ABOUT YOU
Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.
No
Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.
No
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
The governments role is to provide infrastructure, law and order and national defense. A well functioning government does not interfere with our daily lives and should be virtually invisible.
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?
Conservative
I believe in personal freedom for adults to be left alone from government nanny state policies. The government owes it to its tax payers to be a good steward of our tax dollars and spend frugally and responsibly. I also believe that social assistance programs are necessary but need to be goal oriented and should have milestones set to achieve. If they fail to achieve these millstones in a reasonable time the program needs to be retooled, similar to how private industry spends money.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Strongly Disagree
2ND AMENDMENT

None, law abiding citizens do not commit gun crimes.

Yes
