OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Recognizing that reproductive rights are a sensitive issue and that people can hold good-faith views on all sides, I believes that government should be kept out of the matter, leaving the question to each person for their conscientious consideration.
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.
Choose not to answer
People who have to make the decisions for their love ones end of life choice. It shouldn’t be the state making those decisions for us, it should be the individual such as a living will or directive.
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
Only sales taxes on non-essential items would be voluntarily and equally applied taxes. All other taxes should be reduced and/or eliminated.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Those agencies that are not productive and are expensive to operate.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Disagree
Fund the student, not the schools. This benefit many students in private schools, and alternative education curriculums. Some students do not want to continued their education after the last year of high school. Funding any college should be up to the individual, not the taxpayers.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Neutral
It should be up to that individual or business. The weight of public opinion is better than government.
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
None
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.
Healthcare should be voluntarily funded. The medical decisions should be the individual. Those who aren't able to afford healthcare,should have non-taxing trust through various donations..
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Traveling to another country
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Keep our solidiers here.
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.
Neutral
This is a fight that there are no winners.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Disagree
We should have a Welcoming Center
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
All as in the past during the Great Migration.
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.

The Golden Rule.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Moderate

Not applicable
What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
Legalize cannabis and psychedelics for those who are need of treatments for various ailments. People shouldn't have to suffer if there are therapeutics. Dilute the Texas Alcohol Beverage Commission, an agency that cost money for the taxpayer, and make it an unit of the Texas Rangers.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.

End the War on Drugs, and focus on crimes against person and property, Years worth of rape cases and unsolved homicides need resolutions.
