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

Governments are too big/cost too much and too often operate outside their constitutional authority.

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

I’m passionate about civics education for citizens of our self-governing republic. We must teach Americans how to fish… how to look after themselves and to look to their families, friends, and communities as the solution instead of government doling out meals, services, and rules paid for with money government did not earn.

Our nation’s citizens are trillions in debt; state taxpayers are indebted for $10s of billions! County governments owe billions more and there’s $100s of millions in city budgets. Illegal aliens pour across our border using resources/taking jobs. Drug and human trafficking cartels murder, maim, and destroy the citizenry that pays for government intrusion and blunders. Debt enslaves. This must end. There are solutions. It begins with restoring a culture that values life and recognizes a single higher moral authority.

3. Do you support defunding the police?

Absolutely not! A vital feature about police in the United States is that they are not and should never be instruments of government law enforcement. Unlike the FBI, police departments are civil servants often hired through locally elected governing bodies like city councils. Importantly, local police are meant to and should always be accountable the people through our elected representatives.

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?

DEI should actually be spelled, DIE, a word that more aptly describes the stranglehold and extortion racket radical political elements are using to intimidate and bully people and businesses into submitting to mass discrimination with punishing results for all those who refuse to comply.

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

We must start disciplining ourselves to use precise political language. People are not gay. They are homosexuals. We were placed on this earth to be fruitful and multiply. We are supposed to find a mate and procreate. Not only is this human nature but it is all of nature. This means homosexual acts may be "normal" for a small percentage of mankind, but the behavior is not normal in the scheme of life. When special interest groups approach governing bodies and request them to issue resolutions and take actions that support their interest instead of that of the broader community, the answer should always be no, not on the taxpayers' dime or property.

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

We are a republic, not a democracy. As such, residents should be actively involved in decision making operations. Governments at all levels should have as a first priority teaching others what it means to live in and be responsible for a self-governing system.

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?

I would launch a massive, aggressive civics education program to equip the current crop of adults with enough knowledge, tools, direction, and resources to grapple with and eliminate corrupt local governors while laying the foundation for a generation of learning by our youth equipping them to become the next generation of liberty-loving citizens and self-governing Americans.

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

Sanctuary cities and autonomous zones are antithetical to the American way of life and our unique governing system. The notions of sanctuaries and autonomy spaces is properly exercised in the private arena. They should have no place in public affairs.

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

Such acts are unconstitutional. Period.

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

Parents for their children and individuals for themselves. Ever since the "Covid years" I have said that men and women should invest in their unique, one-of-a-kind immune systems because one's immune system is God's checkmate on man's medicine!

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

The state and county Republican parties and local Republican women's club, the California Pistol and Rifle Association, with an A+ score, and Gun Owners of California.

12. Do you support making laws to protect life keeping in mind there are many views on what this means?Yes
