OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
All federal and state subsidizing of abortion should be eliminated. Abortion should only be allowed in extreme cases such as the endangerment to both the life of the mother and child. I will always vote to protect innocent life and further curtail the accessibility of abortion.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Disagree
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
I oppose income and sales taxes. The tax code must be simplified and much of it undone. How taxes work should not require a a 13 billion dollar bureaucracy(the IRS) and a 9 billion dollar tax filing industry.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
The Medicaid, University, and the Retirement System could be reduced. The retirement system can also be greatly improved by identifying key government jobs and departments that could be contracted out versus a government hire. Health & Social Services deserve a thorough review as well.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree
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?
No acceptable condition to close a church or non-violent religious gathering.
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.
Mostly D, with a little of C.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
No acceptable condition for any of these institutions to require vaccinations.
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Bar immigration from countries that are primarily Islamic. No special treatment for Islam (allowing them to have their own police, call to prayer on the loud speaker, etc).
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
We have sent $40+ billion to Ukraine and couldn't afford to build a wall around our southern border?
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
If there is a great need for certain professions, people from other Western civilizations are welcome to apply to immigrate and fill those positions. Currently homelessness, joblessness, and an untrained workforce are on the rise so we have no need for more immigrants.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
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.
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 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.
I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, begotten from the Father before all ages, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made; of the same essence as the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven; he became incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary, and was made human. He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate; he suffered and was buried. The third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures. He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again with glory to judge the living and the dead. His kingdom will never end. And I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life. He proceeds from the Father and the Son, and with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified. He spoke through the prophets. I believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church. I affirm one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. I look forward to the resurrection of the dead, and to life in the world to come. Amen. I value Jesus Christ's teachings, specifically the Beatitudes. I value the full word of God, from Genesis to Revelation, as found in the English Standard Version, Tree of Life Version, and New King James Version of the Bible.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Voting Day for cities and State should be November 4, it should be a day off, with many voting centers available, and early voting available at certain locations up to 2 weeks in advance. Voter rolls should be thoroughly cross-examined and purged when necessary.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Yes, anti-white racism is on the rise, threatening productive citizens. More damage was done for the sake of George Floyd and racial equality than what was done on January 6.
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.
A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. And don't forget - the EPA turned a river into a toxic orange sludge https://www.wired.com/2015/08/epa-accidentally-turned-river-toxicand-orange/
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Agree
Far from earthquake prone and high population areas.
ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
To serve the citizen in a pragmatic, unbiased, and efficient method. To create a discrete unity of law and order, common national defense, and socio-economic standard operating procedures by which citizens can confidently pursue life, liberty, and happiness.
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?
Very Conservative
Fiscal Conservative that believes in powerful and innovative citizens to provide solutions to social welfare problems.
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?
I was homeschooled except for high school and 6th grade. My parents were hippies who gave their lives to the Lord Jesus Christ in Hawaii. They chose to raise my siblings and I in Anchorage versus Oakland and the Bay Area, or the Bronx/Brooklyn area that there families came from. This gave me the ability to explore the natural beauty of Alaska, learn and grow free from the public school systems, and enjoy a society largely free from prejudice.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Agree
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Strongly Disagree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
No restrictions.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
We can't even sue the vaccine manufacturers or distributors.
