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

People should have a choice whether to receive the Covid 19 vaccine. Louisiana Citizens should not be mistreated by the government whether they received the vaccine or not.


NATIONAL SECURITY

Strongly Disagree


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?

All should be allowed to immigrate to the US as long as all immigration laws are followed 100% of the time.


EDUCATION

I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.

Agree


VALUES

Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which 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 am a Christian. I believe that God sent his son Jesus Christ to die on the cross so that my sins could be forgiven. I believe that being I have accepted him into my heart as my personal Lord and Savior, I will live forever in eternity in heaven with him. I am a member of Bethlehem Baptist Church in Albany Louisiana where I teach Sunday School. I believe it is important to have a relationship with God and to teach others it is important to have a relationship with God. I believe it is important to teach others that God loves them and that God wants to have a relationship with them. When it comes to laws dealing with moral values and laws dealing with discrmination, I'll be receiving direction on how to vote from the Holy Bible and the Holy Spirit.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?

Support laws that only allow US citizens and Louisiana citizens 18 and older the right to vote


EQUALITY

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?

Yes, when people, sometimes large groups, feel the government is mistreating them due to color, race, national origin, etc., they will sometimes protest or retaliate violently. This is a threat to domestic security. Government must protect people and businesses from violent offenders. Government must also ensure our laws prohibit discrimination based on national origin, race, color, sex, or religion. All must be equally treated. All must feel that their government exist to serve and protect all citizens.


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

I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.

Strongly Disagree
