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

1. In 2020 our county HHS committee proposed a quarantine guard ordinance (with one nay vote) allowing "as many guards as necessary" to be hired for the purpose of forcing citizens to comply with communicable disease mitigation. If the citizens hadn't attended the main board meeting en force, I have no doubt it would have been implemented giving non-law enforcement guards the authority to remove people from the homes, burn their clothing/furniture, and issue fines. Clearly we need level-headed citizens overseeing what the agencies implement.

2. Working to get the conventionofstates.com article v resolution passed in Wisconsin made government overreach impossible to ignore. As the counties are charged with implementing many federal and state initiatives, we are somewhat able to provide barriers to burdensome and destructive administrative policy.

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

Protecting personal medical freedom can be achieved when constitutionally sound elected officials create and uphold constitutional law. Often simply reminding everyone involved of the limited role or government and constitutional authority is helpful.

Also, I'm seeing other seasoned supervisors question the status quo more often and hope my presence has encouraged this.

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?

DEI is nothing more than racism and should be logically countered whenever possible. It should NOT be taught in schools. It accomplishes the opposite of it's stated purpose, by creating division and strife.

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

By leading the charge to encourage people who believe in traditional Biblical values to infiltrate public institutions whether they participate in them or not.

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

Most definitely. Local resident who pay for government services should be involved in shaping their goals and values.

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 help people like me run for office. We could win every seat in this "most conservative" Wisconsin County which has been taken over by big government social architects. We could also encourage constitutional conservatives to run in neighboring counties (including Kenosha, Racine & Milwaukee). The medical madness is causing many formally left-wing voters to rethink their political affiliations.

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

It depends on what they are sanctuaries for. Constitional sanctuaries are legal. Sanctuaries that ignore constitutional law are NOT.

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

NEVER AGAIN...if I have anything to say about it.

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

God and to some degree individual parents are responsible for themselves and their families.

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

Republican Party of Walworth County, Walworth County Watch, etc.
