OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

I align with the current law in Georgia.

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.

Disagree


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?

No federal minimum wage. Allow state and local govt to apply based on regional costs of living. I support free market, job creation policies that allow for the employer and the employee to negotiate wages without any govt intervention.

Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?

No


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Under what circumstances can government close churches?

Only if the church and its leaders are imposing fraud on the congregation and/or do not legitimately operate as a place of worship as defined by the IRS.

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Strongly Disagree


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. For able-bodied citizens, medicaid should be a temporary safety-net available for those actively seeking employment, education, or vocational training. I support the Georgia Pathways program.

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

For vaccines proven safe and effective over the long-term should be continued. New vaccines must be carefully studied over a period of time sufficient to prove safety & efficacy, especially for children. Allergies and religion freedom as exemptions.


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?

As a conservative I support a strong national defense and that requires us to have solid relationships with and support for our global allies – Israel is an important ally of the US. Israel is a sovereign nation with defined borders and should do what it believes it must to protect its nation and people from attacks and aggression and the US should fully support them.


IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Agree

Build the wall. Employ all forms of surveillance technology, and, when invaded, deploy the military to protect the sovereignty of our borders.


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.

Strongly Agree


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

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.

Neutral

I personally agree as a Catholic that marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. However, I do not believe the govt should be involved in the legal definition of marriage.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

As a politically conservative Catholic I uphold traditional Catholic teachings and values such as the importance of the traditional family, pro-life, and the preservation of traditional marriage. I support religious freedom and adhere to Catholic doctrines in my public and political life. I will support policies that will restrict abortion and promote social justice initiatives in line with Catholic teaching.


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?

No.

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 & C. I strongly support a healthy environment and balanced ecosystems and believe we all should personally endeavor to keep our air and water clean and safe. However, govt agencies and embedded bureaucrats need to be reigned in and limited in their programs and enforcement powers through legislation.

What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?

Fossil Fuels


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 purpose of govt is to maintain social order, protect individual rights and freedoms, and promote the common good of society. Govt should maintain strong national security and defend its boarders, citizens, and way of life. Govts should preserve law and order while emphasizing the rights of the individual with limit government intervention in the economy and the personal lives of citizens. Govt must uphold the importance of traditional values and institutions.

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?

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
