For Presidential and Congressional candidates who refuse to provide voters with their positions, Vote Smart has researched their public records to determine their likely responses. These issue positions are from 2024.
- Despite exhaustive research, Vote Smart was unable to find information about this candidate's position.
- "Do you support expanding federal funding to support entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare?" "No"
- "Social Security and Medicare is not an entitlement program. We as working citizens paid our money into the system and the system steals our money through double taxation and poultry returns. How about letting social security be removed from government control and access to the funds and the interest on the funds? Privatization would ensure long-term payouts at the rates earned over many years of investment." (None)
- "In order to balance the budget, do you support an income tax increase on any tax bracket?" "No" (None)
- "In order to balance the budget, do you support an income tax increase on any tax bracket?" "No" (None)
- "Police officers should be exempt from personal liability because of the volatility of their job and on the spot decision making cannot be second guessed. I would not support that all government officials have exemption from liability because all is a broad stroke and not fair to assume classifications are the same. This is a no win question or at least is one sided. The question is trying to give cover to all officials blindly and this method is wrong." (None)
- "Do you support federal spending as a means of promoting economic growth?" "No" (None)
- "Reign in spending for programs that are not related to bettering the country and subvert the will of the American people and enslave them in debt" (None)
- "We saw how the money was wasted and how those who really needed help were tossed to the side. Bad policies have bad consequences and it is my belief we should help and we should not give money unless we are going to propose accountability to go with the funds provided. Locking down populations, closing businesses, and demanding mask and vaccine mandates is wrong. We are a free country and we should allow people to make good decisions based on science and not fear. Who is holding China accountable for the virus and economic damage?" (None)

| Pro-life | Do you generally support pro-choice or pro-life legislation? | ||
| Pro-life considers the facts of preservation of human life and it our responsibility as a society to speak for those who have no voice. | |||
| No | In order to balance the budget, do you support an income tax increase on any tax bracket? | ||
| No | Do you support expanding federal funding to support entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare? | ||
| Social Security and Medicare is not an entitlement program. We as working citizens paid our money into the system and the system steals our money through double taxation and poultry returns. How about letting social security be removed from government control and access to the funds and the interest on the funds? Privatization would ensure long-term payouts at the rates earned over many years of investment. | |||
| Yes | Do you support the regulation of indirect campaign contributions from corporations and unions? | ||
| It is my belief we have too much money involved in campaigns that have negative effects on voting outcomes. | |||
| Unknown Position | Do you support the protection of government officials, including law enforcement officers, from personal liability in civil lawsuits concerning alleged misconduct? | ||
|
|||
| Police officers should be exempt from personal liability because of the volatility of their job and on the spot decision making cannot be second guessed. I would not support that all government officials have exemption from liability because all is a broad stroke and not fair to assume classifications are the same. This is a no win question or at least is one sided. The question is trying to give cover to all officials blindly and this method is wrong. | |||
| Yes | Do you support increasing defense spending? | ||
| We as a nation should be on the cutting of edge of military readiness and spending is part of the process. What is not part of the process for the military is personnel experimentation. | |||
| No | Do you support federal spending as a means of promoting economic growth? | ||
| Yes | Do you support lowering corporate taxes as a means of promoting economic growth? | ||
| Yes | Do you support providing financial relief to businesses AND/OR corporations negatively impacted by the state of national emergency for COVID-19? | ||
| We saw how the money was wasted and how those who really needed help were tossed to the side. Bad policies have bad consequences and it is my belief we should help and we should not give money unless we are going to propose accountability to go with the funds provided. Locking down populations, closing businesses, and demanding mask and vaccine mandates is wrong. We are a free country and we should allow people to make good decisions based on science and not fear. Who is holding China accountable for the virus and economic damage? | |||
| No | Do you support requiring states to adopt federal education standards? | ||
| Education should be a states rights issue. The feds are too over reaching. | |||
| No | Do you support government funding for the development of renewable energy (e.g. solar, wind, geo-thermal)? | ||
| No | Do you support the federal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions? | ||
| We are attempting to solve pollution politically and not scientifically. | |||
| No | Do you generally support gun-control legislation? | ||
| I am very pro second amendment and it is my belief we try criminals for their crimes and if found guilty, put them in jail. | |||
| Yes | Do you support repealing the 2010 Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare")? | ||
| No | Do you support requiring businesses to provide paid medical leave during public health crises, such as COVID-19? | ||
| Socialism steals the dignity of working men and women and we are seeing the results of bad policies and the attempt to institutionalize workers to government standards. A worker either works for the employer or the government, they cannot work for both. | |||
| Yes | Do you support the construction of a wall along the Mexican border? | ||
| Yes | Do you support requiring immigrants who are unlawfully present to return to their country of origin before they are eligible for citizenship? | ||
| I also will enact or support legislation to have Biden brought up on charges of treason for the southern border invasion. | |||
| Yes | Should the United States use military force to prevent governments hostile to the U.S. from possessing a weapon of mass destruction (for example: nuclear, biological, chemical)? | ||
| No | Do you support reducing military intervention in Middle East conflicts? | ||
| I support Israel and believe Middle East peace can only be understood by force in many areas. The country of origin must want peace before peace can be achieved. Biden screwed up Afghanistan so badly on the withdrawal that twenty years of hard work was wasted in trust and treasure. | |||
| Yes | Do you generally support removing barriers to international trade (for example: tariffs, quotas, etc.)? | ||
| I support removing barriers as long as the host country is not involved in dumping to secure an advantage. | |||
| 1). Bring charges of treason against the Biden Administration for derelict acts against our nation. The actions include the border invasion, attempting to destroying America's energy independences and acts that as a commander and chief that subvert our nations armed forces by leaving billions of dollars of equipment in Afghanistan and forcing vaccine mandates on our personnel. 2). Reign in spending for programs that are not related to bettering the country and subvert the will of the American people and enslave them in debt. 3). I will bring leadership to the House of Representatives. |
