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

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Elective abortion should not be allowed. I believe life begins at conception, and every innocent human life deserves protection. Arizona should be a state that defends the unborn, supports mothers, strengthens families, and expands real alternatives like adoption, pregnancy resource centers, and compassionate care for women facing difficult circumstances. My position is simple: protect life, support mothers, and stand for the most vulnerable among us.

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

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 support growing wages through a strong economy, job creation, and lower taxes, not excessive mandates that hurt small businesses. Any minimum wage changes should balance helping workers while protecting jobs and Arizona’s economy.

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.

Conduct aggressive audits of state agencies and expose waste, fraud, and abuse. Eliminate DEI programs and politically driven spending. Cut bureaucratic overhead and return money to core services. Increase transparency and public accountability. Require balanced, responsible budgeting.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

“Separation of church and state” means the government cannot establish or control a religion, but it does not mean people of faith must be silent in public life. Faith, values, and religious freedom have always been part of America’s foundation.

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.

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. Israel is one of America’s strongest allies in the Middle East, a key partner in national security, intelligence, and economic cooperation, and shares our commitment to democracy and freedom. I strongly support the U.S.-Israel relationship.


IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Disagree


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.

Neutral

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a Christian and ordained minister who believes in biblical truth, personal responsibility, faith, family, freedom, and serving others with integrity. My faith shapes my values, leadership, and commitment to protecting life, families, and religious liberty.


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?

Natural gas and nuclear energy are the most reliable long term energy sources to meet growing electricity demand because they provide stable, dependable power while supporting American energy independence and economic growth.


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.

Yes. Earlier in my life, I made mistakes that resulted in a felony convictions. I took responsibility, completed all legal requirements, had my rights restored, and have spent my life since then serving my community, leading organizations, helping families, and fighting for Arizona values. My record since then reflects faith, growth, accountability, and proven leadership.


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?

The goal of the criminal justice system should be to protect public safety, hold criminals accountable, deliver justice fairly, support victims, and reduce repeat offenses through accountability, rehabilitation, and strong enforcement of the law.

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


2ND AMENDMENT

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

Law-abiding citizens have a constitutional right to keep and bear arms. The focus should be on enforcing existing laws, prosecuting violent criminals, and protecting due process, not creating new restrictions that punish responsible gun owners.
