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?

I do not believe elective abortion should be allowed under any circumstance. In rare medical emergencies, such as severe heart complications or other life-threatening conditions involving the mother, every possible effort should be made to save both the mother and the child. Modern medicine has advanced to the point where premature babies can often survive at very early stages, and the goal should always be preserving life whenever possible, not intentionally ending it.

Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.

Strongly Agree

I agree because an unborn child is a human life, and every human being deserves legal protection. Our founding principles recognize the right to life, liberty, and equal protection, and those rights should apply to all human beings, including the unborn, from conception until natural death.

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

Strongly Agree

The standard pratice has been to fertilize 3 eggs in hopes that 1 will be viable, we need to work on advancing IVF so that 1 egg is suffient to promote a viable pregnancy.

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

Strongly Agree

I agree. The Comstock Act should be enforced as written, including restrictions on the interstate distribution of abortion inducing drugs. Medication abortions have become one of the most common forms of abortion in America, and enforcing existing federal law is an important step in protecting unborn life and ensuring accountability and oversight.


ECONOMY

What is your position on the minimum wage?

I believe minimum wage increases often hurt the very people they are meant to help. Small businesses struggle with higher labor costs, prices rise, jobs are reduced, and inflation cancels out wage gains. Government seems to be the main benefactor.

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 a full audit of Missouri state agencies and eliminate redundant programs, unnecessary administrative positions, and wasteful spending. Reduce government overreach and regulations that create unnecessary costs for businesses, farmers, and taxpayers. Modernize government systems and technology to improve efficiency, reduce paperwork, and lower long-term operating costs for Missouri taxpayers.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

To me, “separation of church and state” means government should stay out of religious liberty and should never interfere with an individual’s right to practice their faith freely. It was intended to prevent government control of religion, not to remove faith or religious values from public life. Americans should always have the freedom to openly live out and express their beliefs without government interference.

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

Strongly Disagree

As a nearly lifelong business owner, I believe individuals and businesses have the right to operate according to their moral and religious beliefs. My Christian faith has guided many of my business decisions, including choosing not to participate in activities that conflicted with my values. In a free society, people should have the right to decide whom they do business with, just as customers have the right to choose where they spend their money.


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.

My view most closely aligns with C. I believe Medicaid and Medicare should remain available because many elderly and disabled individuals have no other realistic option for healthcare coverage. At the same time, I do not support expanding taxpayer funded healthcare beyond those truly in need, and I believe private healthcare and free-market competition remain important for innovation, quality, and patient choice.

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

Strongly Disagree

The Government knows enough about us!


NATIONAL SECURITY

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.

Strongly Agree

I agree that the Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and economic threats to the United States. For too long, American leaders allowed the Chinese government to gain influence over our supply chains, farmland, technology, and critical industries. It is time to reduce our dependence on China, strengthen American manufacturing, protect our national security, and stop allowing foreign adversaries to gain economic control inside the United States.

Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?

Yes. Israel is one of America’s strongest and most reliable allies in the Middle East. They provide critical intelligence, military cooperation, and strategic support in a region that is often unstable and dangerous. Israel serves as an important ally and partner that helps protect American interests abroad while also standing for many of the same democratic values and freedoms we believe in. I also believe as Christians we have a responsibilty to protect Israel.


IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Disagree

I do not support sanctuary cities. Cities and states should not undermine or ignore federal immigration laws while still expecting taxpayers to fund those policies. We must secure our borders, enforce our laws, and ensure that local governments cooperate with federal authorities rather than protect illegal activity.


EDUCATION

I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.

Strongly Agree

I support eliminating the United States Department of Education and returning control of education back to states, local communities, parents, and schools. As a board member of a Christian school, I have seen firsthand the benefits of allowing educators and families to make decisions without excessive federal interference. Education works best when it is focused on students, local values, and parental involvement rather than one-size-fits-all mandates from Washington.

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.

Neutral

I believe parents have the fundamental right and responsibility to direct their child’s health and educational well-being, and government should respect that role. At the same time, society must recognize that children should not be pushed into harmful political or ideological agendas at a young age. Education should focus on preparing children for successful, productive lives rather than political indoctrination.

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 believe marriage is a God-ordained, sacred, and legal union between one man and one woman. This definition has been foundational to society and the family structure for generations, and I do not believe government has the authority to redefine what God established.

I support the expansion of gambling in my state.

Strongly Disagree

While I believe in individual freedom and personal responsibility, I do not support widespread expansion of gambling. Too often, gambling addiction destroys families, creates financial hardship, and ultimately leads to increased burdens on taxpayers through social services, crime, and addiction-related problems. Government should not rely on policies that profit from the losses and struggles of its citizens.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I love my Lord and without him I am nothing. I have given my life to him fully. It is my intent serve as a legistlator that puts Jesus first and all other thoughts second. I am blessed to have many that will Pray constantly for me if elected.


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

Nobody alive today was a slave during those tragic years in American history and therefore they deserve nothing other than the same freedoms given every United States citizen.

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

Born a male , you are always a male. Born a female, you are always a female. No males in female sports and no females in male sports. This should go both ways.


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.

Disagree

While I do not believe in the constant doom-and-gloom predictions pushed by many climate activists, I do believe we have a responsibility to be good stewards of our land, water, and natural resources. We should pursue practical conservation efforts, protect clean water and healthy ecosystems, and promote responsible energy policies without destroying our economy, agriculture, or American energy independence.

What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?

Nuclear and coal


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

I consider myself very conservative. My views are strongly rooted in faith, individual liberty, constitutional rights, personal responsibility, limited government, protection of unborn life, strong families, and preserving the freedoms and values that made America strong.

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?

The goal of the criminal justice system should be to deter crime through the clear threat of prosecution and accountability. When deterrence fails, the system must deliver fair and meaningful punishment that protects law-abiding citizens, upholds justice, and discourages future criminal behavior.

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

Strongly Agree

Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation and online predators, especially as technology and social media continue to expand. At the same time, parents play the most important role in monitoring, guiding, and protecting their children’s online activities. Strong families, parental involvement, and responsible enforcement of the law must work together to keep children safe.

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?

NONE , Shall not be infringed is clear. No gun control will ever stop a evil heart from doing harm to another person.
