OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Only in the instance where the life of the mother is in immediate danger and even then, live delivery is still the option.
Chemical abortion drugs should meet essential safety standards (such as in-person consultation with a medical doctor) and require reporting to gather evidence on reactions and outcomes.
Strongly Agree
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer 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
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
Never. The Government should never be able to interfere with the Church.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Yes. We share commitment to the same values and support for each other against others that wish to destroy our values and way of life.
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. I would like to answer D. However, the catastrophic strain that the amount of then unfunded care would be placed upon our Emergency rooms would cause an excessive spike in private healthcare costs. Unless ERs are to turn away patients based on ability to pay, costs will only then be shifted via private healthcare costs to the tax payers anyways. Minimal government involvement is best, but we do have special needs citizens like those with Downs Syndrome and the elderly that need coverage.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
None.
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
What is your position on the minimum wage?
The Government should not dictate to private employers what they should be paying employees. I do not support increases in minimum wage.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
This is one of the top 2 issues facing Texans today if not the top issue. Without a secure border, we cannot fix our education system, our elections, our security, our healthcare system, etc. It is critical to close our border.
EDUCATION
The state should fund education by allowing dollars to follow the child through programs which protect parents' freedom to choose their child's school – public, private, or homeschool.
Neutral
School choice is important. Parental choice is important. I support this. However, care must be taken to ensure that a school choice bill does not become a government indoctrination bill and we have to be certain to not harm our rural and smaller communities.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Strongly Disagree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
None.
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
Yes
ABOUT YOU
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
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
The government exists to protect and guarantee our rights as citizens. The government's power is derived from the people by the people. It's existence is only meant to perform the will of the people.
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
VALUES
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
Parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.
Strongly Agree
Caveat, I do not believe that they should make decisions for minor children regarding gender and bodily mutilation.
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
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
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a Christian, born and raised in the Church. I believe that I am saved through grace and faith alone through my Savior, Jesus Christ. I believe in a Triune God- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I believe deeply that the Bible is the Truth. I lead my life in a manner in which I can best serve the Lord with all things being to his glory and not mine. In fact, the decision to seek office is an act of Obedience to the Lord and his calling to me. I believe that all people are flawed, but that they are children of God and that God has called us to spread that Good News. I believe in being strong and courageous in defending my faith and values, and that we must refocus our society on God.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.
Strongly Disagree
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Yes, absolutely. Racist ideologies like BLM have lead to rioting and violent, destructive behaviors across the Country. While CRT and DEI programs would like to assert that they are a solution to racism, they are actually perpetuating racism and hatred. It is those racist ideologies that are a threat to our domestic security.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
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
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Which comes closest to your view? (Select all that apply) A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost. C) Stricter environmental laws undermine U.S. energy independence and deter development of reliable electricity sources. D) Climate change is real and requires urgent policy action.
A and C
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Oil and gas.
