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?
Never. Abortion of a living child is murder. God commands us to love our neighbor as ourselves and do no murder.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
Do not fund murder.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
The Lord commands us to do no murder.
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
Did not answer
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Did not answer
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?
Certainly not under the circumstances our nation recently experienced during the COVID situation. If the structure of the meeting place is deemed condemned, or the gathered body is unruly, etc., then these could be circumstances under which the government could close 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.
Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Public entities should never require a vaccine. Private entities could.
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.
Neutral
What do those who work there say?
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Those who are willing to be subject to the laws of the land insofar as said laws are just.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
Parents have the responsibility to manage their children's education. There should be some form of tax credit or refund for the family who does not choose public school.
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Strongly Agree
"If God is not our Father, then the state becomes our mother." - Toby Sumpter
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 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.
Protestant Christian Reformed Baptist. Christ is King. God created mankind in His image. Mankind turned away from God. God’s judgment and wrath rests upon a person until he or she repents and believes Christ Jesus, who was God in the flesh, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, live a sinless life, gave up His life to be crucified for sins, buried in a tomb, raised to life, ascended to heaven, intercedes as the Great High Priest, and will return to judge the world in righteousness. God commands everyone to love God and to love his or her neighbor as one’s self. Everyone fails, so God commands everyone to turn to Him, trust in Christ, and live by faith in Christ.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Require photo ID. Return to paper ballots. Each ballot must be verified by witnesses from all parties.
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.
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.
Did not answer
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Did not answer
ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
To protect people from being violated in person and property. The government is the sword of justice instituted by God to punish the evildoer.
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
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?
My first priority at this time is to establish equal protection for all people, including the pre-born. Legalized abortion must be abolished. Abortion of a living child is murder, and should be dealt with as homicide. All involved are to be prosecuted, including the mother and father (if involved) of the aborted child. The government's primary is to punish evildoers and protect the good.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Did not answer
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?
Did not answer
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
