OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Life is a Gift from God and in no cases should abortion be terminated or aborted.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
In no cases should a Government based on In God we Trust support killing of innocent babies.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
Birth and Death are at the Mercy and Hands of our Creator. Man shall stile to Live till their last rights or breath from above.
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
The State income Tax should be eliminated and abolished. Also establishment of incentives to attract and retain businesses. Non profits must substantiate their actions with verifiable community service to maintain existing exempt status.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
All expenses top to bottom need to be completely reviewed for need and justification of existence. We should not be a hand out state to those taking advantage of our unprecedented give away instead of incentives to get people to work instead of being their best.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Agree
In addition to higher education with verifiable goals and objectives Trade Schools and even extra education in new and innovative programs to foster and facilitate learning and education.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Owners of private business have a.right to refuse services for any reason and the consumer has a right to choose who they patronize without threat or intimidation
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
Under no circumstances should legitimate places of World be closed unless a threat that would harm civilians exists and agreed to my the State and Religious institutions.
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.
Heath care is HEALTH care. Insurance should be affordable and available to ALL citizens regardless of race, heath or economics. It’s is a right and privilege like in other countries like Canada. In Louisiana ALL babies, our future tax payers should be on the State!
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
None, choice should be with and by the individual not the Government with its proven bad track record.

Providing a peaceful environment and society for All and create and maintain a We the People society

Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).
Minimal as I am not a career politician and just an experienced professional in business
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, I was charged in a matter that was unproven or substantiated and took a Plea, not an admission of Guily to protect my family and business and ultimately the matter was expunged. Sadly the media printed false and misleading information in which I challenged. The matter was closed and of no consequence other than being tried by a newspaper which never verified there false and misleading story
What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
As a independent it is Ny job to bring all people together and know in this broken system of party politics no one wins other than the destructive behavior of legislators and until such time they become God fearing have lost… we can and will do better. I was born a Republican, ran for mayor as a democrat and now proud to be a No party independent and will stake my life on the Bible, not politics.

Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.

OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
Gambling should be limited to existing forms and should not be de-regulated or expanded.

Gambling is not an occupation but an entertainment and people need to understand the difference. License hold will be held accountable for any unethical behavior that is deemed harmful to residents especially elderly
Children should be protected from sexualization on the internet, in public schools, and in the public libraries
Strongly Agree
Moral and decent behavior is not only a right it is a Requirement and those testing the limits will be held accountable.
