Moderate
Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).
Not at this time
Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized in either civil or criminal court for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.
Felony yes for firearms… not sex crimes. There isn’t much to explain but I can say this. No one can beat the law and it’s very sad that criminal minded people try to. I know my place and I’m spreading the word to as many people that I can..STAY THE HELL OUT OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM! Know your place in society, BE HELPFUL AND NOT HARMFUL
What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
I want the politicians to treat us with respect and stop acting like we are beneath them. Help your community or district. Don’t come out when you are trying to win a political seat and after you win we won’t see or hear from you again. I want to change the gun laws and want them registered twice a year. I want the age requirement to be raised to 25 years of age. Also, I want citizens to have a MENTAL HEALTH EVALUATION and references before they can buy a gun. I’m determined to fight for positive change
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
Dear police, you are well respected but can you please treat us like you would want to be treated? You work for the public but some of you don’t believe that. You don’t only come to work to fight crime, you are supposed to keep the peace as well!
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Choose not to answer
We need our police to come into the community and interact with the public. Someone informed me that the police already do this but I have not seen it. I don’t want to defund them but I believe some of them need severe and intense therapy. All of the POLICE BRUTALITY is not necessary. We want to live
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Age requirement should change to 25, Linger background check
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Neutral
