QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Only when the life of the mother is truly at risk, and only after every attempt humanly possible is given to try an save both mother and child. Abortion should never be the go to medical procedure, abortion is not healthcare.
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.
Disagree
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
All I can say is that I am 100% for phasing out property taxes. We should not have to pay the government rent for something we already own.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Well in Missouri our budget is balanced. But if property taxes were to phase out the revenue would be replaced as new income came in from other things such as a tax on marijuana if the State goes in the direction of legalizing it. But I would also try my best to look into the budget and see what wasteful spending we could cut, as I’m sure there are plenty of things government waste money on in our state.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Disagree
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
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.
Option C) Those who pay into Medicare should be able to use it if they choose. But we should also have the option to use a private insurance provider who may better fit our needs and situations. Freedom in healthcare is very important. We know that the private sector will always be better than any government run program.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
NONE. No one should be forced to take a vaccine as a requirement for employment.
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Secure our borders. Enforce the law when extremist are caught, end catch and release policy. Islam is a dangerous false religion. A true follower of Islam cannot be peaceful. There is only one true God and He doesn’t require us to kill those who we disagree with in order to enter Heaven. Also the United States should not continue to pursue a nuclear deal with Iran, but rather stand with Israel.
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
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Those who hold and believe in our American values. Those who wish to become AMERICAN and live in freedom and understand it’s worth. Those who understand and agree with our Bill of Rights. Also we should be more selective in who we allow in and in what order based on our needs as a country,
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
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.
Strongly Disagree
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
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 born again believer in Jesus Christ. I believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God, and that all truth comes from His word. I believe that only through faith in Jesus Christ can one gain eternal life. I believe that all have sinned and all need God’s grace and mercy, all need Christ. I believe that the Ten Commandments are God’s moral law and that we all fall short of that mark and because of that we all need Christ in order to enter Heaven.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Missouri just passed an election integrity bill, and it does a lot of good things. A few things not addressed very well was early voting, drop boxes and Dominion voting machines. I would start by looking into these issues.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
The vast majority of people in the United States are not racist. In our great country your success is not tied to your race or gender, but rather your character, determination, and commitment. In America anyone can achieve greatness if they are willing to put in the time and work.
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.
Agree
ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
To provide security, and promote the common good.
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).
I’ve never been in politics before so I don’t have a bunch of sound bites. All I would suggest is going back on my Facebook and Twitter pages and looking back on all my different post over the last several years and see the consistency.
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?
If elected to the Missouri House of Representatives i will prioritize, 1- Standing for life as we combat the lefts attempts to legalize abortion up to birth. 2- deterring covid mandates. 3- making sure schools educate our kids rather than indoctrinating them. 4- repealing the 2021 gas tax increase. 5- protecting women’s sports.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
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?
None. Restricting guns from those who follow the law, will only empower the criminals who do not follow the law. In my opinion more guns in the hands of good people will result in more security for our country.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
