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

Planned Parenthood should not receive anymore federal funding. The American people should not be forced to pay for abortions. The abortion industry has only profited off of the American taxpayer, with most of their operations undisclosed to the public. Many of the funding received from the federal government are through other areas of their business operations. The American tax payer should be able to know more about planned parenthoods operations before we allow anymore federal funding.

I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.

Disagree

I don't think it is right for us to aid in the ending of someones life, especially by allowing them the means to end their life on their own. None of these laws give guidelines to physicians on which medications should be given. How will we handle a process in which the patient is given the dose, what happens if this patient takes the medication in public? Will the tax payers hold the responsibility for covering the cost of assisted suicide? We have to think of it morally.

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

I personally believe we shouldn't allow abortion unless the pregnancy possess life treating complications for the mother. That being said, I can understand the argument over rape and incest but we aren't really making laws for those situations. There's this push to normalize abortion and because of those reasons, we should allow everyone to do so and make the American tax payers pay for it.


ECONOMY

Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.

Disagree

I don't agree with this statement, if we tax the wealthy business owners that employ thousands of workers, those business will no longer be able to fund those employees and we will see unemployment, cost of goods and resources skyrocket. We need to balance out the different sectors of our economy, and put an end to the monopolies lobbies fight so hard to protect. We need support our small business owners and employee rights, instead of giving more power to the larger corporations.

The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.

Strongly Agree

There is no reason our nation should be sending 500 million to Pakistan for gender studies when we have inner city schools lacking the funds to provide our young minds a proper education. We spend to much money on foreign aid, when our citizens are in need. We have cities with crumbling infrastructures, contaminated water supplies, and people with no where to sleep or food to eat. Yet our tax money is being given to foreign nations to help aid their civilians.

What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?

We should actually add policy for children tax credit to be based on income status, the less you make the bigger credit per child, now were not saying a huge difference but will give low income families some much needed relief.


iVoterGuide Notes:

Candidate notified iVoterGuide.com that his answer should have included, " A tiered system for child tax credits, benefiting those with more children and lower incomes, is a necessary kind of policy to make sure our citizens get the care that they need."


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.

Strongly Agree

Our nation was founded on the idea that every individual shall have the right to practice whatever religion on desires. We have watched our own government attack faith, faithful people, and we are watching our nation loss faith in favor of science. We must protect the right to practice religion freely and fight to honor faith as a sacred value of the American people.


iVoterGuide Notes:

Candidate notified iVoterGuide.com that his answer should have included, " Is religious liberty at risk? I practice my Muslim faith freely. I agree with freedom of religion; not freedom from religion. Religious life is central to my constituency and I’m motivated to represent them and protect their right to practice their faith."

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Strongly Disagree

We should not, if we are allowed to refuse service to American citizens because they chose not to take a newly developed, under tested vaccine, then we should be allowed to refuse service based on religious beliefs.


iVoterGuide Notes:

Candidate notified iVoterGuide.com that his answer should have been, " Strongly Disagree: individuals and businesses should *not* be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and or religious beliefs."

What should be the relationship between the church and the state?

They should be separate because there are many different religions in our nation, there for if we chose to unit the to we would need representation for each faith to have the right to speak for their followers. Though there should be an understand that our nation was a founded on a set of morals set forth by god and all our laws should hold true to those morals and values.


HEALTHCARE

Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?

None unless it is an illness with a verified high mortality rate and a vaccine that has been studied and tested extensively with a a very small percent of side effects or complications.

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. Though I will add that we need provisions to insure our healthcare system is a true capitalistic system, it is currently far from that with so much being hidden from the American citizen.


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.

C. Our nations leaders at the moment are concentrating on their globalistic agenda far more than the common wealth and safety of their own citizens.

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.

Agree

I agree that the Israeli government needs to end the occupation of the Palestinian people, the Palestinian people deserve the rights every human deserves. But there is much more work to be done on that front before such a plan can be executed safely for both parties. For Israel to just remove the barriers and allow the Palestinians to live freely amongst them there needs to be safe guards set in place to prevent any further disputes from taking place in a violent manner.

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 our nation, they have openly stated they will do everything in their power to surpass us and become the leading world super power. The CCP has already infiltrated our college institutions, is purchasing land all across our nation. They are very much trying to challenge us on every front possible and our current policy makers and administration continue to work closely with them.

What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?

There is no way to eradicate such a threat, we can only handle each group as they emerge. We have back channels covering internet traffic and the CIA is always hard at work to learn more about these possible threats. We do need to work on our foreign relations in the Middle East to possibly change the image of our nation in the eyes of many countries where these terror cells emerge.


IMMIGRATION

The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.

Strongly Agree

The nation's southern border is literally the biggest threat our nation faces today. We know in fact that is the largest entryway for drugs, illegal unregistered firearms, as well as illegal immigrants. How are we allowing our boarder to be open for anyone to walk right in is unbelievable to me. How does a country ensure the safety of its civilians if not securing its boarders first.

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

If a state or city want to allow illegal immigrants safe passage to live in their state against the common interest of nation, they should then me solely responsible for helping fund the immigrants they chose to house.

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

Anyone that will benefit our country, people that have clean criminal records, have gone through screening, and are coming here to become helping members of our society.


VALUES

Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.

Disagree

I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.

Strongly Disagree

Not at all, this theory completely undermines the teachings of MLK Jr. CRT teaches one should judge ones self and others based on your race, the idea being if you're born a certain race you gain instant advantages and disadvantages. This race, if you're born into it, your magically racist toward this other race because people from long ago in your past thought that way. We are giving children the idea that they are wrong or doomed from the start, how is that a healthy foundation for growth?

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I'm a faithful person, who believes in God. I'm a Muslim, grew up in a muslim home with my father and spent my summers with my baptist mother on a farm in Missouri.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

No they shouldn't. We are a nation far more advanced then any other yet we expect not to have photo Id's to make sure the people allowed to participate in our election are the ones who do. There is no reason that one can not obtain a state id or drivers license, Michigan gives them out free to those who can not afford one. This is just another way for one party to allow illegal immigrants to enter our nation and in return expect them to vote there way in the next election.

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?

Drop boxes, though not judges wished to allow the cases to be presented to them, there are multiple Staes with footage shot on their own camera systems showing people stuffing mail in ballots into drop boxes. Also the mail in ballots have to be rethought about, because that is a major flaw in our election system. Once the ballot is removed from the envelope then there is no way at all to trace the ballot back to the voter. This presents a door wide open and welcoming fraud. I would help write law to prevent these issues from interfering with the integrity of our elections.


EQUALITY

Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.

Strongly Disagree

Never. I would need much more evidence of how this makes any sense in the first place, on what basis would we be doing this?

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?

No, as someone born in the 90's, racism was on the decline. We have witnessed something beautiful over the past twenty years or so, more and more interracial couples from all races and it becoming normalized. We were on the verge of ending it within a few generations but the powers at be have recently chosen to spark up the race debates and now we are witnessing even more racism take place as the media continues to pin us against one another, always referring to race as the problem. Now we are witnessing this new form of racism against the white male. How can we move past racism when the left uses it as a tool to divide people and cause mass panic and riots all for their political gain.


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.

Strongly Agree

Of course, we are not ready to make a move to completely clean energy, it would devastate the population with high cost, less energy, less stability. As we have witnessed now with the Biden administration refusing to renew licenses and contracts, the prices for natural gas and oil have sky rocketed since this administration is now depending on foreign nations for these resources. Does this help the American people or hurt them?

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. We are trying to move to fast making the switch and it will hurt our low income communities very much. Some car manufacturers in the metro Detroit area are barely able to pass current safety and emission test other states have, let alone purchase a new electric vehicle. Switching our power grid to strictly clean energy will cause rolling blackouts and an unstable power grid across our nation, making our nation that much more vulnerable.


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).

I'm a member of the Heritage foundation, Stand up Michigan, Lets Mobilize and they have videos up of me speaking on their social media pages.

Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized in either civil or criminal court for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.

Never

What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?

Our nation needs to protect our children from this current push by educational system. Our parents rights should be protected and not silenced at school board meetings for speaking out against current lessons being taught to their children. We need our elections to be free and safe, and we must not silence the concerns our citizens have with an elections but instead address their concerns, look into them and provide the evidence to help ensure there was no foul play during the elections. We need for our judicial systems to not be able to pick and choose which threats and attacks on federal buildings they will pursue. We are a nation of equality, not a nation of only equal, if your political agenda aligns with mine.


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.

Agree

Of course, we as a community have chosen either the standards and guidelines for police officers to do their jobs. We can not hold them to the same standards with the duties we have asked of them, they should not be immune from everything liability, but we should have every faith in those who risk their lives every day because their job puts them in situations the common citizen would never be in.

I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.

Strongly Disagree

We need to fund the police department even more to ensure that every police officer has the tools and training to complete their jobs in a safe and appropriate manner. We should be funding research for better approaches to situations or better equipment by adding more options before having to use lethal force. Defunding our police departments is never the answer, our communities rely on our officers everyday for various reasons. Defunding services to our communities will do nothing but harm all.


2ND AMENDMENT

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

None, we have safe guards in place already. We shall not have our right to bear arms infringed upon.

Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.

Strongly Disagree

No, how does this make sense? If a drunk driver hits your with their car, should you be able to sue the car manufacturer? This makes no sense at all and is just another way to try to disarm Americans, if we are able to sue manufacturers because someone used there product for other reasons they will go bankrupt, no one will want to take that risk of being held liable and manufactures will close. This is yet another push by the left that makes no sense other then a attack on the 2nd Amendment.
