OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
For medical reasons if the life of the mother is at risk, or the life of the child will be unbearably uncomfortable and low quality of life due to a certain medical disorder.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
Tax payers should not be responsible for funding such facilities. They should operate off of donations as a non-profit organization. Taxes payers money should instead be diverted to protecting our children while at school. The mothers seeking these procedures should have to pay for their actions just like if you receive a summons for breaking the law. You still have to pay the summons regardless of your socioeconomic status.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.

ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
Possibilities- tax code made simpler; incentivize savings; stop offshore parking of profits by companies doing business in our country and use investment offsets to encourage this. Some people are in favor of a flat tax but it has some potentially serious consequences.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Unless the defense budget is on the table the budget is not going to be balanced. With 30 trillion in debt just the service of that debt is a large portion of the budget. Cutting social programs is not the answer and cutting foreign aid is only a drop in the bucket. Long term pork barrel projects have to be eliminated (possibly with line item budget veto authority), ensuring foreign aid goes to true allies, and increasing efficiency of all departments. I personally believe a balanced budget is nearly impossible as long as there is the deep divisions politically in our country.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Agree
College education is a privilege not a right. However giving colleges and universities carte Blanche to price the possibility of a college education out of reach of many Americans should also be curtailed.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
This goes against our first amendment right of the freedom of religion.
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
If there is an incident command emergency in place such as a natural disaster where the infrastructure is unsafe for any individual to leave their shelter.
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.
c.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Under no circumstances.
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
The threat of Islamic terrorism is never going to be eradicated. The best the US can do is reduce the threat here. Security should be ever vigilant, borders have to be secure, and known threats should be dealt with swiftly and severely. When terrorism is state sponsored, those countries should be cut off from any ability to spread this, through economic sanctions, diplomatic means and military action 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.
Disagree
I believe Israel is our greatest ally in the Middle East and we should take no position or action to weaken them. This movement is tantamount to us directly interfering with the internal security of another nation.
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?
Anyone that does it through the proper legal process.
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.
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 in God as the creator of all things. I believe God is full of love and created our universe out of the love that he has for us. We must love in similar to the same capacity as God does for us. I believe we are not here to judge but to support one another through love and obedience to our creator. To take care of all the gifts he has bestowed upon us such as our beautiful land and families.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
If you cannot purchase alcohol with out an ID, then you cannot vote with out one. With out an ID you cannot board a plane, open a P.O. Box, Drive, lease an apartment, buy a car, rent a hotel room, etc etc etc…. Voting is amongst the list of things that you cannot do with out an ID.
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
I would not allow anymore drop box voting.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
I do not believe race is a threat to domestic security
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
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
To serve and protect the people.
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).
Nothing at the moment.
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 am here to be your representative not your ruler. The people know what’s best for their families and not the government. I am here to bring back confidence of our government.
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?
Strict Back Ground checks that would included past medical mental health history. Possibly a reference as we do during the onboarding process as a majority of employers.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
The gun manufacturers are not responsible for the actions of the people who operate their product. The same way we do not litigate against car manufactures for the deaths or injuries of victims of car accidents, or knife companies for every fatal stabbing.
