OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
None.. Human life begins at conception, and ALL unborn children have a constitutional right to life.. if the life of the mother is in eminent danger, the child can be delivered instead of aborted.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants and Medicaid funding).
Strongly Agree
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
I support eliminating the punitive state income tax, reducing or eliminating the grocery tax, and eliminating residential property taxes for seniors.. Also, as a free market capitalist, I’m not a fan of these local “tourism taxes” that unfairly discriminate against restaurants and hotels.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
I would work to eliminate wasteful spending, reduce our state’s bond indebtedness, see that taxpayer dollars go into maintaining critical infrastructure instead of “recreational” projects.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Under what circumstances should government close churches?
Absolutely none.. never.. to do so is completely unconstitutional
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 options (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 the government should reform healthcare to maximize private health insurance options; D) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.
C.. but Medicaid needs to reformed, not expanded. Medicaid is especially plagued with fraud. My core belief is all government assistance should lead to self-sufficiency, not government dependency.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Absolutely none.. Never
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
I don’t think that the threat of Islamic terrorism can be eradicated.. but the United States could definitely do more to deter it.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Only the ones who enter our country legally.. if they’re not willing to go through the legal process, then we don’t need them here.
EDUCATION
The state should prioritize education funding by allowing dollars to follow the child instead of focusing on programs and administrators.
Strongly Agree
I’m definitely an advocate of School Choice. I do have concerns about our state legislature using a simple “voucher system” as a means to exert control over home educators and private schools. I don’t want our State Board of Education dictating which curriculum homeschoolers have to use or mandating them to conform to nine weeks testing.
If you support giving parents more educational options, please list all of the following options that apply and in priority order: A) A universal Education Savings Account (ESA) program; B) An ESA program for low-income children only; C) Expanding tax credits for businesses to give to private schools; D) Expanding public charter schools; E) Allowing homeschoolers to take classes at the local public school.
C, D
What most closely matches your view on pornography? A) I agree with the American Library Association that any person of any age should have access to any book; B) Library collections, displays and events should be curated using age-appropriate guidelines, similar to what we do for movies (G, PG, R, etc.); C) Mississippi libraries should follow state laws that prevent pornography from being accessible to minors.
C
VALUES
What most closely matches your view on marriage? A) Anything goes; B) Marriage between one man and one woman should be promoted and encouraged; C) A divorce should be hard to get; D) Marriage is important, but no-fault divorce should be allowed.
B
Judeo-Christian values establish a framework of morality that 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
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
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I’m a sinner saved by Grace through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.. only His death and resurrection can secure eternal life. No man cometh to the Father, but by the Son. Jesus is the only way
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What most closely matches your view on ballot measures? A) Ballot measures should be able to amend the constitution with few, if any, restrictions; B) Ballot measures should only be able to propose changes to laws when signatures are collected from people all across the state; C) The current process of allowing the Legislature to propose constitutional amendments will result in the best outcomes.
A and B.. I’m a constitutionalist.. our state constitution clearly defines our initiative process
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?
No.. Moral decay and rampant criminality are the threat to our domestic security, and all races have been responsible.
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
ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
The Preamble says it best.. “to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity”
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).
https://restore-liberty.org/endorsements/mississippi-endorsements/
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?
I am a conservative activist.. I’ve worked on and promoted legislation for election integrity, medical freedom, legislative term limits, second amendment and the ballot initiative process.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Disagree
Depending on where you are, “departmental policy” isn’t always conducive with the law.. All individuals (including law enforcement officers) should be required to operate within the confines of the law and subject to prosecution if found to be in violation thereof.
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Strongly Disagree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
None.. restrictions on guns are counter productive to protecting public safety and unconstitutional.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
