OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Mothers health is in danger
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
I am a strong Pro-Life supporter and do not believe federal or state funds should go towards this issue
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
Life should be preserved and should be natural in the process.
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
Flat tax, income tax should continue to be progressively reduced to 0, this spurs more business to relocate to Arizona which promotes job growth.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Our Budget is balanced in Arizona and there is excessive dollars, we need to reduce taxation. I do not have control over Federal budget spending if elected only state related issues.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Disagree
I believe we should offer more vocational classes and support in high school to prepare students to be job ready upon graduation of high school. College should be an elected pursuit of furthering education and paid for by the students. We should be working diligently on our public education system to educate students to the utmost abilities and higher standards of academics. Our system has been diluted over time and we need to increase the standards.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
NONE! They should always be essential!
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.
Medicaid and Medicare is be the only programs available. Private medical programs should be free enterprise which promotes competition in the marketplace.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
NONE! Religious exemptions should be allowed. Since our Vaccination programs began, we have more autism and other issues that never existed before. We have too many vaccinations given to our children today and it should be an option for parents to research the risks involved themselves and make those choices for their families.
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Secure the Borders! We need common sense in our government! Accountability in the laws. We can make laws all day long but if we don't enforce them it is mute! Expand our military and build up our military.
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
We need to always support Israel as a Religious ally.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Enforce the laws we have in place. We need to declare this crisis and invasion and nullify the federal governments overreach by exercising our U.S. Constitutional Rights and take back state control.
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Unsure
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
I have been a founding member of a Charter school and strongly support school choice on every level. Our public schools are lacking in their academic standards: they are focused on indoctrination and woke agenda's. We MUST have school choice as an option in Arizona Education!
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Strongly Agree
We have had a steady decline in morality since the 10 commandments were removed from the classroom.
I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
God made x and y chromosomes, follow the science. Anything other than that is a morality issue.
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition
Strongly Agree
God blesses marriages and families should be strengthened not undermined in everyway.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
We should teach equality not racism! Individuals have the right to pursue excellence and achieve whatever they set their minds to achieve.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a strong Christian Believer and support the biblical truths on all levels. When evil appears to be good and good evil we see the disintegration of our life liberty and pursuit of happiness and the moral fabric of our lives falling apart.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
We need an ID to get on a plane, to purchase alcohol, to bring your pets to the vet and many other reasons. We must protect our voting rights and our Republic from fraud.
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
NO Ballot Harvesting should be allowed and it should be a felony and a criminal offense. We need Voter ID, We need to have stronger signature verification, and 1 VOTE, 1 DAY, 1 BALLOT as it says in our Constitution! Our Constitution was created to protect our freedom. It is not a everchanging document. We should uphold it with strict adherence!
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
YES! It shouldn't be and we had made great strides in America in these last decades but with our open borders, we are vulnerable. Crime rates are rising, homelessness is rising, shortages in baby formula and many other issues are developing from this open border policy. It is not racist to have a safe community where our children can play and ride their bike without fear.
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Disagree
I pay my taxes and work hard for my lifestyle and my provision. I should not be required to pay for another's college, healthcare, food and housing when our own daughter and sons are struggling to put food on their own table and keep a roof over their heads.
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.
I believe there is a time and a place for laws that protect the people but overall the regulations are usually over encumbered with red tape that is unnecessary.
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
WE NEED TO BE AMERICA FIRST IN MANUFACTURING AND ENERGY INDEPENDENCE!
ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
To Protect the Inalienable rights of the people, our state and national Sovereignty, our universal moral code (10 Commandments) that governs all people and forms the basis of our civil laws and inalienable rights, Self-evident Truths. Equality Inalienable Rights, The Inalienable Right to Life, not abortion on demand. Create a community where the people are free as individuals to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness without government overreach.
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
Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).
None available at this time
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?
I want the people to have a voice and we need to be bold and stand up for righteousness! We need to be on the offense not defense. The moderate way of life is loosing ground and our individual freedoms are at stake. We are at a tipping point where the left is eroding away at our freedoms, from the freedom of speech with this cancel culture, our 2A rights are being challenged, our ability to pursue life, liberty and pursuit of happiness is being challenged at every corner. It's time to take a stand and not give in to the moderate ideas that are stealing our joy. Its a clever erosion of our quality of life and sinful ideologies are creeping into our children's lives and our own. It's tie to RISE UP! Protect our FREEDOM TODAY!
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?
Background checks only, no felons should be allowed to purchase a gun.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
