QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Whenever a Women decides to have one or the advice of a medical professionals.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Disagree
Healthcare is a Human Right!! A woman Body Belongs to Her!! I am Pro Self-Autonomy it is not my duty as governor to make decisions on people bodies!!
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Neutral
Again Health Care is a Human Right. People should be able to decide what is best for their health even in death. Again as Governor it is not my job to make decisions on people health that is why we have medical professionals with college degrees!!
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
I will be ending necessitate taxes in TN. That means no more taxes on food, housing, utilities, clothing, fuel, etc. Also I will be removing taxes from Small Businesses (30 employees or less) so they can met the new minimum wage standards I will be implementing in TN.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
I would end poor allotment spending such as No Public Dollars going into Stadiums!!! I would retract the fuel bill, where taxpayers are covering the cost of fuel leaks on fuel corporations property and equipment. I would end the privatization of public education and return public dollars back to public education budget. I would end public dollars investment into corporate greed initiatives. The money belongs to taxpayers and the money needs to goes directly to taxpayers hands and into public benefit planning.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Agree
It’s taxpayers money!! If taxpayers want their dollars covering the cost of their kids college then that is what we will do!!!
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Agree
We all have different beliefs. No one belief’s should control, push out or dominate another person belief’s. We need to respect them all and therefore should provide safe spaces for everyone to practice what they believe in peace & without judgment.
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
If the church’s practice is harming, causing harm, or creating harm to people or individuals.
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.
A
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Never!! Again Healthcare is a human right!! And each person along with medical experts should be able to decide what is best. My duty is to ensure the services and resources are readily available. My duty is also to enforce strait sanitation standards via our health department employees and inspectors of businesses as we navigate a 2nd wave pandemic. People are just Flat out Nasty!! It is critical in the food, medical, and other heavy public interactions spaces that we are well sanitize to reduce all spreads of any form.
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Nothing! I believe as a disabled combat veteran America has handled the situation well & correctly. We need to focus on state side and our own issues of terrorism inland with the reemergence of White Hate Groups & January 6th attack on our national government.
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 Agree
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Neutral
America never paid Mexico for the land they took in the Almo War. I believe there is a much more humane approach to the southern boarder besides wasting taxpayers money on a wall.
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Any and everyone. America was founded by immigrants! This is the Land of the Free!! All are welcome for whatever reasons. That is what makes America Great.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Disagree
I support these forms of education if a family chooses it as a option for their home. But not at the cost of public education & taxpayers money that funds public education. If you want private education sources then as the parents you should pay for it.
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Strongly Disagree
Church & state are separated and should remain as such.
I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.
Agree
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition
Disagree
Marriage is a Union of Love. If people want to tie the knot let them. It’s not harming anyone nor is it killing people. This is people trying to impose their beliefs upon another and it’s needs to stop!!
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Agree
Racism is alive and well in America and in all her systems. Also CRT is American History. Ruby Bridges really did happen.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am spiritual faith which means morality rules my souls compass. Right is right & wrong is wrong. Universal God & Power. I am connected to God, and therefore directly speak with God. My Ancestors are my guardian angels and will always guide & protect me.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Agree
Vote is a constitutional right.
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
All voter suppression laws. Make voting completely digital: voting by text.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Yes! Did you see January 6th??? Ever heard of Breonna Taylor??? These are prime examples of Race relationships are still not where they should be in 2022. If we the people in this country do not nip it in the bud we could very well find ourselves in a 2nd Civil War. People are growing tired of being free duck targets as the justice systems fail time & time again to hold Adults accountable for their actions & behaviors.
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Agree
Black People built America. Give the Decedents of Enslaved people in this land their 40Acres.
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.
B
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Disagree
It is too risky and has great consequences if anything goes wrong or done wrong such as poisoning our ground water, surface water, & wildlife.
ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
To equitably give resources, access, & funds to every taxpayer in the country. To protect the country & its people from all threats & harm. To provide infrastructure to care & assist human needs. And guide the people for best life practices.
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 do things based on morals of right & wrong. I am not a Liberal or a Conservative. I am a human being that understands everything is a compromise as it is not about just 1 person it is about all of us and what is best for everyone.

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 support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Strongly Agree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
No Assault Rifles, these are weapons of war & do not belong in civilian hands. Gun permits, rigorous background checks, mental health evaluations. People with extreme medical issues that will make them a danger to society if they a own a gun simply will not be allowed.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Agree
