| Pro-life | Do you generally support pro-choice or pro-life legislation? | ||
| Yes | Do you support the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade? | ||
| Life begins at conception. Life is a precious gift from God and only God has the right to take one's life. I pray that we may see a day where abortion is banned, and adoption will be pushed as the main option! | |||
| No | Do you support expanding federal funding to support social safety net programs such as Social Security and Medicare? | ||
| Yes | Do you support a decrease in income taxes in order to balance the budget? | ||
| No | Do you support a wealth tax in order to pay for public programs? | ||
| It has been 23 years since we have balanced a budget! I am the only candidate in America that read the 1,012 page spending bill rammed through in 1 day- it took me a week to read it. I would not support expanding these programs but maintaining them. We have to keep these programs that YOU have paid into for 30-50 years for your retirement! I would love to see the younger generation transition into more of a privatized 401k style plan for them to have more control over! Our government doesn't have the ability to adequately manage many/if any, programs! No new taxes for any programs! We must use the constitution as our guide at all time! | |||
| Yes | Do you support the regulation of indirect campaign contributions from corporations, unions, and individuals? | ||
| yes- regulate get the money with PAC's out of the equation and make candidates focus on the issues facing everyday Americans. Groups/individuals should not be able to buy a seat! Why should Zuckerburg and Soros be able to pour BILLIONS into races to dilute your vote! It's even worse when candidates want to spend millions to buy their seat! | |||
| Yes | Do you support protecting government officials, including law enforcement officers, from personal liability in civil lawsuits concerning alleged misconduct? | ||
| yes, While they are in their official duties; no, UNLESS there is fraud, or some other crime is involved then let the lawsuits fly. If they commit any kind of act of treason against the American people then they need to be quickly dealt with and given a speedy trial. | |||
| No | Do you support increasing defense spending? | ||
| No, they already spend more than we have coming in! We are $34-35 Trillion in debt! We have to get our financial house in order since it has been 23 years since we balanced a budget and they just rammed the 1,012 page spending bill through in 1day that no one read. I might be the only candidate in America that read the bill. It took me a week. | |||
| No | Do you support federal spending as a means of promoting economic growth (e.g. grants, tax incentives)? | ||
| No | Do you support the federal government increasing funding for affordable housing programs? | ||
| No | Do you support the federal government taking action, beyond those of the Federal Reserve, to alleviate inflation? | ||
| I do not support corporate welfare. but possibly some tax incentives depending how many jobs being promised and if it is a WIN WIN for America First! The Government has not successfully run any program successfully! Why do we trust the federal government with anything? We need to reign in the federal government and push many of these items back to the states since the state legislatures don't want to reign in an out-of-control federal government. | |||
| No | Do you support the forgiveness of federal student loan debt? | ||
| NO- The only exception might be a disabled veteran that wasn't covered under the GI Bill. | |||

| No | Do you support expanding paid family AND/OR medical leave benefits (e.g. maternity leave)? | ||

| Lets revisit 230 so big tech can be held liable for censuring of 1,000's of Americans if not millions! | |||
| Give President Trump the funds to finish his wall and secure the border and begin a mass deportation. also, Lets bring everyone on the republican side together to BALANCE the budget for the first time in 23 years and create a pathway to begin paying the debt down over the next 15 years. If I am entrusted with your vote and win June 11, READTHEBILL.COM will be a commonsense tool i use to reign in transparency to Congress by posting ever bill to this site for voters to see! |
