The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.

Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.

Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.

I was raised in a strict catholic household. I actively practice my faith and my traditional christian values.

I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
No. Those who promote this division in America are driving a wedge between different races and communities. There are endless opportunities for all Americans who are willing to work and sacrifice for their goals.

ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
Government should be limited to providing its citizens with a safe and civilized place to live. This should include protecting our constitutional rights, providing assistance after disasters, a strong military, and secure borders.
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).
Everything that is available is on my campaign social media accounts.
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 want to get real reforms done to make Louisiana more competitive and attractive for businesses and people to stay and thrive here. Insurance, tax, tort, and education reforms are at the top of my list.
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?
Law abiding citizens should have no restrictions. Felons and other violent criminals forfeit that right when they break the law and want to use guns to harm others.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
Gambling should be limited to existing forms and should not be de-regulated or expanded.
Strongly Agree
