Candidate signed the 2026 Abolish Abortion Texas Abolitionist Pledge.

Signed the Texas First Pledge

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

I believe that live begins at conception and I am in favor of equal protection for everyone. As such, I am 100% against abortion.

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

None

Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.

Strongly Agree

I have signed the pledge for Equal Protection.

The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.

Strongly Agree

The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.

Strongly Agree


ECONOMY

What is your position on the minimum wage?

I think the minimum wage should be zero. Having a government enforced minimum wage is in conflict with free markets.

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

Strongly Agree

List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.

1. Stronger oversight and audits to improve efficiency and eliminate programs and departments that are redundant or superfluous. 2. Zero based budgeting. 3. Stop providing benefits for illegals.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

It means that the church should not fear the government which was what Thomas Jefferson intended to convey when he penned those words.

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

Strongly Disagree

Absolutely not. Again, the free market will decide the winners and losers without the government putting a thumb on the scale.


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 think as a society, we should care for the indigent and elderly as needed. Applicants should be thoroughly vetted and those programs should be audited regularly to ensure that only those who are truly in need are on those programs.

The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.

Strongly Disagree

I don't want the government keeping track of our medical records.


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 Christian, I believe that relationship is important. I also believe that Israel is a stabilizing force in a very volatile part of the world where vital natural resources are present.


IMMIGRATION

I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.

Strongly Disagree

I think any elected official who creates or facilitates sanctuary cities should be prosecuted.


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


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.

Strongly Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a Christian so I believe in one God and I follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, whom I believe is the Son of God and my personal Savior. My core spiritual values include love, forgiveness, compassion, humility, and service to others and I look to the Bible for guidance and seek to live according to God’s will, emphasizing faith, prayer, and moral responsibility.


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


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?

The most reliable source is the sun but solar technology is not yet sufficient to meet our needs. Nuclear energy is the cleanest form of energy that would meet our growing needs and we should expand this in areas where we can safely do so.


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

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


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?

To protect society by holding offenders accountable for their crimes.

Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.

Strongly Agree

Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.

Strongly Agree

I would also add that anyone seeking to implement Sharia Law within the United States should be deported and banned from ever re-entering the United States.


2ND AMENDMENT

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

I do have concerns about some weapons being available to the general public. For example, I don't want my neighbor having a bazooka or stinger missiles etc. But in general, I think that any laws prohibiting the carrying of handguns should be abolished and people should be able to decide if they want to enter a business where they are prohibited from carrying a weapon to defend themselves. The free market will then decide if that business will make it.
