QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
The states need to determine the circumstances of when an abortion should be allowed.
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.
Neutral
Again, this is a states right.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Disagree
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
None that I can think of.
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
The US should do what it does to irradiate any threats of terrorism.
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
Israel needs its borders just like America.
HEALTHCARE
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. The government should not be involved in health care.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Never, it is a person's right to not be forced to take a vaccine. But, with every right comes responsibility and consequence of one's choice.
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
People say others should pay their, "fair share" without stating exactly what "fair" is. I would support a flat tax for all and evaluate any deductions and credits really required.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Any spending that is associated to a states right should be taken away from the federal government and returned to the states. I would evaluate spending federal dollars on foreign aid and aid to non-US citizens.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Neutral
If a person desires to go to college, I would agree that some career fields need filling and to that end would support student loan assistance for those fields and then after graduating and performing at least five years of service to an agreed upon institution in that field, possible balance of loan forgiveness.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
It's our border and it is wide open to invasion.
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Immigration is a national issue and impacts states when the federal governments fails to govern it.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
I also oppose the federal government having any controls over school choice.
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?
Self-responsibility. For criminals, they should be restricted from gun possession or ownership.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
So would victims of drunk drivers be able to sue alcoholic manufacturers and car manufacturers?
ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
Government is here to establish laws, provide order and security, and protect their people from external threats.
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?
Very Conservative
Constitutional based
Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).
choose not to answer
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 Clean Elections candidate who only answers to the voters. I have no special interests or financial "endorsements" to sway me.
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Strongly Agree
I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.
Disagree
We follow the science and there are two classes (with great exception) xx or xy.
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition
Agree
But again, this is a states right to govern.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
I do not support socialist or Marxism.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Christian
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
To get a library card, one needs ID. To cash a check one needs ID. To be seen by a doctor or be admitted into a hospital one needs ID. See a trend?
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Mail in ballots only for military (and first responders who must work on the voting day) and people with certified handicaps, all others vote in person, national holiday for voting, hand count ballots and verify count with a machine count, require county recorders to have accurate voter databased on 15 April and 15 Oct of every year, and only US citizens are allowed to vote.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
No. Racism is like hunger, it is always present and it is how we decide to deal with it that matters. Reverse racism is a threat that we need to deal with now.
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
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
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
