OTHER INFORMATION
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 support protecting life.
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Medically necessary to save the life of mother in the most extreme and rare cases. Such abortions should be rare.
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Strongly Agree
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Strongly Agree
Embryos have the spark of life and are living human beings.
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?
While I believe workers deserve fair wages, I oppose large increases to minimum wage as it hurts small business owners. I support market-driven wage growth and policies the help business expand and compete with better wages.
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
I appraise real property and understand private property rights and will fight to protect them. Everyone should own dirt and have the freedom to free use of their private property.
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
1. Audit every state department to identify unnecessary spending and programs that are not delivering results 2. Eliminate redundancy in all state departments by reducing bureaucracy (red tape) and unnecessary administrative positions 3. Prioritize Constitutional Responsibilities - focus on essential duties such as public safety, border security, infrastructure and education.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
Government must not establish or control religion, our constitution protects both freedom of religion and freedom from Government interference in religious practices as the founders intended, to prevent government control, not to silence faith in the public square.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
No, I believe and support the First Amendment rights and individual business owners should not be forced to violate sincerely held beliefs. No American business or individual should be compelled to provide services.
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 support reforming Medicare and Medicaid to eliminate the waste, fraud and abuse including unsustainable spending of long-term taxpayer burdens without expansion.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
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, as are all international relationships with foreign leaders very important aspects. I believe in America first and foremost, which means STRONG American leaders, that do not bow to demands of other leaders/foreign countries, period.
IMMIGRATION
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree
Its just Common Sense - they are illegally here.
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
Yes! 10th Amendment
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
I support Parents Rights!
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.
Neutral
Personal choices made by adults of age = Freedom.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Christian believer in Christ as the one and only savior. Amen
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
Photo ID required and Only Citizens Vote. Vote Centers have replaced precinct voting therefore the need for identification is greater, when we are able to vote anywhere in our county outside of the home precinct. Secure elections start with identifying the voter and who they present themselves to be.
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?
Small nuclear and fossil fuels!
ABOUT YOU

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 penalize the criminal and provide justice/re-compensation to the victim. Letting criminals out on the streets with no bail is insanity.
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
100%
