What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Don't allow any of them into United States. Close our borders to any groups that are anti-American. Allow the CIA to take action in other countries and only use our military in rare instances.
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

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.

To many people on the payroll making too much money. Too many regulations.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.

Return to the policies that existed in the 20th century (Ellis Island)

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

ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
Government should only do for its citizens those things they cannot do for themselves.
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).
Website and Facebook. 11 years in Public Office and Deputy Mayor for 3 years Mat-Su- Borough Alaska
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?
Protection of our first amendment rights, Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion, Freedom of Press, and right to assemble without fear. Protection of Second amendment rights. The first step all dictatorships do is take away private weapons. All Legislation coming before me must be vetted as to the above and its impact on the citizens I am sword to represent. Whatever the Government wants to do maybe legal but is it right.
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Strongly Agree
I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly 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

Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I was raised in the Salvation Army and was saved at 16
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Mandatory voter ID, paper ballots counted by machines, decrease the periods for early voting, and mandatory hand screening of absentee ballots. No machine usage without paper backup. I have spent over $10,000. in legal fees challenging Alaska voting laws and getting them changed.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
No. This issue is only used by the Democrats to obtain minority votes, it should not be an issue.
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree

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.
Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy.
