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?
Did not answer
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Agree
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Agree
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Agree
ECONOMY
What is your position on the minimum wage?
Minimum wages hurt small businesses and farmers.
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.
Bonuses for "whistle-blowers" who find cost savings. Create a joint task force with the Attorney General, DCI and other agencies to identify and prosecute waste. Add financial analysts to the Iowa House and Senate to evaluate and publish the true costs of legislative bills. Create and monitor a website for citizens and state employees to identify/report waste/fraud/abuse.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
I'm a strong Christian man and I pray about the wisdom of my decisions as a governmental leader.
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.
I believe that healthcare should be made more affordable and that Medicaid and Medicare fraud cases should be greatly enhanced.
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
The Chinese people are amazing. The Chinese governmental officials pose a substantial threat to the U.S. and we should take it very seriously.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
YES - Israel is the only true democracy in the middle east. They are a source of information and military operations for international threats. I was blessed to do police training in Israel and absolutely support our country standing with them.
IMMIGRATION
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree
This concept defies reason.
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
Since the inception of the DOE, our test scores have fallen and educational administrative positions have grown unreasonably.
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Agree
We've seen foreign donations abused by creating unhealthy influence with college administrations especially in the area of dangerous religious beliefs and organizations. The free Palestine movement is an example of this.
VALUES
Government should recognize and support the fundamental right and essential duty of parents to direct their child's health and educational well-being.
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
Gambling is at a saturation point in Iowa.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am unashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ! I know that Jesus is the risen son of the true and only God, and the only pathway to salvation.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
This is common sense, important for true elections and well supported by a majority of our population.
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
This is basic, common sense.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Disagree
We should be good stewards of God's earth, but climate change is a natural cycle.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Natural gas power plants and pocket nuclear reactors. I hope that solar energy capture expands someday - especially for those in remote areas.
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 believe in God, the American family and limited government that is driven by providing basic services through responsible fiscal means.
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. I was a police officer for 29 years and now work part-time for the U.S. Marshals. I have passed an extensive federal background investigation.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?
Without safety, we cannot enjoy any other aspect of American life. We should love as Christians, but some people can't fit into our society and need to be incarcerated on a long time basis.
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Strongly Agree
Government's primary responsibility is to children, the aged and those with serious disabilities.
Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.
Strongly Agree
Sharia law has ZERO place in America.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
We don't need any more gun laws - they would only hurt lawful ownership.
