OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Strongly Agree
Abortion is a state issue. The office I am seeking, US Representative for New Hampshire’s 2nd Congressional District, is a federal office. The Constitution does not grant the federal government the authority to regulate abortion. That power belongs to the states and the people under the 10th Amendment. My job in Congress is to defend the constitutional limits on federal power, not to invent new ones.
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Neutral

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Neutral
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Strongly Agree
All laws should be enforced.
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
Free enterprise and private property rights are foundational to a free and prosperous society.
People who can afford to pay more taxes should do so in order to provide relief for working families.
Strongly Disagree
More tax is not the answer to our problems, Less spending and waste is.
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
Out of control federal spending is the main driver of our national debt. We must cut waste and prioritize essential functions to restore fiscal responsibility.
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
1. Slash improper payments and fraud 2. Fix broken procurement 3. Eliminate duplicate and obsolete programs One of the biggest problems with federal spending is that we are repeatedly paying for goods and services we never actually receive. Agencies buy the same things multiple times because of poor tracking, failed contracts, and zero accountability. We need to stop paying twice, or three times, for things taxpayers never got in the first place
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Private individuals and businesses should be free to make their own decisions based on their moral and religious beliefs. Government should not force them to violate their conscience.
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
It means the government cannot interfere with someone’s religion or religious beliefs. It does not work the other way, religion can and does play a role in government.
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). But rampant fraud and abuse needs to be corrected. We also need to remember price negotiations also need to be cleaned up with this as well.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Strongly Disagree
The government has no right to collect and keep its citizens’ private data. I believe the 9th Amendment protects the people’s right to privacy.
NATIONAL SECURITY
With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened. B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger. D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.
C) With the exception that we need to still continue to help or allies and friends.
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 poses a clear and growing threat to America’s security, economy, and technological leadership. We must take it seriously.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Israel is our only true friend and reliable democratic ally in a hostile region. They have repeatedly taken the hard hits and “black eyes” that would otherwise fall on the United States. We also share deep mutual trade and security interests, and America should always stand by and protect its friends.
Islamic terrorism is a threat to the United States' national security.
Strongly Agree
Islamic terror is one of the most, if not the most , threatening and dangerous threats we as a nation are facing.
IMMIGRATION
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Immigration should be limited to those who clearly benefit existing American citizens and are compatible with our culture and moral values.We should never allow people who intend to take advantage of our systems or commit crimes against Americans to enter or remain in the country.
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree
I will never support sanctuary cities. People who enter this country illegally or commit crimes need to leave and should not be allowed to stay.
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
The federal government has no constitutional authority over education. Control belongs with the states and local communities. Since the Department of Education was created, student proficiency has declined while costs have risen every year, proof that its restrictions and bureaucracy are failing our kids.
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Strongly Agree
Foreign governments should never be allowed to fund or influence American education. Our schools and universities must serve American students and values, not the interests of other nations.
VALUES
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.
Strongly Agree
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child constitute child abuse. Genital mutilation has long been recognized by the United Nations as a crime against humanity. Puberty blockers carry serious risks, and clearly should not be used on 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
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a Christian, and my beliefs and values stem from this. My faith centers on Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, the authority of Scripture, and the call to live with integrity, humility, and love for others. It shapes how I approach family, work, community, and public service.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
We need ID for everything else, the only way to guarantee people are who they say they are, they are citizens, when they vote is with ID.
EQUALITY
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
I have made my position on this issue very clear, I have testified in the NH state house to advocate for the separation of men and women in private spaces and sports.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Natural gas is the most reliable, cheapest, and fastest source with the best ROI for electricity today. PA alone has enough to power the U.S. for 100 years. Nuclear (esp. SMRs) is promising, but current red tape blocks meaningful progress.
ABOUT YOU
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
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
I am a conservative, but I am my own person. I will always do what is best for the people of New Hampshire and the United States.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Strongly Agree
ICAC (internet crimes against children) is one the most important government law enforcement duties. I will work to provide as much resources, as needed, to stop these horrible crimes.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Repeal the National Firearms Act (NFA): The NFA is blatantly unconstitutional, as it imposes a tax on the exercise of a fundamental right. National Reciprocity for Concealed Carry: We need federal legislation ensuring nationwide reciprocity for concealed carry permits. Enforce Accountability on Infringing States: It's time to compel the Department of Justice (DOJ) to take action against states that persistently and unconstitutionally infringe on their citizens' rights.
