OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Neutral
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Rape, incest or when the mother's health is in danger
ECONOMY
Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.
Strongly Disagree
Anyone that works hard at what they do will be successful! I don't feel those that have a good work ethic and strive to better themselves should have to pay for the ones that don't. Period!
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
There is more than enough money in Washington to pay for EVERYTHING the American people need!! The problem is waste and corruption!!
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
Simplify it! A flat rate tax would be the best approach. It has already been proven to work.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
Strongly Agree
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
What should be the relationship between the church and the state?
The Church and State should be allowed to work together on issues such as early childhood development, mental health, and welfare assistance and get money from the Government to assist them.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
NONE!!
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.
Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options with no additional burden on the taxpayer.
NATIONAL SECURITY
With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened. B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger. D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.
The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny.
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
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Keep doing what it is doing by selectively getting rid of the leaders in precision airstrikes
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
We need to Finish the wall!!
State and federal funds shall be denied to any public or private entity, such as a sanctuary city, that is not in compliance with immigration laws.
Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Anyone who goes through the correct process and not a known criminal. The process needs to be streamlined for better efficiency for those that are in need, but not at the expense of the states it is affecting
VALUES
Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
There are 2 genders Male and Female
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 am a Christian who believes in a strong work ethic and Christian values. God needs to be the focal point of this country!!
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Picture ID for all Federal elections. Absentee ballots will be given out only to those voters requesting ballots. There will be a deadline for absentee ballots turned in just like a deadline for early voting. No absentee ballots will be allowed without verification of the signature against the signature provided for the absentee ballot and the signature on file on the voter registration card.
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Racism will never be gone. There will always be racist people in this world. The problem is the people that blow up the racist propaganda for their own agenda and to instill fear in others. I DO NOT feel racism is a threat but I do feel the propaganda and fear mongering from the radicals are the reason for the lies and misinformation.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Agree
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.
Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy.
ABOUT YOU
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).
I've never ran for office before
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?
My priorities are simple. Give the government back to the people like it should be! I will make all my legislative priorities to better this country and its people and make sure Big Government is taken out of the picture. I am for the common man and want to make sure we ALL live a better, free, safe life!!
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
Mental health issues and community programs need to be completely funded differently from the police funding. Police need all the funding they have to continue the battles within the communities against crime.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
All the restrictions against criminals are already there. Law abiding citizens should not be restricted from their 2nd amendment rights. There needs to be more accountability for the judges and prosecutors that allow the criminals back on the streets and more prison time for offenders.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
Guns don't kill people! People kill people!! Illegal acquisition of guns happen everyday with criminals!! Laws don't matter to them!
