QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Only when the life of the mother is at risk.
Chemical abortion drugs should meet essential safety standards (such as in-person consultation with a medical doctor) and require reporting to gather evidence on reactions and outcomes.
Strongly Agree
Abortion when the life of the mother is at risk and should be done as painlessly as possible.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
Our tax money is limited and we shouldn't waste it on abortion when we have other issues facing our state.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
Life should be protected. We should help those in need see the value of their lives and what they can become. I know life is hard but giving up is not the answer. We all pass away in our own time and place. Suicide and euthanasia is not something we should be allowing.
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
Without the freedom to try and add something to this world, the world itself becomes a darker place. Private property protects what is yours and it is not something that the government or anyone should take from you.
What is your position on the minimum wage?
Abolish minimum wage laws. Let employee and employer work out what deal works best for both parties. Minimum wage laws only add cost to everyday products making everything more exspensive and it makes everyone more poor as a result.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
Not a chance in hell. It is an evil act used by politicians to pit everyone against each other. It takes what belongs to others and gives it to those that kiss up to those in power. I will not stand for it and I will do everything in my power to fight it.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
There should never be a circumstance where the government or anyone to close churches. They are a place of peace and prayer and the government has no place to shut them down.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
If the government tells individual and buisnesses to be require to provide services that violate moral or religious beliefs then they'll have the power to force you to do anything. History has shown that those that have such power lead to the needless suffering and deaths of millions.
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) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.
C: We should have a these government options only as a last resort when all other forms of healthcare have failed an individual. I encourage private healthcare, but government should have it as the last option on the table.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
None if it can be avoided. The C-19 pandemic proved government lockdowns and forced vaccinations fail and only further divides the people.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
I strongly believe that we will likely be at war with China and other nations between 2027-3035. I hope no chemical or biological warfare but we should prepare just incase. I will revive the American, food, health and arms industry and do everything in my power to protect the people from this threat.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
They are our only true friend in the middle east. They protect the USA from middle eastern nations that seek to do us harm. If you have a religious background like I do, then it is key to always support God and his country of choice. As a Christian I stand with Israel and the Jews just as they stand with us.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Yes. We need to send more National Guard to the southern border and help finish that wall. Once elected I will reccomend this to the governor and help in anyway that I can to help secure my state and my country.
EDUCATION
The state should fund education by allowing dollars to follow the child through programs which protect parents' freedom to choose their child's school – public, private, or homeschool.
Strongly Agree
School choice is one of my main platforms. For a long time parents have demanded school choice in the state of Missouri and it's time we give it to them.
VALUES
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
These are children not sex toys. We must punish those that harm children and I will be pushing for the death penalty in my state for child rape.
Parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.
Strongly Agree
Parents know better how to raise their children than the government, We must do everything in our power to protect parental rights.
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Strongly Disagree
No. This ideology has failed globally and only dose harm to the mental, physical, and emotional of those it touches. Taxpayers should not be paying people to hurt those with this anti-health treatment.
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 stand with the biblical and biological foundation of one man one woman marriages. That being said marriage laws must return back to the states and each state must decide for itself what a marriage is.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Christian values. I stand with the word of God for it is the word that built this great nation of ours and the God of the Bible, my God has saved me from my sins. I owe him everything and I will stand with him.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
If you don't have I.D you shouldn't be voting.
States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.
Strongly Disagree
If that happens, then smaller states will never have a voice. We must protect the electoral college.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
It is a threat but not to the level reported. In 2022 there were 13,337 hate crimes in the USA out of 333.3 million people. That is 0.004% of the population. You can find more people that believe Elvis is alive and that chocolate milk comes from brown cows.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
It is nothing more than teaching people to hate this nation and its people by teaching them to judge each other by the color of their skin rather than by the conduct of their character. In short it violates equal protection laws and those teaching it must be brought to justice.
Biological males should not be allowed to participate in women's sports or occupy biological women's spaces whether it be bathrooms, locker rooms, sorority houses, women's shelters, or prison.
Strongly Agree
Men and Women are differnt and they each need their own space for saftey and basic respect.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Which comes closest to your view? (Select all that apply) A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost. C) Stricter environmental laws undermine U.S. energy independence and deter development of reliable electricity sources. D) Climate change is real and requires urgent policy action.
C: We must balance between eviromental needs and the needs of the economy.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Nuclear energy is the best as far as I can tell. Sadly many reject what nations like France and Japan do because of Hollywood fear tactics.However it is always wise to never rely fully one any one source of energy and always strive for better.
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?
To protect the rights, liberty and general safety of the people theyu govern.
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 stand with indivual freedom. Live and let live while maintaining a general common framwork of right and wrong is what I stand for. Try to find the middle ground on all subjects and if one can not be found do what you can to create the best outcome.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Disagree
While we must find community programs that help prevent crime we can not take it from the police. We must fully fund them so they can do their jobs and put the bad guys away.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
The less restrictions the better. I do not like the idea of the Government disarming the people. It leads to many millions dead. I will protect our 2nd Amendment no matter what.
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
Yes
Teachers should be allowed to carry if they have passed a gun safety class and are well trained on how to use it safely.
