OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Always
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Disagree
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Agree
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
Several taxes in Nevada should be repealed including (but not limited to) commerce, sales & use, and estate & inheritance taxes.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Nevada is one of the worst states in the U.S. in spending. I plan to do execute a forensic audit of spending in Nevada and make dramatic cuts across the board.
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?
None
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. A private market similar to auto insurance with robust options, ease of access, and competitive pricing/options is best.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Government & school, never. Private businesses should be able to run their business as they see fit without influence or repercussions from the government
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Show me data where we have widespread problems in the US of "threats of Islamic terrorism". The U.S. should not be the world's watchdog.
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
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Disagree
As a Libertarian I support open borders.
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Libertarians believe that people should be able to travel freely as long as they are peaceful. We welcome immigrants who come seeking a better life. The vast majority of immigrants are very peaceful and highly productive.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
Fund students, not systems.
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Strongly Disagree
I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.
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 Disagree
I do not believe it is "God-ordained". It is two humans making a deeply personal decision to take an oath before other humans to spend their lives together.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Agree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a secular humanist and follow libertarian and objectivist philosophies
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 voter ID and end ballot harvesting
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
No. Systems in the US can facilitate racism, but I don't believe it's a "domestic threat to security".
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
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) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Agree
ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
To protect civil rights, civil liberties, and defend us from invasion. That's it.
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?
Moderate
I'm a small government fiscal conservative with socially liberal views. I want people to be able to live freely without government interference.
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 plan to move Nevada forward with reducing wasteful spending and taxes to get more money back to Nevadans. I also plan to protect the existing laws that protect a woman's right to choose and right to marriage. I am the only Governor candidate who supports Ranked Choice Voting and is anti-mandate. Both of my opponents will take away your rights, spend more of your money on wasteful programs, and bend the knee to special interests. I am the RIGHT choice for Nevada in 2022.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Strongly Disagree
I am in favor of ending qualified immunity.
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Agree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Felons as deemed by due process and the mentally ill as deemed by a licensed medical professional.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
