OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

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

Strongly Agree

Acting as attorney for a Catholic student, I successfully sued the Montgomery Women's Medical Clinic (abortion provider) and put the abortion doctor out of business (Dr. George Wayne Patterson).

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

None.

Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.

Strongly Agree

We personally had two children after the age of 45. What a blessing.

The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.

Strongly Agree

The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.

Strongly Agree


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

'Separation of church and state' is not included in the Constitution or Declaration of Independence. It was merely in a letter from Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury, Connecticut Baptist Association. It has been misapplied. The government shall not ESTABLISH a religion. It is not meant to prevent faith in the public sector. I paid for, framed, and posted a Ten Commandments poster in my official government office when I was State Auditor. It still stands today.

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

Strongly Disagree


NATIONAL SECURITY

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.

Strongly Agree

Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?

Yes. Israel is a vital ally in the Middle East and worldwide. I am strongly pro-Israel. Israel should be defended as a forever home to the Jewish people. "I will bless them that bless you and curse them that curse you."


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

The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.

Strongly Disagree


ECONOMY

What is your position on the minimum wage?

Leave it as is.

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

Strongly Agree

List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.

1. Eliminate fraud and misuse in social security, Medicare and Medicaid. 2. Audit the Federal Reserve Board and possibly eliminate it. 3. Put Congress under the same laws as everyone else. 4. Perform a DOGE-like program in Alabama state government.


IMMIGRATION

I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.

Strongly Disagree


EDUCATION

I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.

Strongly Agree

Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.

Strongly Agree


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?

To enforce the laws, protect the public safety, and absolve the falsely accused.

Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.

Strongly Agree

Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.

Strongly Agree


2ND AMENDMENT

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

None. "...shall not be infringed."


ABOUT YOU

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

I am a highly independent questioner of the establishment. Make Alabama Great Again.

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.


VALUES

Government should recognize and support the fundamental right and essential duty of parents to direct their child's health and educational well-being.

Strongly Agree

Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.

Strongly 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

I support the expansion of gambling in my state.

Strongly Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a born-again Christian. I am a baptized believer in Jesus Christ. ..."the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the father except by me."


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree


EQUALITY

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

Strongly Disagree

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


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.

Strongly Disagree

What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?

A mixture of natural gas, coal, safe nuclear, common sense solar and hydroelectric.
