QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
I am a Christian and strong advocate for life. I believe life begins at conception. I believe that abortion is an option if a mother's life is at risk.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants and Medicaid funding).
Strongly Agree
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 should government close churches?
People have a constitutional right to religious liberty. The decision to worship resides with the individual and must depend on personal judgement whether the risks outweigh the gains. This decision should not reside with the elected government or the en-elected bureaucracy. Give solid, truthful assessments of the risks and allow the people to decide for themselves.
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Secure our borders and keep the fight overseas. Stay vigilant on overseas communications with known terrorist organizations and have a zero tolerance to those who push Sharia law in our nation.
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 options (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 the government should reform healthcare to maximize private health insurance options; D) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.
C
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
I believe the government should not be involved in requiring vaccinations. Show the proven data, ingredients, test results, etc and let citizens decide on their own.
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
I look forward to studying in depth and evaluating the reasoning behind the various elements of the code. My overall approach will be to cut wasteful spending and focus on funding priorities first to improve our quality of life and keeping our citizens safe.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
I believe a top down inspection of every section of the budget can eliminate administrative bloat and projects that don't directly improve our economy or quality of life.
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?
Only those who have been vetted and have completed the longstanding studies of our culture/beliefs and swear an oath the the country. Also, only allow those who can contribute to the economy and will not need subsidy from the taxpayers. All immigrants should be able to speak and understand the English language. Any criminal activity should revoke their immigration status and prompt immediate deportation.
EDUCATION
The state should prioritize education funding by allowing dollars to follow the child instead of focusing on programs and administrators.
Strongly Agree
If you support giving parents more educational options, please list all of the following options that apply and in priority order: A) A universal Education Savings Account (ESA) program; B) An ESA program for low-income children only; C) Expanding tax credits for businesses to give to private schools; D) Expanding public charter schools; E) Allowing homeschoolers to take classes at the local public school.
D|C
What most closely matches your view on pornography? A) I agree with the American Library Association that any person of any age should have access to any book; B) Library collections, displays and events should be curated using age-appropriate guidelines, similar to what we do for movies (G, PG, R, etc.); C) Mississippi libraries should follow state laws that prevent pornography from being accessible to minors.
C
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Strongly Agree
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Strongly Disagree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
I am a strong supporter of the Second Amendment. The Constitution has the direct verbiage "...shall not be infringed."
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
A gun cannot fire without an operator.
ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
The role of government is to serve the people and facilitate services to improve the lives of citizens.
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
Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).
Did not answer
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
What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
I've spent a decade serving in leadership roles at local, state, and national levels. I've built the relationships in Jackson that will certainly help Desoto County and District 7 see a larger share of state revenues to improve infrastructure, improve commerce fluidity, and create jobs. My goal is to make Desoto County a better place to live, raise a family, and retire.
VALUES
What most closely matches your view on marriage? A) Anything goes; B) Marriage between one man and one woman should be promoted and encouraged; C) A divorce should be hard to get; D) Marriage is important, but no-fault divorce should be allowed.
B
Judeo-Christian values establish a framework of morality that 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 am a Christian and believe that all are created in His image. I believe He gives each of us unique talents to serve Him and one another.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
We must show ID to fly, enter government buildings, drive, bank, etc, so we should require the same for elections. It should behoove everyone to have confidence in election integrity.
What most closely matches your view on ballot measures? A) Ballot measures should be able to amend the constitution with few, if any, restrictions; B) Ballot measures should only be able to propose changes to laws when signatures are collected from people all across the state; C) The current process of allowing the Legislature to propose constitutional amendments will result in the best outcomes.
C
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Racism in any form is wrong and very harmful. However, I believe racism is being over reported as an attempt to divide our nation and/or distract it from bigger issues.
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.
