OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
Congress should repeal the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare).
Strongly Agree
Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.
Agree
I am in favor of construction of a wall and other necessary infrastructure on our border that gives complete control over entering and exiting the United States.
Strongly Agree
The U.S. military should wait for militant Islamic groups to directly threaten our national security on our shores, rather than eradicate them now wherever they may be worldwide.
Strongly Disagree
The United States must maintain a nuclear arsenal that is safe, reliable, modern and numerically superior to those of potential adversaries.
Strongly Agree
I support legislation such as the First Amendment Defense Act (FADA) that would prohibit discrimination against individuals, organizations and small businesses because of their belief that marriage is only a union of one man and one woman.
Strongly Agree
The federal government should establish Common Core as a nationwide academic standard for high school graduation.
Strongly Disagree
I oppose the resettlement of Syrian refugees into the U.S. without proper vetting.
Agree
Current regulations on domestic oil exploration and drilling are more restrictive than are necessary.
Agree
It is the government’s responsibility to be sure everyone has health care and a livable income.
Disagree
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which permitted our system of limited government.
Strongly Agree
More restrictive gun control laws are needed to protect public safety.
Disagree
The founders established pure democracy in the Constitution because they believed that it is the best form of government to ensure the safety and equitable treatment of all citizens.
Strongly Agree
Free enterprise and the right to private property turn mankind's natural self-interest into the most productive economic system there is.
Strongly Agree
Governments should pay to develop wind and solar energy solutions until they are economically feasible.
Disagree
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States.
Agree
Governments should define marriage as between one man and one woman; no other definition of marriage should be legalized or supported with public funds.
Agree
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Disagree
The United States should help defend Israel from attack by its enemies.
Agree
Planned Parenthood should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments.
Agree
Marijuana should be legalized and regulated like tobacco and alcohol.
Neutral
Islamic law (Sharia) does not pose a threat to the United States and its Constitution.
Strongly Disagree
Based on the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, please arrange the following entities, starting with the highest source of authority, and continue the list in descending order of authority, skipping any that do not apply: Academia, Congress, Constitution, God, Industry, Media, Professional Sports, Supreme Court, Voters.
God, Constitution, Voters, Congress, and Supreme Court. I believe in honesty, integrity and serving others in more dire needs. I believe in a limited fed government, states’ rights, personal liberties, constitutional rights and individual freedoms.
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
I am sympathetic to the voices calling for an abortion ban and we should be working on achieving this noble goal. We have all knowhow, technical ability and infrastructure to achieve this goal in the near future. However, due to the current political situation, it would be very difficult to ban abortions altogether and some exceptions should be provided under some circumstances, like a rape, incest and when the mother’s life is in danger. Yet, we should still impose ban on late term abortion.
What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." I am running due to altruistic reasons with the goal of ending the power and money-grab mentality in WDC. I want to represent the silent majority of people who feel their voices are not being heard by the establishment; people whose personal liberties, constitutional rights, and individual freedoms are under attack. I want to introduce some sanity and try to end corrupted ways of doing business in WDC.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a Roman Catholic.
Considering all issues (social, economic, national security, etc.), which of these best describes you?
Conservative
Please defend your answer to the previous question by referencing your publicly available track record.
I am a very conservative on fiscal issues and I believe that the federal government should play only limited role in regulating our lives. I am somewhat conservative on social issues and I believe that the decisions concerning them should be left out of the federal jurisdiction and up to the states to decide on.

Additional comment from candidate:
I have been a resident of Washington State for the past 32 years. I hold two M.A. degrees and I have spent most of my adult life working in financial planning and social services. If elected, I would like to continue on my career path and try to influence policy changes to the benefit of our citizens, including children and people in need. My goal is to make a difference in their lives and improve our communities and the country. As Mr. Rick Santorum would say in short: good jobs, good families, and involvement in our churches and communities, (and probably: less government intervention), should be the pathway to provide better opportunities for us all.
