OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
America's abortion laws are currently as extreme as Communist China and North Korea, allowing abortion up to the moment of birth. Democrats extremism demand taxpayer funded abortions. Democrats extremism also want abortion on demand anytime for any reason and oppose restrictions, even gender selection.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
The overturning of Roe v. Wade is the correction of a wrongful decision. Abortion is not a Federal constitutionally protected activity and abiding by the The US Constitution is left up to the individual states. This is not a Federal candidate issue and I as a Vermonter will only be granted my one vote as a Vermont citizen.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
Strongly Agree
The current administration is chipping away at all Constitutional rights. I will not support any infringement on Constitutional rights. None. Period.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Strongly Disagree.
What should be the relationship between the church and the state?
Separate.
NATIONAL SECURITY
With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened. B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger. D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.
The Biden Administration foreign policy continues to be a disaster. I have worked around the world directly with over 20 NATO partners and allies and have been an important part of successful United State foreign policy. I will bring this experience to influence future successful Foreign Policy.
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.
Neutral
I am aware of a developing possible solution involving Jordan. Right now there are other developing relationships involving Israel. I have worked in Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Kuwait. I have visited the West Bank. As a US Senator I bring extensive relative experience and will seek to support peace and a fair solution in the Middle East.
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
China is also waging Chemical Warfare against the US with full knowledge of the production and rampant distribution into the United States of the synthetic opioid Fentanyl that is causing most of the 100,000+ annual overdose deaths. We need a Wall and serious sanctions; I will seek to solve. The Biden Administration just watches it happen. Trust me, if it has not already happened, any day now someone you love or are close to will have their life ruined by a Fentanyl overdose.
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Listen to and take the advice of our military leadership; learn from the debacle of the hasty pullout of Afghanistan where 13 service members died.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
None, unless per Article 1, Section 1 of the Constitution of the United States, Congress makes a law regarding vaccinations.
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.
I am not in favor of universal healthcare. I am in favor of open market healthcare with continuation and improvement of tax-payer funded federal programs.
ECONOMY
Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.
Strongly Disagree
America needs a limited government with less regulation, supporting an open market and the opportunity for economic prosperity for all, while providing just enough order to enable all Americans to enjoy the rights of the Constitution.
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
Yes, the reckless overspending and "stimulus" of the Biden Democrat Administration is the reason we are experiencing 40 year high inflation and are about to enter a recession - self inflicted.
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
Extend the 2017 TCJA that overall has, per the IRS, not just my opinion, reduced taxes for the working class of Americans.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Enforce immigration laws. stop criminals and Fentanyl from China coming into the US. 10,000 lbs. of Fentanyl seized last year—enough to kill 2 Billion people.
State and federal funds shall be denied to any public or private entity, such as a sanctuary city, that is not in compliance with immigration laws.
Strongly Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Those who follow the naturalization process for those who desire to become US citizens.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Strongly Agree
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Strongly Disagree
I fully support Law Enforcement. Funding, not defunding, our Police; preserving order to enjoy freedoms.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
I support the 2nd Amendment. Anything that starts to infringe on 2A rights is a non starter with me.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
"You won't get gun control by disarming law-abiding citizens. There's only one way to get real gun control: Disarm the thugs and the criminals, lock them up and if you don't actually throw away the key, at least lose it for a long time...it's a nasty truth, but those who seek to inflict harm are not fazed by the gun controllers. I happen to know this from personal experience." RONALD REAGAN

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?
I will support and defend the Constitution, to serve the best interests of Vermont and the United States. We need to pull America back from far left to the All American, life liberty and pursuit of happiness values that made this County Great. I am seeking to serve Vermonters, Vermont, and the United States of America. I am deeply concerned with the direction our Country is going and I have the character, experience, leadership and performance to change the course for a better future. Born 30 December 1961 in Boston, the oldest of 9 siblings; graduated from Westwood High School, MA. I had visited West Point on a youth hockey trip and wanted to become an Army Officer. Army Hockey Coach Jack Riley came to my HS baseball game to tell me of acceptance. I reported to West Point on 1 July 1980. West Point was challenging, a great experience. Highlights were meeting General of the Army Bradley, meeting Walter Cronkite, saluting the 52 returning US hostages, and receiving my diploma from VP Bush. I played some NCAA baseball and 4 years of NCAA hockey for Coach Riley, a great honor. I graduated in 1984 as an active duty Field Artillery Officer with a BS/Political Science. I have also earned an MBA from Temple and a Graduate Certificate under a MS Intelligence program from Georgetown. I served 22+ years with duty in leadership positions in Germany, Korea, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, Jordan, Canada and US bases including 5 years at Fort Bragg. I am a Veteran and served in leadership roles of great responsibility for a Battalion that fired 650 rockets in combat operations over 400km to liberate Kuwait, earning a Valorous Unit Award (equivalent of a Silver Star for an individual). I executed training for 50,000 deploying RC soldiers. I supervised Brigade ROTC operations for New England and NY, including UVM and Norwich, with training at Camp Ethan Allen. I have served as Paratrooper and in Nuclear Surety positions. Early on 9/11 I flew out of Logan on United to meet FEMA in the USVI. Inflight I was asked to guard the cockpit. I returned asap to work at the NYC JFO next to the Intrepid. My awards include the Bronze Star and 7 Meritorious Service Medals. I retired from active duty in 2006 as a Major with an Honorable Discharge. For nearly 5 years I served with the new Defense Coordinating Element, supporting New England Emergency Management operations. I worked extensively with Federal, State, Local agencies and directly supported over 20 PDDs under the Stafford Act, including several in Vermont. I was a lead for the post-Katrina National Level Exercise with 30+ Agencies and a Regional Exercise for Pandemic Response during H1N1. I also supported the Exercise at Harvard that directly benefitted the Marathon response. Since 2011 I have been in Business management and executive positions, with large and small businesses, leading support to a wide range of US Government organizations. My simple formula: engage, listen, develop a value solution; check every detail of the acquisition and proposal. I’ve had success and results in supporting Government agencies in a very competitive environment. I live and work in Perkinsville with my wife Stacey, an Attorney. We have 4 children and 3 are in Vermont schools. Our home looks out at Mount Ascutney and Little Ascutney, with the VAST on our property and an original Crown Point Road marker (XI). We love the outdoors and wildlife and have seen Bald Eagles and a Great Gray Owl, hoping to see a Catamount someday. One of my hobbies is making maple syrup from sugar maples in our yard. There is no other place we would rather live than Vermont.
VALUES
Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Neutral
I believe you are a woman or a man based on the anatomy you are born with. Women have XX chromosomes. Men have XY chromosomes.
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.
I am a raised and practicing Roman Catholic. I wake up everyday to do the best I can for God, Country and Family.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
Remember when you need to have a vaccination card to go to a restaurant... which I did not think was right. REQUIRING ID to vote makes perfectly good sense.
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
We need to a have voting day, not a voting season, perhaps make it a holiday. Vote in person. Require ID. Require paper ballots, have checks and balances, accountability. Put in jail people who break the law.
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Did not answer
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
I have served in the Army and have not seen racism be an issue amongst soldiers. God Bless America.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Agree
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.
Answer "A" comes closer to my view. The Current Administration, under President Biden, shut down oil and gas industry without a plan. That was wrong and destructive to our economy and a big part of the reason why we have inflation soaring the way we do now.
