Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Separation.

D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.

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.

Disagree

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

We should go back to the days of Ellis Island: all yearning to breathe free.


VALUES

Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.

Agree

I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a Christian and an atheist. A Naturalist.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

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?

Lean Conservative

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.

Never for sexual misconduct, but I have been convicted of felonies in Oregon for what in my view amount to criminal mischief which I regret.

What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?

We need to amend Richard Nixon's war on drugs. It is a failed nation-wide policy that is prohibiting innovation in the sciences when it comes to psychedelics.

Strongly Disagree

I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
