OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

“I am unequivocally pro-life, pro-Mom, and pro-woman. I support President Trump’s position (which he described as the “same as Ronald Reagan”) to ban all abortions, except in the case of rape, incest, and protecting the life of the mother.”

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?

The best tax codes are simple, fair, and applied uniformly across the base. A lower rate with a larger base promotes fairness for all. I will work toward providing tax relief for all Mississippians. The less money the government takes from citizens, the more money our citizens have to invest in the economy and spur growth.

What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?

I believe in adequately funding government without raising taxes on citizens to do it. In Mississippi the legislature is required to balance the budget each year and I believe we have done that buy cutting wasteful spending in agencies all by doing it in a way that does not affect services for the people of our state.


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?

None


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

Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?

I strongly believe in an individual’s right to choose what to insert into his or her body, especially as it relates to healthcare. I believe in religious exemptions and freedom of choice. I will support smart policies that take into consideration these fundamental beliefs.


NATIONAL SECURITY

What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?

We must first focus on educating our citizens as to the value proposition of the United States: If our children are raised to appreciate the freedoms we enjoy, I believe they will fight to defend our nation’s way of life against anyone who threatens it – be it radical Islamic terrorists or those wishing to promote an anti-freedom, pro-communist viewpoint.


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?

Anyone that does so legally.


EDUCATION

The state should prioritize education funding by allowing dollars to follow the child instead of focusing on programs and administrators.

Strongly Agree

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.

Distribute educational funds in a manner that they follow the student to any school, whether public, private, charter, or home school through means of tax exemptions and/or credits.

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 accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior at a young age. I grew up attending church. I believe we should love our neighbor as our self and treat others the way we want to be treated.


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.

B


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?

Any ideology that pits one person against another person based on race, creed, color, etc. is dangerous for America’s future. This nation was founded as a great “melting pot” with a shared goal of freedom and liberty for all, not uniformity of race, thought, political view points, etc.


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?

To quote the Constitution “Establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty”

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).

N/A

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 believe in protecting the unborn, lowering taxes, keeping the woke liberal agenda out of Mississippi and protecting the rights of EVERY Mississippian.


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.

Strongly Disagree


2ND AMENDMENT

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

None

Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.

Strongly Disagree
