1. What inspired you to run for public office, and what positive changes do you hope to bring to your district/state if elected?

As I saw our freedoms and liberties being threatened and the abuse and neglect happening in the name of health care and education, I knew I could not stand by and leave the job of defending our rights to someone else. I knew if I wanted to see change, I had to be willing to be that change, and I will help restore the Florida House to be the People's house. This means refusing special interests deals and the 'go along to get along' mentality, and to be a back stop for our constitutional rights, morality, respect for the rule of law and accountability to those who elect me. It is my faith and my walk with God that has brought me here, and that means I first govern according to His counsel, and that is what we need in order to heal our land and receive His continued blessings.

2. Please identify the top three critical issues facing your state, and how do you envision solving them to benefit the communities in your state?

!. Fighting for our Florida Families: this consists of continuing to stand for parental rights in education by expanding school choice. Remove all remnants of a WOKE ideology that threatens the innocence of childhood, and protecting our most vulnerable citizens- our families and our seniors.
2. Fighting for Medical Freedom: being exhausted by legislation attempts that DO NOT truly solve the issues, I intend to fight to expand our rights to determine an independent course of treatment with our personal physicians and fighting for the right to life of our unborn.
3. Fighting for Election Integrity: returning Florida to the Gold Standard in election integrity. This means not allowing machines with modems and returning to hand counting, along with a defined mail in ballot chain of custody, and keep Florida consistent with an election DAY, not an election SEASON.

3. Would you support or oppose implementing specific policies to promote fiscal responsibility and reduce government spending at the state level, while also addressing debt and ensuring a sustainable economic future for your state?Support
4. Do you support or oppose the belief that the pandemic’s negative impact on medical freedom, which emphasized the importance of safeguarding individual liberties, as well as its negative economic consequences on the people, calls for crucial lessons learned and need for both federal and state governments to avoid overregulation and overreach on small businesses while effectively preparing to handle future challenges?Support
5. In the context of the Bill of Rights, do you support or oppose safeguarding and upholding individual liberties, such as the right to bear arms and freedom of speech, when confronted with potential challenges?Support
6. Considering the ongoing debates on the environment, would you support or oppose balancing economic growth and environmental protection in your approach to environmental policies?Support
7. Do you support and advocate for religious freedom as a fundamental right for all citizens in our nation?Yes
8. Given the issues concerning open borders, border security, and drugs (like fentanyl), do you endorse the classification of Mexican cartels as a terrorist organization and recognize them as a significant national security threat to the United States?Yes
9. Do you believe the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives are important and necessary?No
10. Would you support or oppose the implementation of policies to expand school choice options, such as charter schools, vouchers, or education savings accounts, to empower parents to make the best educational decisions for their children?Support
11. Would you support or oppose passing laws to make it illegal to transition children medically or chemically under 18 years of age?Support
12. Would you support or oppose passing laws to restrict the education of students from K-12 on gender identity, homosexuality, and sexual conduct, and instead, adhere strictly to biology, science, and biological nature?Support
13. Would you support or oppose implementing classical liberal arts education standards in K-12?Support
14. Do you believe that parental rights are fundamental and hold the highest authority, and would you support prioritizing and protecting these rights in education? This includes acknowledging parents’ fundamental role in teaching, raising, and nurturing their children. Please indicate whether you support or oppose this approach.Support
15. If elected, would you support and implement the bill introduced by Moms for America Action that endorses the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Standard in schools, prohibiting obscene, indecent, and profane content, similar to the regulations for radio and TV broadcasts?Yes
