RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Disagree
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
Trying to enforce secularism and allow for the representation of other beliefs in society
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.
In a perfect world, "A". But in the world I know we live in, I would settle for "B"
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Disagree

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?
In some ways, yes, but it depends on what you mean.
Islamic terrorism is a threat to the United States' national security.
Agree
IMMIGRATION
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Anyone permitted to immigrate legally should be allowed to do so, but I will say that it's notoriously hard to be permitted to immigrate legally for some people, and that that should change.
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Neutral
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Disagree
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Strongly Agree
VALUES
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.
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
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Raised Southern Baptist by Southern Baptist parents in Mississippi. Converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 2023 (aged 25) to marry my wife in the Dallas Texas Temple. A teacher, I am passionate about religious education (Deuteronomy 6:5-7) and have taught in nondenominational, Baptist, Catholic, and Lutheran private schools. I am a Christian.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree

Strongly Agree
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
We need to explore alternative sources to the current system of fossil fuels we presently use. Wind and solar are nice but need more efficient and space-saving placement and more strength. Nuclear or geothermal are nice but need more research/safety.
ABOUT YOU

Never.
Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.
Never.
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?
Lean Conservative
I don't think this scale accurately encompasses all beliefs. I feel like I'm far-left with some issues and far-right with others. Overall, I am an anti-corruption, anti-establishment, America-first and Alaska-first Christian who bases my platform on Constitutional and Scriptural principles.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Strongly Agree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Background checks and safety measures, but nothing that violates Americans' God-given Constitutional rights
