Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Only if the physical life of the mother is threatened
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

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

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

Never. This is a violation of religious liberty.
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
The church is to be protected from government coercion or interference.

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?
It is important. Israel is an American ally in a hotbed of hatred for the West. They are strategic in keeping these areas from developing unchecked power. In that way they must be given deference.
Islamic terrorism is a threat to the United States' national security.
Strongly Agree

C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Agree
Yes. If these people are receiving government assistance.
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
Our government has meddled too much in American free enterprise and is strangling our economy. One of my main platform points is slashing regulation and building back our base of Agriculture, Manufacturing and Trades.
People who can afford to pay more taxes should do so in order to provide relief for working families.
Strongly Disagree
We cannot punish productivity. We must encourage economic growth to provide family wage jobs for working families.
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
We must root out and punish fraud, slash crippling bureaucracy, and eliminate excessive federal staffing.
IMMIGRATION
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Illegal Immigration should be very difficult and promptly punished. Legal immigration and work visas should be strictly limited. It should be approved on a yearly basis by congress and not to be under the control of executive agencies or the court system. Our elected officials must accept responsibility for the decisions being made, and should not be able to hide behind unaccountable agencies or the court system.
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree
We should not have sanctuary cities for undocumented persons.

Strongly Agree
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Strongly Agree
Foreign governments should absolutely be prohibited from funding American education.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Strongly Agree
One of the most important roles of the government is to punish evildoers. Child exploitation is evil and should be punished to the full extent of the law.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
No restrictions on gun ownership as expressed in our Constitution. I am a 2nd Amendment Candidate.
ABOUT YOU

Never
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 Conservative Christian candidate who believes that our Constitution needs to be upheld. Our national sovereignty and borders must be fiercely guarded. Our current leaders have been in office too long and have grown complacent. I support term limits. I am fiscally conservative and believe that our Nation and State need a fresh perspective to fight the battles against the radical left-wing agenda with integrity, grit and new energy.
VALUES
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.
Strongly Agree
This is abuse to the child and should be treated as such.
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.
Simply stated, my beliefs can be summed up in the Apostle's Creed. I believe we are all sinners saved by grace. This saving grace is through Christ alone. This grace is freely given to all who believe. I believe the Bible is the inspired word of God.

I support the SAVE Act

Strongly Agree
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Nuclear Power, Hydroelectric, and Fossil Fuels. We must allow the use of our own national natural resources.
