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
While there are many positions on these social issues, everyone needs to vote for me if they wish to have representative government. My opponent has voted against the will of the people on many issues including Parental notification laws and state income tax. I care what the people of WA think and want to have the discussion especially concerning why, as good scientists are always asking the question why.
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Did not answer
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Strongly Agree
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Did not answer
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Strongly Agree
These drugs are showing up in our ground water. Water systems are not designed to filter out these chemicals, causing very unwanted side effects. We need to stop the contamination of our water by halting these dangerous chemicals.
ECONOMY
What is your position on the minimum wage?
When minimum wages increase, the cost of doing business increases also, leaving the entry level positions in no better position than before and causing a lot of people harm. It usually doesn't benefit the people we are trying to help.
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
These are two of the basic natural law rights every human being requires to provide for their life. When humans thrive so does the economy.
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
Investigate child care spending where $1.3 billion is unaccounted for in current audit records. Investigate where the carbon taxes are being spent. Investigate Ferry building programs and alternative possibilities.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
The state cannot direct the churches or demand that anyone worship in a certain way. The state can stop harmful practices that are against the American Constitution.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
People in private business should be allowed to not violate their conscience. The beauty of a country with free enterprise is that many companies can provide the private services.
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.
C.
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.
Agree
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Yes. Israel is the only republic in the Middle East and as such is a force for good there and a key ally.
IMMIGRATION
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree
Sanctuary cities are being used by drug cartels and child trafficking rings to hide in and to do their operations. Allowing these cities to cooperate with NICE would free those being harmed by these operations.
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
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
It is interesting that so many feel the need to copy this very Biblical union but to adjust it to meet their personal views, in both their own lives and then affecting many others by making it law.
I support the expansion of gambling in my state.
Strongly Disagree
Gambling is a tax on the uneducated and the desperate. Neither should be applied.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Jesus loves everyone and wants everyone to know Him. I love to teach that, and teach how we can know Him better to become more like Him. He has standards but they are for our good.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
The only way to have 1 person 1 vote is with photo voter identification at the time of voting.
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
That is racist.
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 a danger to women everywhere. Women have fought for years to have their own sports and now we are digressing back into coed sports. Women are being abused and raped in prisons. This has to stop. Those who do not fight for women's rights should not earn your vote.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Disagree
I have traveled from one end of our nation to the other and our air is clean (ok except LA when the temperature is inverted...quite the bowl there!) and the water is clean. We have a beautiful country! The taxes to remove carbon have not done anything but enrich politicians and make the tax payers poorer. That needs to stop.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Nuclear. It is incredibly efficient and with new technology also very clean. Hydro electric in WA state is also a very reliable method.
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?
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?
To keep the public safe from those persons who will not choose to freely do the right things.
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Agree
Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.
Strongly Agree
Any law that doesn't conform to the natural law upon which the US Constitution and the State's Constitution are founded, and to the US Constitution and the state's Constitution in which people reside, is null and void.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Felons and those with mental issues who have been committed should not be allowed to have weapons, as felons will have forfeited their rights as citizens by violating the laws of the land and mentally challenged persons are a danger to themselves and others by not understanding the ramifications of gun ownership.
