL (ISIS), the World Trade Center Attacks, and they fund multiple terrorists groups. Meanwhile, Ducey leased out a ton of land to them at $50 per acre without charging them for water. Millions in free water to the people who killed thousands of Americans. For the life of me, I don't understand why Ducey gave them this land, it is OUR land and they are draining our farmers dry. If you actually read this, demand that Ducey IMMEDIATLY stop giving away our resources to the guys who killed many of my friends and co-workers. I saw the bodies fall, my building of 40 families had 6 people not come home that day. And can we STOP arming them?

This has NOTHING to do with Arizona. I am focused on finance, I have no idea what this has to do with my campaign. I don't have an educated response, so rather than make up stuff, I will tell you if this was part of my position as a State Senator I would have researched it. It isn't, so I am spending my time trying to save our state money and bring in new revenue. As a voter, do you want me to waste your tax dollars on something I can't control?

Agree

There are literally thousands of bodies in the Arizona Desert. We need to save these people's lives and allow them to petition for admittance through legal means. However, to stop illegal immigration, one of my best friends works for ICE and he said the wall is a half measure, to fix this problem we need to go after the people who hire them. And when we build a barrier to save lives, it must be done by SKILLED workers.

Those who follow the established procedures of the federal government. The problem is Corporations love the low paid labor, and they control the government with their lobbyists. They WANT migrant workers, so the problem won't stop until we get lobbyists out of our government.

Strongly Agree

The voucher programs are great for children with special needs. I do not agree with voucher expansion without removing the spending cap.

Neutral

Our system of government was actually built upon the Greco-Roman system of government. I believe this question is inaccurate because they were pagans - and most Americans are not pagans. This is a history question. I read a lot.

Neutral

This is not a topic I am an expert on, I am a finance guy. Again, I am here to reduce spending and increase revenue. I would need to do a lot more research to see the financial impact of any laws like this. I see a lot of laws with no financial study behind them, EVERYTHING has a cost. I'm here to make you money.

Marriage is a legal contract. This question lacks the understanding of laws.

Strongly Disagree

Nobody teaches this CRT. The only acronym that resembles that is taught in Medical School and is called CRRT which is Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy. I haven't met anyone who knows that CRT is.

My spiritual beliefs and values were instilled in me by my parents. My father is a Deacon, his father was a Baptist preacher. My wife is an ordained minister. My mother is a Christian writer who has several books published and hundreds of articles. I draw on the Sermon on the Mount to guide me in my decisions. I can tell you this - I am the ONLY real Christian running for senate. I am very open to a debate with John Kavanagh on the bible. He can't cite a single chapter or verse. I am a Christian encyclopedia.

Strongly Disagree

In Arizona, nobody can vote without a photo ID right now. So I agree with the current law.

Well, considering there are already hundreds of people proposing laws on this and wasting your tax dollars, I would not propose any laws. While they waste your money on some kind of competition for "who has the most voting bills" I would be saving you BILLIONS.

Rioting certainly indicates that it seems to be a threat to domestic security. Isn't that axiomatic?

Strongly Disagree

That would be against the first amendment. Reparations should be given based on evidence proving financial loss regardless of race. We are a nation of laws based on the constitution.

Clearly with our water and fire issues we have failed the people in our state by being reactive instead of pro-active. Republicans are now scrambling to enact stricter laws and regulations. I would have done this pro-actively to save our taxpayers billions. Richard Nixon created the EPA

Neutral

There needs to be a balance between economic development and public safety. I have friends who have water that you can light on fire. Drinking water. There are safe ways to do these extractions, but too many corporations only care about profits and not life. As someone who believes in life, I cannot condone the corporations who are irresponsible with their extraction process. One of my best friends owns a sizeable oil company, and they ensure their methods of extraction are safe.

To maximize our tax dollars to protect our democracy.

Moderate

I am a fiscal conservative. I am libertarian on social issues.

I have given dozens of interviews, none of them have aired. I am too boring - I care most about finance and how we use our tax dollars and increase our GDP. I am just not interesting enough because I am not interesting in blowing dog whistles. I want your vote because I care about protecting your money. You would think that would be what people care about the most, unfortunately it isn't.

No. I obey the law.

I will represent ALL people in Arizona with my skills in Information Technology and Finance. I am by far the best candidate in any of the races to fight inflation. I have not found a single candidate that even understands inflation. If you care about your investments, how your taxes are spent, and increasing our GDP, I am the person you should vote for. If you want someone yelling at the top of their lungs about the political soup of the day, I'm not that guy. I'm here to cook you steak, not soup.

Strongly Agree

This is the current operational state.

Strongly Disagree

Defunding the police is a terrible idea. Police are out-manned, out-gunned, and with the closure of almost all insane asylums they are being forced to handle issues that used to be handled in conjunction with asylums. Mental Health and Community programs should be funded separately. We desperately need a place to put the mentally ill so our police officers are not wasting their critical resources on mental illness calls.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. I believe in the second amendment in its entirety.

Neutral

Dealers who sell weapons to known convicted felons should be prosecuted. Not all dealers know who they are selling to, thus my "neutral" stance.
