QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Did not answer
Chemical abortion drugs should meet essential safety standards (such as in-person consultation with a medical doctor) and require reporting to gather evidence on reactions and outcomes.
Strongly Agree
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer 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.
Choose not to answer
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
What is your position on the minimum wage?
The minimum wage is detrimental to businesses and employees who are trying to start their careers.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
I cannot imagine any circumstance if they are operating as a legitimate institution of worship and not engaged in illegal activity.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
What liberal activists are doing to business owners like Jack Phillips is disgusting.
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) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.
C, however, government sponsored Medicare should be reformed to ensure that able-bodied adults are not taking advantage of the program designed to help those is most need.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
I fought along Governor DeSantis during COVID-19 to ensure that there were no force vaccinations and individuals had the freedom to choose.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Yes.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Illegal aliens and criminal activity coming across our border is an incredible threat to every American citizen. There are dangerous criminals and terrorists entering this country without any trace and the amount of fentanyl and other illegal drugs are killing our youth at alarming rates.
EDUCATION
The state should fund education by allowing dollars to follow the child through programs which protect parents' freedom to choose their child's school – public, private, or homeschool.
Strongly Agree
VALUES
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
Parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.
Strongly Agree
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
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.
Did not answer
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a Believer who committed himself to God on October 9, 2022.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
As the Election Day Operations Director for Rick Scott’s 2018 senate campaign, I know first hand the tricks played to influence elections. We must have physical photo identification for anyone to vote. We must also reform the vote-by-mail system because it is ripe for fraud.
States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.
Strongly Disagree
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
No, and I do not believe in the premise of the question. While there may exist racism towards every race and creed, there is not wide-spread racism and certainly not creating a domestic security threat.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
Biological males should not be allowed to participate in women's sports or occupy biological women's spaces whether it be bathrooms, locker rooms, sorority houses, women's shelters, or prison.
Strongly Agree
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Which comes closest to your view? (Select all that apply) A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost. C) Stricter environmental laws undermine U.S. energy independence and deter development of reliable electricity sources. D) Climate change is real and requires urgent policy action.
C
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
We need to tap into the resources we have available in the United States, including natural gas and micro-nuclear sites. Additionally, states and private utilities should be able to invest in energy sources that make sense like solar in Florida.
ABOUT YOU
Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.
No.
Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.
No.
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
preserve the freedoms of individuals, protecting them from foreign threats, and maintaining law & order
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
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Strongly Disagree
I strongly disagree and am proud to have the endorsement of Florida’s largest police organizations, the Fraternal Order of Police and Police Benevolent Association.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Individuals who have not committed felony offenses should be allow to purchase guns for their protection.
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
No
While I do not believe teachers should be allowed to carry while teaching, I support investment in school resource officers and other administrative staff with proper training to be armed. Schools safety is an utmost priority.
