QUESTIONNAIRE*
*Additional information was received after the evaluation was assigned and was not considered in the Panel Evaluations, therefore it is for additional educational purposes only.
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Did not answer
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Did not answer
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Did not answer
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
State tax code needs to allow for incentives for small business development, while not increasing any burden on private property tax, or income tax. Wyoming has long relied upon oil and gas revenue to ride out any budget issues, we must diversify this tax base, while preserving Wyomings legacy.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
First, we need Comprehensive Fiscal Accountability. We need to know exactly what the checkbook looks like. Then, we need to make adjustments where needed.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Neutral
This is an idea I dont like, but I am willing to discuss.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Agree
Within that persons OWN RIGHTS. An individual should not be forced to do something they are not comfortable with to a stranger. But, a business that serves the whole public needs to keep a clean barrier between church and state, in all aspects.
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
Violation of the tax code (gross violation), violation of federal law
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.
Combination of B and C, which is possible if needs and availability is properly addressed, this will ensure protection of more personal freedoms, and more choice for the end user.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Only within federal law
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Did not answer
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.
Did not answer
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Those who are coming to contribute to our country.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
I choose to homeschool, and it has been one of the best choices I have ever made, parents, and guardians need choice
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Did not answer
I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.
Did not answer
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition
Did not answer
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Did not answer
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Did not answer
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Agree
If properly registered, and counted. Within limits
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Did not answer
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Did not answer
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Did not answer
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.
Both, it depends on the project, there is a lot of work in carbon capture, and other forms of environmentally friendly development.
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Agree
I spent 6 years in oil and gas research.
ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
To defend the constitution, and preserve the republic.
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
Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).
Did not answer
Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized in either civil or criminal court for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.
Did not answer
What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
Public land access is a high priority to me, as well as hunting, conservation, tourism, small business, and taxation. Accountability of our fiances in the state is essential and the time is now! I am a strong supporter of the 2nd amendment.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Neutral
This question is much more in depth than this, and the difference between behavior that should be under qualified immunity, and behavior that should not be, is not clarified.
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Agree
ONLY if done in full cooperation of the department itself, the only way this is productive is if everyone works together, otherwise, it is a bad idea.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
I dont support gun restrictions
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
