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
Planned Parenthood should never receive taxpayer money of any kind for any reason
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Never
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Strongly Agree
There is not room for negotiation on this. God is sovereign over us and our lives.
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 believe that increasing the minimum wage leads to increased prices and does not actually lift up people from poverty.
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.
I support zero-based budgeting, we need to continue investigating the fraud in the sober living homes (this has been an ongoing issue), I support consistently auditing government programs/departments, and I would look to the money for K12 education that isn't making it to the classroom (more than 50%!).
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
It means that the government can not set a state sponsored faith and it can not interfere in the ability of Americans to practice their faith. What it does not mean is that as an elected or as a citizen, I can not bring my Christian faith to the public square. America was founded as a Judeo-Christian nation and our values are based on that.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Individuals and business owners should never have to convey a message that goes against their deeply held religious beliefs. I strongly oppose any SOGI laws. I have spent my career fighting against these laws.
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 it is critical to ensure we root out all waste, fraud, and abuse with government spending. One of the biggest sources of that has been the Medicaid/Medicare programs in Arizona. It was uncovered that there likely was at least $2 to $3Billion of fraud. These need to be cleaned up and remedied immediately.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Strongly Disagree
I do not believe the government should have data bases on law abiding citizens.
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?
The United States should be allies with anyone who is aligned with US interests abroad. Israel is one of those nations.
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
Parents are in charge of raising their children.
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.
Strongly Agree
God made us men and women. I believe we should outlaw gender transition surgeries, providing gender transition drugs, and providing tax payer monies to any entity who performs these two services. I also believe there should be liability for providers who perform these surgeries or provide these drugs to children.
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
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I was raised in the Church as a Maronite Catholic and now attend a nondenominational Church. I believe I was born a sinner and have been saved by grace, through faith alone. Faith is and always has been at the center of my life. As a Lebanese Christian, my family fought for their faith during the Lebanese Civil War and my Uncle died fighting for his faith. I believe truth is eternal and comes from God, through the Bible.
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?
Nuclear, coal and natural gas. In Arizona we recently passed small modular nuclear plants.
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 a strong Christian, America First 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?
The goal of the criminal justice system is to punish criminals, seek justice for the victims and work to reduce repeat offenders so that society can be safer.
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
My family fled from Lebanon for this reason. It has to be banned and not allowed from entering the United States.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
I strongly believe in the 2nd amendment and in our Arizona State Article 2, Section 26 protections. We have very strong gun ownership protections in Arizona and I would work strongly to defend them. Law abiding citizens should not be prohibited from protecting themselves! I also strongly believe in constitutional carry.
