OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
When the life of the mother is in jeopardy.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Agree
For Abortions - funding should not be provided.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
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.
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
I am a candidate for a state position.
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.
Choose not to answer
I am running for a state position.
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 is closest.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
In case of a public health emergency, to protect students -- herd immunity, for safety working in certain job fields, i.e., health professionals. Credible data available to the public is needed; exemptions allowed.
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
At the State/County level, phase out the car tax.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
No amount of spending can be reduced sufficiently in order to balance the budget currently. It will take a thorough review of all agencies, their programs and overhead, and entitlement programs.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
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?
Should align immigration with labor market needs, e.g., high-skilled, STEM talent, and job creators, with provisions for essential low-skilled workers in agriculture, construction, elder care, etc. Also, should honor international commitments to protect refugees and asylum seekers, with temporary protected status (TPS).
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree

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

I support the 2nd Amendment.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
ABOUT YOU

Government exists to protect individual rights and freedoms, drawing its legitimacy from the people it serves.

What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
Lower taxes - cut the Virginia car tax, no tax on tips, legislation that would promote a strong economy (ie., deregulate where needed) and protect the right to work laws. Improve public safety - support law enforcement, no casino in Fairfax County, no boys allowed girl sports. Strengthen education - legislate the requirement for public school systems to conduct an independent program audit on a 3-5 year basis, school vouchers, scholarships, and education tax credits.
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Agree
I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.

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