QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
Abortion is murder.
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
none.
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Strongly Agree
The monoclonal antibody patent serves as a clear demonstration that life begins at conception, and the process itself requires genetic modifications to an embryo to be successful. It is my understanding that the United States government has recognized the fact that life begins at conception, in part, by granting this patent and others related to the genetic modification of an embryo.
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Strongly Agree
As mentioned above, it is a fact that life begins at conception. Although the purpose behind the monoclonal antibodies is evil, it does not change the fact that the life, whatever it may be, began at conception.
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Strongly Agree
If abortion is going to be left up to individual states, the states that allow it have a responsibility to ensure that they aren't infringing on neighboring jurisdictions. They need to control whatever they are allowing to happen in that state without violating the laws of states that have different laws.
ECONOMY
What is your position on the minimum wage?
It needs to be increased and adjusted to accommodate the rising cost of living and affordability.
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
I'm a proponent of eliminating property taxes in Florida, and I expect the elimination of ad valorem taxes to produce an immediate boost to local economies across the state.
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
AUDITS, ACCESS and ACCOUNTABILITY. The DOGE audits at both the federal and state levels exposed how hundreds of millions of taxpayer funds are wasted on everything from studying monkeys in other countries to trips to Las Vegas. A robust, real-time and transparent check on how taxpayer dollars are spent is the first step toward restoring public trust in how the government spends the People's money. But most importantly, we need to start empaneling Grand Juries on all of this fraud, waste & abuse.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
It means that the government shall make no law respecting religion. Until the Constitution is revised, that's what we have, but at common law, we have always been guided by our Christian values, and there is no prohibition on governing in good faith.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Neutral
I agree with this, however, the Constitution expects freedom of speech and expression to be accommodated. It troubles me that some businesses founded on Christian values could have a satanist ask for a cup of coffee, as a deliberate antagonist. The good thing is that the states are permitted to interpret the Constitution as they see fit, and reasonable steps can be taken to enact laws that protect individuals and businesses from deliberate provocation in these situations.
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.
B.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Strongly Disagree
The government shouldn't be keeping any kind of medical database on anybody unless they pose a threat to national security. The economic "burden" (not a word I would use), can be assessed in many different ways.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
This is true, but the threat is not taken as seriously as it should be at neither the state or federal levels.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
To an extent. Israel has some of the best technology in the world that is very helpful towards counter-terrorism efforts.
IMMIGRATION
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Neutral
I support, and voted for what the president stated the intended goal was with ICE, especially since narcoterrorism is a real thing. However, I have concerns about how some of that plan has changed and how it has been implemented, especially in my hometown of Orlando. As Governor, I believe that I'll actually excel where the federal government failed. The money used on the Everglades detention facility would have been better spent on hiring sheriff's deputies who specialize in narcotics training.
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
This is one of the best ideas there is. I'm also a proponent of increased grant funding for home schooled kids to ensure that they have access to the same resources as kids in public school.
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Strongly Agree
There is no reason for a foreign government to fund anything in America, unless they wish to assist with our efforts to deport criminals.
VALUES
Government should recognize and support the fundamental right and essential duty of parents to direct their child's health and educational well-being.
Strongly Agree
I am a parent who directs the health and education of his children.
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.
Strongly Agree
It is a crime.
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Agree
As a Christian, heterosexual, married man, I agree, but, unfortunately, our laws do not, at the moment. I cannot, in good, faith state that I will punish anyone for aligning with my own beliefs. Our government already altered this definition, and I expect to take an oath to uphold the laws of the United States, whether I disagree with them or not.
I support the expansion of gambling in my state.
Strongly Agree
I do not gamble, but I traveled to Las Vegas a lot for the trade shows during my time as a fashion designer, and I cannot believe it has been outlawed in some places. They gamble everywhere in Nevada, from the airport to the coffee shops, and I don't see why it should be criminal at all.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
My Lord and Savior is Jesus Christ. He died for my sins, and I am a Christian. My grandmother on my father's side was a Catholic, and on my mother's side are Baptists.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
That's a recipe for disaster. While schemes like this are unlikely to affect a nationwide election, it would be devastating to local elections, and could result in multiple votes from a single person. Very bad idea.
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Disagree
Reparations should not be given on the basis of race, but should be given on the basis of lineage. I believe that the reparations package Ron DeSantis afforded to the descendants of the Ocoee massacre was appropriate, and to date, he is the only governor in this country who has done it at all, and his approach to it was correct.
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
Any man who enter's women's spaces, at all, will be prosecuted under my administration.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Strongly Agree
Yes. This is very important, and not only does it require urgent action, we need to focus on the effect that the chemicals used for cloud-seeding has on our food when it rains.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Nuclear energy, without a question, however, I believe that it was a mistake to not invest in compressed natural gas as a backup source of sustainable energy.
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?
Lean Conservative
I'm a hardliner on certain conservative issue, however, there are some issues I can lean liberal on. But I've been called an "extremist" and "alt-right" simply because my view that abortion is murder is one that will never change, and I'm not even willing to debate it. But I do embrace some liberal ideas, so I will classify myself as "Lean Conservative".
Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.
Absolutely not!
Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.
Yes. While I have maintained my innocence and challenged the validity of that conviction, 20 years ago I accepted money from someone to drive a truck from Orlando to Tavares because that person didn't have a driver's license. There were stolen construction materials in the truck that I didn't know about after the truck was pulled over and searched. I was charged with burglary of an unoccupied structure and grand theft. I was acquitted of both, but sentenced for a lesser crime after the trial.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?
To rehabilitate people and not focus solely on the punishment aspect. One of my biggest concerns is the amount of people who have maintained their innocence. I will assign special magistrates who are present at every prison to hear, and help expedite all post-conviction issues, and make recommendations to the Supreme Court. That way, we can truly determine if there are any innocent people in there, and expedite the individuals on death row so that executions do not take decades to get justice.
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Strongly Agree
This is a bigger problem than most people realize, and they have even began targeting toddlers with hidden imagery and messaging on YouTube. A governor intent on protecting children is needed now more than ever, and these internet platforms must be held to account for creating and maintaining these predatory environments.
Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.
Strongly Agree
I am not aware of the implementation of Sharia law in Florida, but regardless, there is no place for any law other than the laws of this country and this state.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
None. There are already too many.
