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 Disagree
A woman should have complete control of her body unless it violates the law. If a woman or physician aborts a baby legally defined as a living person (heartbeat/vitals/etc.), then it is a crime. That woman and any other accomplice should be then tried for the crime of murder.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
This topic involves the autonomy of a person's body. What a person does, as long as it does not violate a law, is between that person and their physician.
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
To preserve a mother's life or other medical complications. A mother should not be forced to carry a dead baby to term.
ECONOMY
Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.
Strongly Disagree
This country is founded on hard work and capitalism. Taking from those who work hard is criminal.
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
If a tax has served its purpose and is no longer necessary, it should go away. Taxation without representation violates the very essence of what led our founding fathers to have discourse with its former dictatorship.
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
Simplification by making it standard for everyone regardless of income.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
Strongly Agree
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
It is a free market. If a person does not like the services, they can go somewhere else.
What should be the relationship between the church and the state?
None
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Never. If a child is sick you send them home.
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.
B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options.
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.
The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger.
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
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Treat all threats the same foreign and domestic. Stop meddling in countries that do not like us.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Finish the wall.
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
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Anyone that goes through the legal process.
VALUES
Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a practicing Christian and believe people have the right to choose to make decisions, good and bad. While I may disagree on policies, the right to choose is up to a person. I am in no position to judge anyone. Judgment is left up to my God Jehovah/Yahweh. I do not push my beliefs on other people as that is not my place, but I will deliver the message to anyone that wants to listen. God has never turned his back on his people as this world is in the hands of the wicked. I embrace the faith that one day this system will come to an end, and a more divine one led by his messiah will be put in place.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Vote in person only with an I.D.
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
No
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
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.
Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy.
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?
Moderate
Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).
I am searchable online as I am very vocal regarding local policies and the failure of investigations involving missing persons, crime, and government fraud.
Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized in either civil or criminal court for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.
I did time, and I am eligible to run as a candidate, having completed my sentence. I could have pleaded to fewer charges and time served but held firm in my right to contest the charges and lost against a weighted system. The result was an extra eight years of being under the heel of the Washington justice system. I am willing to discuss my past at any time but prefer to address current pressing issues which impact our communities.
What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
My only objective is to serve my country and vote, follow what the people want, and make decisions that make lives better than they are now.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Strongly Disagree
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?
I do not believe in any restrictions. We already have laws in place. They just need to be enforced to prevent crime like any other crime. This issue is about selective enforcement and the failure of prosecutors to do their job.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
