QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
We currently have a laws in Florida that address this and these laws were passed through the democratic process, I support laws that were established through our democratic process.
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.
Choose not to answer
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Choose not to answer
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Choose not to answer
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 agreement between an employer and an employee should be just that, without government interference
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
Choose not to answer
If that is what a majority of my constituents want then yes but if not then the answer is no. I am here to represent my constituents and what they want is top priority
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
NONE
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
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.
Unless we completely change the way we approach healthcare, none of these answers are a sustainable solution.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
The government already mandates vaccinations
NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Agree
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Th relationship with all countries the United States holds a strategic interest with is important because, we have a strategic interest with that country
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Agree
The reality that no one wants to discuss is that we have a falling birth rate and the only way to sustain that replenishing birth rate is with people having more babies or immigration, since people are choosing not to have more babies we are left with immigration. We should secure the border and create more entry control points where we can control who comes in and out of the country and create a streamlined process. The reality is this can only be achieved with the involvement of our military
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
This really doesn't address the issues we have with education. We need to modernize our current education and change the way children are taught. Coding, software development, cryptocurrency, blockchain, and the trades must be incorporated in every primary school.
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.
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.
Choose not to answer
I do not believe the government should be involved in the institute of marriage but there are other religions that might not believe marriage is God-ordained but do believe that it is the legal union between one man and woman therefore this question is insufficient.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Those are private
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Disagree
States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.
Disagree
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
The biggest threat to domestic security is cultural Marxism and the socialist necons.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
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.
I believe we can find a balance with regulations that protect our drinking water and environment, and promote U.S. Energy Independence
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
With the current technology, fossil fuels are the only reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity
ABOUT YOU

What do you think is the general purpose of government?
To protect the natural rights of each individual.
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
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Choose not to answer
It really doesn't matter what I support, it matters what a majority of my constituents support.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
We currently have restrictions on gun ownership to protect the public
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
Choose not to answer
This question is not addressing the core problem that we have. Before we can address the question of should teachers be allowed to carry guns in school, we must address why they would need to carry guns, and the root problem of the behaviors which will lead to teachers needing to carry guns in school. With that being said, there should also be no additional restrictions to our second amendment right.
