OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE*

*Additional information was received after the evaluation was assigned and was not considered in the Panel Evaluations, therefore it is for additional educational purposes only.
RIGHT TO LIFE

Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.

Strongly Agree

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds or grants from federal, state, or local governments.

Strongly Agree

I support the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which requires health care providers to provide life-saving treatment for infants who survive an attempted abortion.

Strongly Agree

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Etopic pregnancy only.


ECONOMY

It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.

Strongly Disagree

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

Strongly Agree

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

Education; lottery revenues need to be revisited.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Governments should not discriminate against individuals, organizations or small businesses because of their belief that marriage is only a union of one man and one woman.

Strongly Agree

Governments should define marriage as between one man and one woman; no other definition of marriage should be legalized or supported with taxpayer or public funds.

Strongly Agree

Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.

Strongly Agree

I promise to protect the freedom of Christians to share the Gospel and to practice Biblical principles.

Yes

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

It means nothing; there is no such animal.


HEALTHCARE

It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.

Strongly Disagree

How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?

Pass legislation that permits counties and perhaps states to enroll their citizens under group plans; health insurances providers would have to bid on the contract every five-years.


NATIONAL SECURITY

The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.

Strongly Agree


IMMIGRATION

I am in favor of construction of a wall and other necessary infrastructure on our border that gives complete control over entering and exiting the United States.

Strongly Agree

State and federal funds should be denied to any public or private entity, including but not limited to sanctuary cities, that are not in compliance with immigration laws.

Agree

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

Only those who are officially invited through application and those seeking refuge.


EDUCATION

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Strongly Disagree


VALUES

Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.

Strongly Agree

I support adding sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression as protected classes in non-discrimination laws.

Strongly Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

We are all descendents of a dark-skinned couple from the northeastern region of Africa; both of whom were created by God. Thank God for Jesus or we'd all end-up burning in Hell! Amen.


ABOUT YOU

When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and immigration, which of the following best describes you overall?

Very Conservative

Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.

Capitalism is the essential economic structure which made the United States the envy of the world; government and corporatism needs to be limited and highly controlled. Constitutional amendments were supposed to protect us from an overzealous government; laws need to be implemented and expanded to prevent overreaching corporations for collecting our information and selling it without expressed written permission for each occurrence.

What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?

• Master of Public Administration Degree • Forty years of supervisory and administrative experience • Experience in writing grants, budgets, and policies • Over 40-years of combined law enforcement and investigative experience United States Marine Corps, 1972 - 1976 Master of Public Administration, 1994 Northern Michigan University, Marquette, MI 49855 Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice, 1993 Northern Michigan University, Marquette, MI 49855 Law Enforcement Officer, 1981, Academy 81-2 Northern Michigan University, Regional Police Academy, Marquette, MI 49855 Associate of Applied Science in Human Services, 1978 Bay de Noc Community College, Escanaba, MI 49829

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

No.

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?

God, family, country loyalty well before political party.


JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY

I support the use of Sharia law as a basis for legislation and judicial decisions in the United States.

Strongly Disagree


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

Mandatory minimum sentencing should be required and enforced for violent crimes.

Agree


2ND AMENDMENT

Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?

Yes

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

Felony conviction, domestic assault, which was specifically designated as a domestic assault by the court, any drug-related arrest, including driving under the influence of drugs, like marijuana.


OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.

Strongly Disagree

The Electoral College should be abolished.

Strongly Disagree

In priority order, what three areas of legislation do you propose to author or sponsor if elected?

Protecting law and order, including law enforcement. Not to be officious, but also protecting Elmer Fudd’s right to keep and bear arms! Auditing various departments, especially the Department of Transportation, Attorney General, and Secretary of State's Office.

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

Yes - leftists have been identifying individuals by race before we became a nation and have intentionally targeted minorities for abortion.
