QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Vital danger to the mothers' life

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

Strongly Agree

I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.

Strongly Disagree


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

Strongly Disagree

Under what circumstances can government close churches?

NEVER


NATIONAL SECURITY

What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?

Decrease our foreign aid budget and reallocate that money to National Defense.

I support the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement to pressure Israel to withdraw from occupied territories, remove the separation barrier in the West Bank, allow full equality for Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel, and promote the rights of Palestinian refugees.

Strongly Disagree


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)Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded.

Tax-payer-funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded, but to reduce private market costs, we should reduce regulations to incentivize more competitive pricing to deliver more affordable medicine to our most in-need citizens.

Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?

Never


ECONOMY

What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?

After reducing wasteful spending in our budget, we should lower all taxes where we can. That being said, lowering property taxes should be a top priority.

What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?

Florida has to balance the budget by law. I would reduce government spending by cutting bloated bureaucratic state agencies.

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Strongly Disagree


IMMIGRATION

The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.

Strongly Agree

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

People can LEGALLY immigrate if they benefit the United States and are willing to assimilate to our culture. Especially those facing communist political persecution.


EDUCATION

I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.

Strongly Agree


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.

Agree

My son is a Sheriff's deputy, and I believe police officers should be protected for conduct consistent with departmental policy. That being said, if there was misconduct and foul play, then no one should be above the law.

I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.

Strongly Disagree

We can support mental health without pulling money from police officers who keep us safe.


2ND AMENDMENT

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

NONE. Pass Constitutional Carry.

Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.

Strongly Disagree


ABOUT YOU

What do you think is the general purpose of government?

To protect our God-given rights as codified in the United States Constitution.

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

Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).

The American Conservative Union rating website where you can find my legislative record.

Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized in either civil or criminal court for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.

No, never.

What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?

I am running to Pass Constitutional Carry, Fight Bidenflation, Pass the Life at Conception Act, and Secure Election Integrity.


VALUES

Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.

Strongly Agree

I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.

Strongly Disagree

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 agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.

Strongly Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our LORD. Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried. He descended into Hell. On the third day He rose again! He ascended into Heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father, Almighty. From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?

Eliminate Ballot Dropboxes. Audit every election, every year. Make ballot harvesting illegal.


EQUALITY

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?

NO.

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

Strongly Disagree


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Which comes closest to your view? A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost.

A

I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.

Strongly Agree
