KEY ISSUES
1. Provide the top 2 reason why you want to run for office.

To help my community move forward into the future.
To assure that we don't over tax our residence by helping to implement fiscal responsibility.

2. Name the top 2 issues in your county, state, or federal district that you wish to address and how?

Over reach of politicians with unlawful mandates. The idea is to get people to understand and embrace the Constitution once again so that our elected officials just cant smoke screen people to follow blindly.
Combat over taxation. I want to help bring fiscal responsibility to where I live, by looking for ways to get the necessary growth our community needs and to crunch every tax dollar that is currently coming in and if possible reduce that tax dollar amount.

3. Do you support defunding the police?

Absolutely NOT

4. What are your thoughts on “Diversity Equity and Inclusion”? Should this be implemented as training for county/city/federal employees? Why or why not?

It should not be implemented. I believe it is just a means of keeping people segregated.

5. With growing pressure to accommodate various lifestyles/identities how would you manage to keep your city/town safe and family friendly?

Well for one, keep these social issues out of our schools and libraries. Then as a City Council Member, I would extend that same practice to our government.

6. Do you think involving residents in decision making in your city/town is important? Why or not?

Yes, community involvement is necessary especially when decisions made, affect the taxes that every resident will be paying.

7. If you received a $1 million grant to use for the city/town/county any way you wanted, what would you do with it and why?

Well that decision would and shouldn't be made by any one single trustee. My vote however would be to put it towards our village infrastructure.

8. What is your opinion on sanctuary cities/autonomous zones within your city/town?

Ridiculous

9. What are your thoughts on mandating the closure of privately owned businesses due to public health concerns aside from code violations?

It is a pure example of governmental overreach and an infringement on our Constitution.

10. Who is the ultimate authority over the health and safety of the people in your city/town?

Public Services & Safety, but when it comes to vaccination and health care it should always be the sole responsibility of the individual.

11. Are you endorsed by other organizations? If so, which ones?

HTRO - Homer Township Republican Organization
