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

Abortion providers should be shut down, and doctors who perform abortions should be arrested.

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

None

Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.

Strongly Agree

At conception, a new individual and separate human is formed. This human deserves to be protected, loved and cared for.

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

Strongly Agree

Human embryos are human. Therefore, none should be destroyed.

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

Strongly Agree

Any provider who supplies abortion-inducing drugs should be arrested.


ECONOMY

What is your position on the minimum wage?

I am opposed to a government mandated minimum wage, as I believe private employers should be free to engage with the market to determine competitive wages for their employees.

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

Strongly Agree

Your property belongs to you alone. Capitalism is the world’s most proven economic system, generating unparalleled prosperity for those who embrace its principles. However, free enterprise must still be rooted in community standards. I believe certain industries, specifically the adult film industry, are a detriment to our social fabric and should be banned.

List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.

1. No more sending hard earned American tax dollars to other countries. No more dollars to Israel, Egypt, Ukraine and others. All American dollars back into America. 2. Limit social benefits that have been abused such as SNAP, EBT, Section 8. Thoroughly audit those who are currently using these programs, and set time limits for working age non disabled people. 3. End grants and tax breaks for AI data centers.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

I believe the separation of church and state means that no specific branch of Christianity is forced upon citizens at the federal level. However, the Founding Fathers envisioned a nation rooted in Christian values. Our laws were largely shaped by this tradition, creating a system that reflects those morals while protecting individual conscience.

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

Strongly Disagree

Private businesses have the right to practice their own beliefs, and therefore have the right to refuse service in cases that go against their belief.


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 position is most consistent with Option D. I believe that a truly private healthcare system is the best way to ensure fiscal responsibility, affordable prices driven by market competition, and personal choice. Although a unified, high-trust state might find success with Option A, the current American landscape is best served by moving away from government mandated programs and toward private sector solutions

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

Strongly Disagree

The only time the government should keep a database of people is when it is actively tracking down terrorists and criminals who intend to harm its citizens. Compiling a database of citizens' medical conditions is an overreach that violates personal privacy. Outside of national security interests, the government should stay out of the private lives of its citizens


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 Communist Party is one of America's greatest threats. They actively hack our systems, steal our military technology, and spy on our citizens. I would immediately move to stop the plan of allowing 600,000 Chinese students to study in our higher education system. This pipeline for potential espionage must be shut down, and those university seats should be filled with American students who will build our future, not a foreign adversary’s.

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

No, America's relationship with Israel must end. While we send soldiers to die for their wars, they have never committed a single troop to any of America's wars. We send them billions of our taxpayer money annually. Israel has sold military secrets to China and partnered with the CCP to operate an illegal bioweapons lab in Las Vegas. Even Jeffrey Epstein worked closely with multiple Israeli Prime Ministers. We must stop putting Israeli or any other nations interests above American ones.


IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Disagree

All illegal immigrants must be deported. Any city that protects illegal immigrants must be punished, with city government officials arrested.


EDUCATION

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

Strongly Agree

The federal government should have no role in your child's education. It should be each family's choice where to send their children. Federal involvement has caused massive tuition increases, consistently failed to raise American test scores, and pushed anti-American narratives on our youth.

Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.

Strongly Agree

Foreign governments should never be allowed to influence American classrooms. While I support foreign scholarships for Americans to study abroad, any attempt by a foreign power to use money to impact our domestic curriculum must be banned. We must protect our children from outside indoctrination and ensure that American education remains focused on American values, free from the interference of foreign adversaries.


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

Parents have the fundamental right to lead their child’s health and education. While the state must intervene in clear cases of physical abuse, it has no authority to weaponize the term 'neglect' to punish parental choices. I will block any attempt to label a parent’s refusal to follow specific lifestyle mandates or medical trends as 'neglect'. The government’s role is to protect from objective harm, not to use social engineering to usurp the authority of the family.

Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.

Strongly Agree

This is objective medical harm. I support jailing any doctor who performs these irreversible surgeries on minors and stripping their medical licenses. Likewise, any parent or teacher who facilitates this damage must be held accountable and stripped of their ability to further influence or harm children. While I champion parental rights, those rights end where permanent physical mutilation begins. Our children are our future, and we must do everything for their betterment.

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

Marriage is a sacred covenant ordained by God exclusively between one man and one woman. It is a specific religious institution that the state has no right to redefine. While people may love who they choose and form committed Civil Partnerships, those relationships are not 'marriages.' I support a clear distinction. Marriage remains a holy union of man and woman, while the state can recognize Civil Partnerships for those seeking legal standing and mutual commitment.

I support the expansion of gambling in my state.

Strongly Disagree

Gambling is one of the most predatory industries in existence. The level of addiction, bankruptcy, and broken homes it causes is disgusting. I categorize gambling alongside the adult film industry as a business built on exploitation and subterfuge. Expanding this industry only invites more societal decay. We must protect our citizens from businesses that profit by tricking and destroying the vulnerable.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a Christian Conservative. I believe America is the greatest nation in history and was built on a Christian foundation. I will do everything to preserve our values, culture, environment, and people. I will work to increase our standard of living, make our dollars go further, and build unified, cohesive communities. I will fight to make every American life better and end the abuses we face from those exploiting our social systems or foreign governments stealing our resources. I also care deeply for our environment, and believe we must preserve as much of our natural lands as possible, and limit the amount of pollution and harm we cause to our environment.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

Voting is the most powerful tool a citizen possesses. Because it is so consequential, we must do everything to protect the integrity of the ballot and prevent others from abusing it. I believe Photo Identification is the absolute minimum level of security required to ensure our elections remain free, fair, and transparent. We cannot have a sovereign nation if we do not have secure, verified elections.


EQUALITY

Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.

Strongly Disagree

Reparations are a form of collective punishment that targets today's citizens for the actions of previous generations. While individuals are free to donate their own wealth to any cause they choose, state mandated reparations are a moral evil and a violation of individual property rights. I will never support forcing Americans to pay for crimes they did not commit. We must focus on equal opportunity for all, not state-sponsored racial division

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

Biological men have no place in women's sports or private spaces. Allowing this is a betrayal of women’s safety, privacy, and decades of progress in female athletics. Competition must be based on biological reality to remain fair. Bathrooms, locker rooms, and shelters must remain sex seperated to protect women and girls.


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

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

Agree

Our environment is a finite treasure that must take precedence over short term economic gains, especially against bulldozing our natural environments for corporate development. While the West obsessively self criticizes, the East (China, India and others) remains the world’s primary polluter. We should address environmental issues and climate change through innovation over time, not through state mandates that punish Americans while foreign polluters thrive.

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

Nuclear is the best path forward. It is the most land efficient source, requiring a few miles instead of bulldozing hundreds for solar or wind. While I support Nuclear, I oppose banning coal or gas. We must protect and advance energy, not mandate it


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 am very conservative. We must conserve our environment from overdevelopment, conserve our Christian heritage and culture, and conserve our national sovereignty from foreign influence. Conserve the free market, and only intervene when corporate interests directly oppose our conservative culture. My platform is built on conserving the foundational values that make America the greatest nation.

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 primary goal of the criminal justice system is to protect our citizens by punishing those who harm us. Justice is not optional. When we fail to punish criminals, we harm the innocent. Our people must live without the fear of crime. We must ensure victims find justice while criminals face the full weight of the law. If a judge releases a violent criminal who then harms another citizen, that judge must be held legally accountable for their negligence.

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

Strongly Agree

Our children are being relentlessly targeted online by social media, the adult film industry, and predatory entertainment. The government has a fundamental duty to protect the innocent by enforcing our conservative values. This means shutting down any platform that profits from sexual immorality or exploitation. We must aggressively track down and jail every online sexual predator. There is no room for compromise when it comes to the safety and moral integrity of our children.

Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.

Strongly Agree

America is a Christian nation founded on Western legal principles. Sharia Law is a direct attempt to usurp our government and implement a hostile foreign framework that is fundamentally incompatible with our way of life. I believe Sharia Law must be strictly banned from our legal system. We must ensure that American law remains the sole authority in our land to protect the rights and freedoms of our citizens.


2ND AMENDMENT

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

The Second Amendment is a cornerstone of American liberty. Limiting a constitutional right because of the actions of a few is irrational. It does nothing to stop crime and only punishes law abiding gun owners. Criminals will always find tools for harm, whether knives, bombs, or vehicles. Instead of disarming law-abiding citizens, we must focus on harshly punishing those who acquire firearms illegally and violent criminals. We protect public safety by upholding our rights, not by eroding them.
