OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.

Agree

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds or grants from federal, state, or local governments.

Agree

I support the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which requires health care providers to provide life-saving treatment for infants who survive an attempted abortion.

Agree

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

All human life is inherently valuable. There are physicians who understand this and choose to treat medical conditions in pregnant mothers that honor the life of the baby, even in circumstances when the baby may not survive, without intentionally ending the baby’s life. These are the practices we should be elevating.


ECONOMY

It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.

Disagree

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

Agree

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Disagree

What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?

Indiana’s budget is balanced thanks to strong, conservative leadership. Keeping it balanced in the future will require us to seriously address issues related to the benefits cliff that keeps people dependent on government support.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Governments should define marriage as between one man and one woman; no other definition of marriage should be legalized or supported with taxpayer or public funds.

Agree

Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.

Neutral

Religious liberty is enshrined in our state and federal constitutions, and that is the highest level of legal protection.

I promise to protect the freedom of Christians to share the Gospel and to practice Biblical principles.

Yes

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

That is a quote from the writing of Thomas Jefferson intended not to make government completely secular but to insulate religious practice from onerous government intervention.


HEALTHCARE

It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.

Disagree

How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?

Returning health care to free market principles through access to expanded health savings accounts, direct physician care, and deregulation.


NATIONAL SECURITY

The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.

Agree


IMMIGRATION

I am in favor of construction of a wall and other necessary infrastructure on our border that gives complete control over entering and exiting the United States.

Agree

State and federal funds should be denied to any public or private entity, including but not limited to sanctuary cities, that are not in compliance with immigration laws.

Agree

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

Following and enforcing immigration laws with fidelity should ensure a fair and beneficial system of immigration.


VALUES

Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality that is necessary for our system of limited government.

Agree

I support adding sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression as protected classes in non-discrimination laws.

Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a conservative Christian.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Disagree

The Electoral College should be abolished.

Disagree


EQUALITY

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?

Law enforcement and the justice system are in place to deal with crime, which is action, not thought. If a crime is committed, there is a penalty for the crime, not for the thoughts or feelings of the criminal.


ABOUT YOU

When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and immigration, which of the following best describes you overall?

Conservative

What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?

My career in public policy and my service in local government are widely known.

Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.

No

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?

Did not answer


JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY

I support the use of Sharia law as a basis for legislation and judicial decisions in the United States.

Disagree


2ND AMENDMENT

Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?

Yes

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

Criminal background checks should continue to be required. Felons and violent criminals should not legally possess firearms.


OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES

I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.

Disagree

In priority order, what three areas of legislation do you propose to author or sponsor if elected?

I would like to address the benefits cliff that keeps many people stuck in government benefits. I would like to see referendum reform considered as part of the state’s ongoing work to address property tax concerns in the sate.
