OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

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

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Under no circumstances.


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

The state constitution should limit the growth of spending to the rate of population growth plus the rate of inflation.

Strongly Agree

Congress should pass a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution.

Strongly Agree

What is the best way to bring down unemployment?

Reform welfare to encourage and require all abled citizens to seek employment. Continue to reduce taxes and regulations to promote economic growth

What role should government play in boosting the economy?

The government's role in boosting the economy should involve lowering the tax burden on business's and families, as well as reducing unnecessary regulations on industry and individuals.


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


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?

Promote the policy where the health insurance is applied to the individual vs. the employer. So the policy stays with the individual. I've been working within the healthcare industry to demand price transparency and allow market driven bundled pricing for procedures. Traditionally, hospitals were the last resort. Today they are being over utilized. They are too aligned with the insurance industry as one factor in the ongoing spike in healthcare costs. Lastly, I support innovations like tele-health which improves patient-doctor relationships while also driving down the cost of healthcare.


NATIONAL SECURITY

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

Strongly Agree


IMMIGRATION

I support sanctuary cities.

Strongly Disagree


EDUCATION

Tuition-free public education should be guaranteed through college.

Strongly Disagree


VALUES

Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which permitted our system of limited government.

Strongly Agree

George Washington's comment that “Religion and morality are the essential pillars of civil society” is still true today.

Strongly Agree

Any teaching to children on sex education in public schools must include all contraceptive methods, and should not show preference to abstinence.

Strongly Disagree

People should be allowed to use public restrooms, showers, and changing rooms based on "gender identity."

Strongly Disagree

Parents should be the primary authority in decisions affecting their minor children.

Strongly Agree

What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?

The sinful nature of man.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I accepted Christ as my savior at age 12. I seek to love and serve Him more each day. By the power of the Holy Spirit living in me I’m equipped to answer his call for my life. My desire is to introduce others to his saving grace by my words and actions that reflect the character of Christ.
