QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Mother life in danger, Rape, Ins
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Agree
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Agree
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Agree
iVoterGuide Notes:
The candidate notified iVoterGuide.com that his answer should have been "DISAGREE."
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
Did not answer
iVoterGuide Notes:
The candidate notified iVoterGuide.com that his answer should have been "There may be times when it is in the best interest to close churches but they should not be treated any differently than any other places where people gather or work and would need to only be done within the framework of the constitution."
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Not applicable to the office I'm running for.
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.
Choose not to answer
Not applicable to the office I'm running for.
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.
Does not apply to me as a "state candidate" but I do support Badger Care in WI.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
None
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
As I am running for a State Assembly seat, I can only answer to how it applies to or state taxes, I would like our WI tax code simplified for both corporations and individuals. The individual tax brackets should be set at fair rates for earners of all levels and based on net income with a minimal number of deductions. Corporate taxes need loopholes and "grey areas" removed.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Again, based on our state budget only. Without be presently in a position to see the state budget I can't specifically say what I'd reduce, however "pork" spending and "pet project" spending would be the first thing I'd look at.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Disagree
IMMIGRATION
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Not applicable to the office I'm running for.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Agree
Parents are the primary stakeholders in their children's education.
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.
Agree
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Disagree
I would still support funding mental health and community programs.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Current laws in WI are adequate, better enforcement of existing laws will do more than new laws will.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
Dumbest question ever. This would lead to every manufacture of every product sold to be liable for misuse of their products.
ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
To "govern" (not rule).
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).
Sorry, none at this time.
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, I have not.
What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
I'm conservative running a s a Republican, my priorities are for the good of the district not the party. My personal priority would be cutting out wasteful spending and reallocate funds to more beneficial areas such as education. That being said, if I am given the honor of representing the great people of Wisconsin's 74th District my priorities will be determined by them.
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Neutral
I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.
Neutral
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.
Not relevant.
Marriage between one man and one woman and the families they form are the foundation of civilization and are fundamental to the well-being and prosperity of Wisconsin.
Agree
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Set a fair minimum number of polling places/machines based on a per capita system.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
If the question was written based on WI I would answer, as written I don't feel it is applicable to the office I'm running for.
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Agree
iVoterGuide Notes:
The candidate notified iVoterGuide.com that his answer should have been "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.
Neither answer, we need a balance of both.
iVoterGuide Notes:
The candidate notified iVoterGuide.com that his answer should have been "B , we need enough laws & regulations to protect our environment, however this doesn't mean unnecessary "red tape" preventing society to function."
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Neutral
We have no fracking in WI. Not applicable to the office I'm running for.
