QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
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
ECONOMY
I support using taxpayer funds to lobby the state legislature and/or U.S. Congress.
Disagree
It is the responsibility of city government to provide subsidized housing at taxpayer expense.
Disagree
The city government must take steps to ensure affordable housing is available for ALL residents of Daytona Beach, however subsidized housing is not the only answer. The city must explore options such as special programs, grants, incentives, and other measures to ensure the spending of tax payer dollars is kept to a minimum.
Property taxes should be abolished.
Disagree
The city government should work to reduce taxes for residents and businesses wherever responsibly possible, however tax revenue is still essential for the city government to function.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Choose not to answer
Government should never engage in discrimination against any individual, organization, business owner, or any other entity they serve for any reason.
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
Choose not to answer
Government must protect and respect the right to Religious Freedom.
IMMIGRATION
City officials should have the right to proclaim their city a sanctuary city for illegal aliens.
Neutral
I have no intention to explore the idea of making Daytona Beach a sanctuary city. The city must work closely with the state and federal government to mitigate and resolve any impact felt from this crisis.
VALUES
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe in the power of individuality, family, and community. Through connection with each other, we build a stronger community!

Agree
Children should never be exposed to sexually explicit material. Materials in publicly funded entities that serve children should always be reviewed to determine if they are appropriate for their intended audience.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Disagree
All filings by candidates for municipal office, including ballot application and campaign finance reports, should be available for public online access on the city website within 24 hours of filing deadline.
Strongly Agree
Any campaign finances or filings should be available to the public as quickly as possible.
Ballot measures which include bond issues should fully disclose both the potential tax rate increase and actual monetary increase for the average single family residence.
Agree
Any proposition that involves a tax rate increase should be fully disclosed to voters.

Choose not to answer
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Taxpayers should subsidize green initiatives such as electric vehicle charging stations.

Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.
No
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
The general purpose of government is very simple:
Candidates and officeholders should be required to disclose all business investments and real estate, whether in the city or in an area currently proposed for annexation.
Strongly Agree
Citizens deserve full transparency when any government annexation is presented. Citizens reserve the right to understand all factors that could influence a decision executed by the City Government.
Please list your business investments and/or real estate, whether within the city or in an area currently proposed for annexation.

As a City Commissioner, I am firmly committed to ensuring all decisions are made in the best interest of the residents and businesses of Daytona Beach, and are not influenced by political party.
I voted in these primaries and general elections:
2022 General Election
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Neutral
I am firmly committed to providing full support for our community’s first responders. Any redirection of funds in regards to public safety should only be considered after consultation with public safety officials, as well as local residents & businesses.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Did not answer
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.
Choose not to answer
LOCAL
I support annual financial audits of every city department by an independent, third party auditor.
Strongly Agree
Any entity managed by the city and funded by tax payer money should adhere to the fullest level of transparency. Residents have a right to know where their tax money is being spent or saved.
Please list up to three issues or projects that you think need the most attention.
We must focus on public safety, responsible economic development, and government transparency. I believe these issues are fundamental to the success of Daytona Beach city government.
