OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

To save the life of the mother. However, that would take place as a medical emergency and inside of a hospital and not an abortion clinic.

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive 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.

Strongly Disagree


ECONOMY

What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?

Groceries should not be taxed. Food is a basic necessity for everyone. I would also like to look at other ways we could lower taxes for every taxpayer. Eliminating the grocery sales tax is the first step in the right direction. We need relief from over taxation.

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

I would need to see what our government is spending before I could give a definite answer to that question. I would say we could reduce spending on anything that is not an essential part of services that government should provide from the tax dollars it collects from the taxpayers. Example of some essential services would be our roads and highway maintenance and police protection.

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Strongly Disagree


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 can government close churches?

None. It should be up to each individual Church to decide for themselves if a circumstance should warrant the decision to close or not.


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.

c

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

no mandates.


NATIONAL SECURITY

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

Secure the borders of our Nation and enforce our immigration laws. Currently, we have no idea who is coming across our borders and what their intentions are for coming to our country. We also need better vetting of any person applying to come to America from an Islamic Country. Organizations with ties to terrorism should not be allowed to operate chapters on college campuses. Colleges should not be allowed to accept funds from organizations with ties to terrorism.

I support the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement to pressure Israel to withdraw from occupied territories, remove the separation barrier in the West Bank, allow full equality for Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel, and promote the rights of Palestinian refugees.

Strongly Disagree


IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Agree

Our country is currently being invaded and our federal government has been aiding in this invasion.

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

People who go through the legal process to immigrate and want to assimilate to our country to become an American.


EDUCATION

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

Strongly 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 believe in God the father, Christ Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I believe in salvation from sin through Jesus Christ who died and rose again. He took upon himself the sins of the world and it is only through him that we have salvation from sin. My values align with biblical values. Love God and love others, serve God and serve others, honesty, integrity, family, morality and decency.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?

The mail in ballots can only be used by our military who are away and people who are disabled from coming to the ballot box. All mail in ballots must have the signature verified before separation from the envelope.


EQUALITY

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

It could be a threat if someone with hate in their heart towards people of a different color decided to kill or harm others based on what race they are.

Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.

Strongly Disagree


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.

Agree


ABOUT YOU

What do you think is the general purpose of government?

To defend and secure our individual liberties and freedoms and provide essential services such as maintain our roads and highways. Provide safety through law and order, protect and secure our 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?

Conservative

Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).

I have been on some news reporting in the past, I have made public comments at school board meetings and a city council meeting.

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 am a proven leader with a servant's heart, and I will be a strong advocate for the people. People over politics and the taxpayers need relief from the high inflation in the quickest way possible. I believe that begins with tax reform starting with the removal of the grocery tax.


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?

People who are convicted violent criminals, people declared insane by licensed psychiatrist. Domestic violence offenders.

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

Strongly Disagree
