QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Never. I believe there are many other better options than the death of any innocent child.

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.

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?

Never


NATIONAL SECURITY

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

Strong boarder security, strong military intelligence and force in prevention when necessary.

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


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.

D. Government in charge of public health creates a dangerous path toward total control of the industry. Better to make tax incentives for health insurance companies to to provide plans affordable for all financial levels of Americans.

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

Never. Again government control leads to abusive circumstances.


ECONOMY

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

Food taxes for consumers and producers should be reduced until eliminated.

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

Special interest groups

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Strongly Disagree


IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Agree

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

Legal applicants for work and long-term residency with a focus on being patriot toward this country.


EDUCATION

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

Strongly Agree


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


2ND AMENDMENT

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

None. We need more people to take gun ownership more seriously and be able to protect themselves and other fellow citizens in any emergency.

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

Strongly Disagree


ABOUT YOU

What do you think is the general purpose of government?

Abide by our founding documents and provide freedom and protection for every citizen.

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).

Probably my best track record for this would be documented in sermons and public talks through the Nazarene church and Wilroads Gardens Christian church.

Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized in either civil or criminal court for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.

A DUI when I was 19 is the only incident No sexual misconduct

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

The protection of religious liberties is a priority of mine. The protection of life in the womb and after is a priority of mine. High morals in our government is a priority of mine. Biblical values in the home with families and in the workplace is a priority of mine. I live to serve first and foremost my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ secondly my close family and friends and thirdly my country.


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 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 God has revealed his truth and grace about who he is and how he designed us through the person of Jesus the Christ best and most clearly. The Bible is God’s inspired word for us to learn and repent towards the nature that he calls us to.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?

I believe that technology is helpful for many things but when it comes to voting I would propose in person with identification voting be the primary way that the majority of the population have to vote.


EQUALITY

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

I believe racism is a sin to discriminate against a person based on their race. But I do not believe it is a primary problem in our country.

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.

Being an avid outdoorsman hiking hunting fishing I long to see our environment sustained. Also with my background in a fourth generation family farm I know that the best way to take care of our land is personal ownership not government regulations. So I would side closer with B for less regulation and more personal ownership and personal responsibility for our environment locally.

I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.

Strongly Agree
