OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

I can not think of any circumstances

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

ECONOMY

What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?

Property tax assessments should not automatically follow an out of control market

What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?

There are discretionary funding that can be cut if needed and should be reviewed when the cuts need to made.

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Disagree

If we lived in a perfect world and had unlimited income paid college and technical schools would be wonderful.


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?

I can't justify the government closing churches


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.

C

Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?

For the most part I believe vaccines need to be decided by every person with guidance from their trusted Family Doctor.


NATIONAL SECURITY

What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?

Secure the border, Monitor potential threats, Eliminate threats that become more dangerous.

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

All borders.

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

People that apply, are vetted and as quotas allow. People from countries that are potential enemies should not be allowed in for any purpose.


EDUCATION

I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.

Agree


VALUES

Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.

Agree

I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.

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

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.

GOD is the creator of heaven and earth. GOD is triune consisting equally of Father, Son and Holy Spirit.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Disagree

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?

voter ID to prevent multiple voting. Bipartisan oversight over all aspects of vote counting to include voting machine software.


EQUALITY

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?

yes, We are one people citizens of the greatest country of all time. If we give in to those that would drive us apart this country will self destruct.

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.

We can protect our environment and maintain a strong robust economy

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?

Provide services that help the people that can be provided more efficiently and at less cost than any other method.

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

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.

no

What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?

No abortions except in a hospital by a Licensed MD for the continued health of the mother. Roll back property tax assessments to alleviate the unfair burden the present assessments are creating for lower income taxpayers. Look at our penal system and ensure that our citizens are protected and we are not wasting money by keeping prisoners past the time they are rehabilitated. Maintain our high level of educational excellence. Use in state companies for any taxpayer funded projects/needs.


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.

Agree

There may be some overview of departmental policy needed.

I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.

Neutral

If it can be done without losing efficiency in the services provided by the police departments. Probably a better approach would be to fund mental health services separately.


2ND AMENDMENT

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

None. I do believe that every citizen should be trained in the use of self defense weapons and required to update that training on a reasonable timetable.

Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.

Strongly Disagree
