The United States should not meddle in the affairs of foreign countries.

ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
To serve 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?
Did not answer
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 do not support the fluoridation of our municipal water supply. It is a known neurotoxin derived from industrial waste and should be stopped immediately.
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Agree
While my personal values align with this statement, I strongly believe in the separation of church and state. Let us remember that the reformation, which started in Europe and flourished in the United States, was in protest of the overreach of the church in state affairs in Europe.
I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.
Did not answer
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition
Agree
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Neutral
Freedom of Speech must be protected.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a conservative Protestant and a Seventh-day Adventist. I believe in the right of individuals and religious institutions to worship as they choose.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Did not answer
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Formerly incarcerated individuals that have paid their debt to society must have their voting rights restored.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Anything that harms individuals is a danger to society as a whole. Minorities are often disadvantaged by our legal system. For example, people of color are often handed harsher penalties and longer sentences.
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Neutral
I support investing in community resources for populations that have historically been harmed and disadvantaged.
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.
I am not in favor of taxing natural resources or penalizing individuals or businesses for using them. However, I do believe natural resources must be handled responsibly concerning our environment and public health.
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Disagree
I do not because traditional hydraulic fracking can lead to water and soil contamination. There are better fracking alternatives available that are more efficient and safer for the environment.
