OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
NEVER
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.
Strongly Disagree
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
We should have a FAIRTAX.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Department of Education
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree
The government should be left entirely out of education.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Religious freedom is a very large part of the very core of our nation's founding.
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
They can't. AT ALL. EVER.
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.
D!
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Under NO circumstances should they be allowed to require any vaccinations.
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Start by not sending any more money or aid. Then, make it known that if they attack us or an ally, we will retaliate with the forse of our military.
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 Disagree
I stand 100% with Israel.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
We need to build the wall.
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Anyone who wishes to come in legally and has no violent criminal history, or ties to criminal/terrorist organizations, and comes the right way, pay the fees, go through the security checks, pay the same taxes, and NOT live off the government.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
We desperately need voucher programs.
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Strongly Agree
I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
You are either male or female. There is no in-between, no third/fourth/fifth options, and you have absolutely no say in what your gender is.
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition
Strongly Agree
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
CRT is a bogus system put in place by the left to further divide us as a nation. CRT in and of itself is truly racist.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a born-again believer in God Almighty.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
Photo ID should be required to vote for dog catcher.
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
I would insist that you cannot change party affiliation at the voting booth on the day of voting.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
There will always be racism from people of every race. There will always be racism towards every race. This is impossible to stop. There are good people and bad people from every race on the planet. Do the bad outweigh the good? Who truly knows?
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
NEVER! Nobody alive in America today ever owned a slave. Nobody alive in America today ever was a slave or was ever directly affected by slavery.
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.
A
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
This creates jobs. We need jobs.
ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
To represent the people.
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?
Very 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.
No
What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
If I am elected, I will represent everyone. Not only those who voted for me.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Strongly Agree
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Neutral
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
We need LESS restrictions. Gun laws only affect law abiding citizens. Criminals do NOT obey the law.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
Guns don't kill people. People kill people. If this were to pass legislation could we then have automobile manufacturers and dealers sued due to drunk driving accidents?
