QUESTIONNAIRE*
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.
Strongly Agree
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds or grants from federal, state, or local governments.
Strongly Agree
I support the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which requires health care providers to provide life-saving treatment for infants who survive an attempted abortion.
Strongly Agree
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
If vital treatment is necessary to prevent the death of the mother that may end the life of preborn child.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Governments should not discriminate against individuals, organizations or small businesses because of their belief that marriage is only a union of one man and one woman.
Strongly Agree
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
Strongly Agree
I promise to protect the freedom of Christians to share the Gospel and to practice Biblical principles.
Yes
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
State should stay away from the church, but not contrary.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.
Strongly Agree
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of radical Islamic terrorism?
Radical Islam is a huge national security problem. We should have a more efficient federal government concentrated on its core functions: strong national security; strong military force, which should be used wisely; strong cybersecurity; strong borders; and strong immigration policy serving our national interests.
HEALTHCARE
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.
Strongly Disagree
I support the elimination of private healthcare insurance.
Strongly Disagree
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
More competition, more consumer choice and more freedom (less bureaucratic regulations) for patients, doctors, providers and payors.
ECONOMY
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.
Strongly Disagree
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?
We have to restructure/reform Social Security, so we can keep promises to our current recipients, and be able to fulfill future promises.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
All spending, but especially a lot of waste in the entitlement and health care spending.
Under what circumstances should taxpayers help pay off existing student loans?
We should reform this system and stop pushing students to wasteful debt.Each individual should be responsible for his/her own decisions and debt, but we could provide more flexibility for payment options and deductions. Higher education institutions should also have some "skin in the game".
IMMIGRATION
I am in favor of construction of a wall and other necessary infrastructure on our border that gives complete control over entering and exiting the United States.
Strongly Agree
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) should be abolished.
Strongly Disagree
State and federal funds should be denied to any public or private entity, including but not limited to sanctuary cities, that are not in compliance with immigration laws.
Strongly Agree
Employers should be required to use E-verify to confirm the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States.
Strongly Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Immediate family members of U.S. Citizens and legal immigrants, legitimate asylum seekers, and larger percentage of visa lottery recipients selected based on skills or merits. Immigration should serve our national interest and promote our values abroad.
EDUCATION
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Mandatory minimum sentencing should be required and enforced for violent crimes.
Strongly Agree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
No restrictions for law abiding citizens - it's our Constitutional right against the tyranny of the government and for personal protection.
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
I support BDS (boycott, divestment, and sanction) against Israel if they refuse to allow the creation of a Palestinian state.
Strongly Disagree
I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.
Strongly Disagree
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
The Electoral College should be abolished.
Strongly Disagree
In priority order, what three areas of legislation do you propose to author or sponsor if elected?
1) Healthcare; 2) Immigration; 3) Government spending control and oversight.
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Healthy race relations are important for the strength of our republic. More often than not a "race card" is used by special interest groups to separate us for political gains.
