OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
As a Christian, I believe that life begins at conception, and it is our moral obligation to protect the unborn. Taxpayers' dollars should never be used to support abortion providers. Public funds should be directed toward healthcare services that respect the sanctity of life.
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Suppose the pregnancy is a product of rape or incest, or if the life of the mother is endangered.
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Strongly Agree
As a conservative, I believe that human life is inherently valuable and worthy of legal protection from the moment of conception. From that point until natural death, the role of government should be to protect life, not diminish its value or determine when it is expendable.
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Strongly Agree
I believe that human embryos created by artificial means deserve the same legal and moral protection as all other human life. I will fight to ensure they are treated with the dignity and respect that every human life deserves.
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Strongly Agree
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
I believe that our Nation was founded upon Christian ideology, and that our founders knew that our system of government had to be based on Christian principles for it to work. I believe that when you remove biblical principles and morality from our government, we see moral decay and corruption that are now rampant in our communities. I believe we must seek change by implementing policies firmly rooted in Christian principles and morality.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
The government should not force individuals and businesses to act in ways that violate their moral or religious beliefs. Protecting freedom of religious liberty is essential to a free society, and that freedom should mean allowing people to live and work according to their values.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
The Chinese Communist Party represents a serious threat to the United States. Chinese military expansion, cyber espionage, and theft of intellectual property are pressing concerns. I believe the U.S. must use all means necessary to protect our citizens at home and abroad from the CCP.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Yes, they have been a long-standing strategic ally with the United States, and the relationship with Israel is essential to our national security and standing in the Middle East.
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) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Neutral
ECONOMY
What is your position on the minimum wage?
As a candidate for the North Carolina House of Representatives from a rural county, I believe any increases in the minimum wage imposed on employers would likely harm existing small businesses, which are the backbone of tier 1 counties like mine.
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
Free enterprise and the right to private property are key to economic freedom, advancement, growth, and prosperity. When people are free to own property, build businesses, and compete fairly, they create jobs, grow local communities, and expand opportunities for everyone.
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
First, I will work with the Office of the State Auditor, now mandated to review state programs under the recently enacted DAVE Act, to ensure state efficiency and prioritize departmental accountability. Second, to scrutinize and review approprioations of the state budget to be used by departments. Third, use recyclable products for government use.
IMMIGRATION
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Strongly Agree
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?
The criminal justice system should serve 1) as a deterrent to crime, and 2) to provide safety to the citizens.
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Strongly Agree
Protecting children from sexual exploitation is one of the most essential responsibilities of our government. Its duty is to safeguard the innocent, uphold public safety, and ensure that those who prey on children are held fully accountable. We must enact and enforce strong laws that impose severe penalties on child predators, making it unmistakably clear that crimes against children will not be tolerated.
Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.
Strongly Agree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
I am a Constituional Carry proponent. I believe that the government should not restrict or reduce our constitutionally given right to bear arms. I believe the firearms that you hold are your last line of defense against evil.
ABOUT YOU
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
I consider myself to be a Conservative Republican who holds our Constitution in the highest regard.
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
VALUES
Government should recognize and support the fundamental right and essential duty of parents to direct their child's health and educational well-being.
Strongly Agree
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.
Strongly Agree
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 support the expansion of gambling in my state.
Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a Christian who has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I strive to incorporate Christian principles in every facet of my life. My faith has been a driving factor in my success as a businessman and as a father.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
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
Biological males have no place in women's spaces or in women's sports, with no exceptions.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Strongly Disagree
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Natural gas and nuclear power are the most reliable sources. Natural gas is plentiful, while nuclear provides steady power around the clock. Renewable energy can help, but it cannot fully replace reliable energy sources.
